They're welcome as long as they don't try to change things here to make it like where they came from. For example, they want the poor residents to get tidied up, get rid of the junk cars in their yards. A few of these city people want me to enforce ordinances-or want new ones. And many of them want zoning. I'm very against it. People in rural areas need to be unrestricted. For example, someone might need to open up a little hair shop."
