James, you're wasting your time in the Old World.  Why pursue the thankless 
task of trying to induce Europeans to end their neomedieval antidevelopment 
ways when there are indeed millions of go-getter, happy-as-clams Americans 
who think exactly like you?  Come on over, grab some financing, fire up a 
bulldozer and start building.  There are still oodles of purple mountains, 
spacious skies and fruited plains here screaming for developer's imprint.
