Dear Denyelle,
I am writing in opposition to another rediculous project in Truckee. Canyon
Springs, the former TahoeBoca estates project, is yet another example of greedy
developement attempting to destroy our town, our wildlife corridor, our open
space, and our lives in the interest of making a buck. But in this case, like it
was in years previous, it is most disheartening to see the people in our town
hall thinking of approving this stupid, yes it is stupid, project. The most
recent project in this area, Cambridge five, destroyed open space to create lots
for homes. Currently, the first home built four years ago now, is not sold. In
fact it never sold. 5 homes have been built and the rest were in bankruptcy. The
area had more use when nothing was on it than it has since. How many projects do
we need to have in bankruptcy in this town. How many empty subdivisions are
needed. When you destroyed the water table in Prosser with Greys Crossing, did
you people feel any guilt? You did it and if I lived there you would have heard
much louder cries for foul and a law suit that would never end. If it happens
again here, I will empty my wallet to make you and the developers pay and keep
paying. This area is miles from town. The access will be on a steep grade. The
homes will be as close to tract homes as can be done here, please...do we really
need them. I know you will approve it anyway but at least I have said my peace.
Since becoming a town, Truckee has shown us that the new wealthy can buy what
they wish, even if it only serves their pocket books. How about making them foot
the bill for the new pool facilities at the Rec Center. At least that would show
us you care about the taxpayers a little bit.
