Dear HCN,
Thanks for the Sept. 29
article on the “green” subdivision in Springdale, Utah, but it’s
too bad the article did little more than lament a done
deal.
I propose you inaugurate a column of
insensitive subdivisions and list names and phone numbers of
unscrupulous developers, and local planning/elected officials who
can alter or stop these alarming projects before they become law.
By uncloaking developments from their green mantle of propriety,
you may protect watersheds, scenic vistas and unstable soils from
greedy schemes. In explaining how these developments unfold, rural
communities like mine could learn the hard lessons and try to
prevent their
re-occurrence.
