Tom says:<br>
"One suggestion to maintain a large portion of <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City>'s "green"ery would<br>
be not to pave a 77-acre parcel that may evolve into nothing more than a<br>
weed-infested blacktop eye-sore."<br>
<br>
Another suggestion: The best "zoning" is
"owning". You want to keep it<br>
"green", buy the sucker.<br>
