What I find interesting is how many of the signers and commenters actually live in Breckenridge. Nearly 80% of the town's residents voted to have marijuana treated exactly like alcohol. If you don't live here, you don't get a vote. If the idea of marijuana stores on Main Street is that repugnant to you, you don't need to visit.
Live in Texas. Will not be bringing my family and money to breck. You are not a business friendly town. Can't beleieve what I just witnessed on high profits.
My wife and I own rental properties in Breckenridge, and am very concerned about how the public perception of the the town is being further transformed from a family friendly community into paradise for pot smoking (and purchasing). I encourage the Town Council to not allow retail shops in the Main Street area, and limit them to less conspicuous locations on the outskirts of town. The club on Main Street is more than enough to remind us that it is available. If you go down this path then you might as well allow Burger King, McDonalds, and other fast food chains as your character is being forever altered anyways by your decision.
As a property owner, Rick Bunchman has every right to not rent to a retain marijuana establishment, as does any other property owner. This is how the MARKET addresses the issues and exactly what would happen here. There would likely be no more than one or two additional shops, if that, between the strict rules on location, signage and the limited number of landlords that would be willing to rent. But there Town Council and the voting population have expressed a majority opinion that it should be allowed, if someone can find a legal space and a landlord willing to rent to them. It is hard to destroy the character of the town - which has always been one that was funky, welcoming and embracing, if in reality you can't find a lease.
Tim, many of us are second homeowners and pay significant taxes to the Town of Breckenridge. To say we have no say in the matter because we are not a full time resident and can't vote is shortsighted at best.
When yourlook at all of the statistical evidence online regarding pot
I agree Mo! i'm only on 20 but it is difficult to even find the BCC on Main Street even if you have the address. How on earth is it having a negative impact

I am not in favor of anymore marijuana shops on main street. We are changing the character of this town in a bad way! I own retail spaces on main street and would never rent to a marijuana operator regardless of the high paying rent they might offer!
