GROWTH: Burden of cost

Do your thoughts rhyme with mine?

If they don’t that’s OK; just need to have my say.

Old timers keep paying through the nose

for those good folks who chose

to come our way without established ways to pay

for the rising tide of needs,

that their very presence breeds.

Come on, leaders, bite the bullet,

you know the answer, now please fulfill it!

Devise a way for developers to bear

the major burden of the cost

before our paradise is lost,

completely lost.
