An island at the end of the rainbow.
According to a letter to the editor published in The Garden Island newspaper on July 2, 2006, by Fred Wells, "The island of Bermuda requires that for every vehicle brought onto the island one must be taken off. Santa Barbara, Calif. limited the number of new water meters to be given out once a year on Jan. 2 by lottery. San Mateo county (California) preserved its coastal farmland by not allowing subdivision. Two counties formed the Mid-peninsula Open Space District buying up all the land in the hillsides preventing any future expansion of over a dozen cities." He says, "There are many models." He reminds us, "Remember, the mayor appoints the planning director and commission, and the County Council creates the ordinances."
