>America has an attitude problem

Yup.

>Like, there is nothing left to do.

Nope. That's not it.

More like: There is nothing you're allowed to do.

In my town, we tried to get a town only beach, since most of the beaches in town are owned and controlled by CCNS and fill up with tourists in the summer.

But our town owned undeveloped beach-front land, so we tried to get a parking lot approved. Sounds easy right?

Environmental impact study, traffic study, land use issues, etc... The final reason why we couldn't make this happen was a MOTH...an insect. That is why we don't do much any more. They want you to spend $50K on studies...just so they can tell you no.
