P&Z approving Avimor is one more sign the fox is guarding the hen house. Guess who is going to pay for widening 55, adding overpasses and underpasses later, and cleaning up after this substandard plan. Yep, you and me. Am I the only Idahoan tired of subsidizing out of state developers???

Looks like Ada County Planning and Zoning is a clone of the Boise City Planning Department – – the promise of more tax revenue rules the day regardless of any impacts or public input.

Enough money will buy just about any person, place or thing.

Ed note–Jack, those are called nouns!

Jon Mason commented on another post that roads cause sprawl. This is a case where the road is a two lane highway without stop lights or turn lanes, except at a golf course and passing lanes on the grades. But regardless sprawl is “happening”. I think roads don’t cause sprawl. Commissioners, on the other hand, apparently do.

Perhaps some of your readers will remember some months ago when a member of the SunCor group wrote an editorial which appeared in the Statesman. That person editorialized that Treasure Valley residents need to learn to conserve water. As a long time resident of this area – from 1947 – I resent having that kind of admonishment from someone who is seeking to ship thousands more residents to the area in order to fatten his own wallet.

As for the possibility that Commish Yzaguirre might get financing from that group – it has already been established that he is financially unethical, and I can’t see how anyone could argue otherwise.

We give this area five years or less before it becomes unlivable, so we are looking for other opportunities.
