Please Don't Tell Us How to Live!
RECEIVED Fri., June 24, 2005
Dear Editor,
Thanks for giving our side of town some attention [“Y Not?,” News, June 24]. Albeit slanted.
We live in a 34-year-old subdivision only one mile from the Y in Oak Hill, in a house on 1 acre that existed before SOS was a sparkle in Bill Bunch's eye. We moved here five years ago from a house across from Barton Springs to escape the madness that emboldens that neighborhood whenever there is a concert or a holiday event at the park.
We desire to share in the fruits of labor and life which includes the "right" to good transportation, neighborhood shops, restaurants, music venues, shopping malls, biking and hiking trails, and so forth. We do not want, or need, SOS or Ms. Robin Rather or Mr. Bill Bunch or Mr. Sal Costello or Ms. Margot Clarke and their cronies telling us "what is good for the aquifer" and "how not to pay for a toll road.” Look, the aquifer (all three sections of it) will survive mighty fine with the Oak Hill Association of Neighborhood vision. The offices of AMD are more than welcome to our part of town. We look forward to the fresh happy faces of the technocrats in our local establishments and to help us grow our neighborhood so we do not have to drive long distances to run errands.
This is clearly a case of "Yes! In My Back Yard" syndrome, imagine that. Please back off and let us build the neighborhood that we desire.
