Yes, everyone hates speed trap towns (rightfully IMO.)

The schadenfreude of small government failing to produce a thriving city with that particular cherry on top is why this is on the front page.

If this city had connected to the sewer, got a Walmart and become a normal and forgettable suburb other than its tax rate nobody would be interested in its story but because the insistence on low taxes and small government created what many here would consider bad results it is of interest.
