The New Benedict Arnold
RECEIVED Mon., July 31, 2023
Dear Editor,
Why do we choose to live where we do ? I suspect the answer is two fold; we live where we can afford to and we live in neighborhoods that we like. Realistically we navigate this our entire lives. This dilemma is here to stay. As we gain financial stability we increase our choice of neighborhoods. That's the way it is, so why does it make sense to tear apart a neighborhood, make people live too close to others and offer no parking? Not to mention put more straws in the drought stricken aquifer, and a failing water delivery system. This push to change the code is disguised as a feel good, help the poor, let old people stay in their house etc. If you can't afford it, you lessen your choices. This attempt to fool the people is a welcoming jester! I will tell you this – the developers and real estate speculators will be the real winners. Oh, by the way, in case you haven't heard, Leslie Pool is the new Benedict Arnold.
