http://www.laurentsd.com/2006/09/22/a-surprise-in-the-polls/ a journey towards building world's first fully integrated town Wed, 13 Dec 2006 15:49:44 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 http://www.laurentsd.com/2006/09/22/a-surprise-in-the-polls/#comment-56 Sun, 24 Sep 2006 02:03:48 +0000 http://www.laurentsd.com/2006/09/22/a-surprise-in-the-polls/#comment-56 I think that whatever come to a person's mind first or second or third is certainly important to that person. You have like maybe 75 that responded so far. That is a very small number so far from thousands that would love to move to a town like this. I think, in my opinion, the key to this town is to pull in jobs that is attractive enough in bringing educated people that can serve good role models and will serve a dominio effect thru "word of mouth" and turn into a martha vineyard 2.

I don't want us to focus on building indoor pool because we think that's cool and may bring new people... while in reality, they are looking for something different. Sure enough, indoor pool isn't as important as school, grocery store and medical clinic.We can not have a lot of things in the first 1 to 3 years of a new small town. Many things would be added over the time, most by entrepreneurs themselves. Basically, this gives us priority areas to focus on adding to the new community.

Because they want doctors and their staffs who can sign. Some of us are getting tired of dealing w/ the accessibility issue at medical clincs or hospitals. Having a medical clinc in Laurent will give signers great opporunties to be a doctor or to be a medical-related staff.A question - can you give us a reason why are we having this poll? If one doesn't make the top 3-5, does that mean they will not be existed in Laurent within 3-5 years? Or will you leave that to business investors to decide?

Gotta have a hardware store, especially if new construction is going on. Sometimes a person has to go back 3 or 4 times a day! How about a gas station and a hardware store?
