Quote by Stephen Richards

Nobody is ecstatic about it. It's ugly, it occupies or will occupy a piece of our property, it commits us to having it there for a long period of time. On the other hand, it would be a source of income ... and it does provide a service to the community.

Nobody is ecstatic about it. It's ugly, it occupies or will

Summary

This quote reflects the conflicting emotions associated with an undesirable situation. While the individual acknowledges the negative aspects, such as the ugliness and inconvenience of the situation, they also recognize the potential benefits. They weigh the drawbacks, such as the occupation of their property and the long-term commitment, against the advantages, such as earning income and benefiting the community. Essentially, it illustrates a complex attitude where the individual reluctantly weighs the pros and cons of a less-than-desirable circumstance.
