Excellent news reached me when I was away on a business trip in San Francisco. Construction comission of Inkoo (Inkoon rakennuslautakunta) granted construction permit (rakennuslupa) and appointed a deposit of 8.000eur so that construction work can be started already during 30 days appeal time.

According to local regulations there’s a right to appeal all decisions of construction comission. They publish the latest decisions on the web-site. And like in “Hitchhiker’s guide to the Galaxy” Vogon captain has said: “all the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department on Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth Years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge a formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now!” The cries of protest continue from the screaming multitudes on Earth, “What do you mean you’ve never been to Alpha Centauri! Oh for heavens sake mankind, it’s only four light years away you know. I’m sorry, but if you can’t be bothered to take an interest in local affairs that’s your own lookout!”.
