Re. Hear thfire PUD mtg. 9/23;96
We did not come to the meeting to be insulted nor.to witness
seemingly bored council members.
Contrary to a statement made by a_.counci,l. member, we _o pay our
share by paying gasoline taxes (supposedly used for road repair),
sales tax and property tax.. You see "estates", we see
agriculture, cows for meat and milk, sheep for wool,.donkeys;
llamas, and horses for pets, pleasure, and work.
How. many city people use public .transportation instead of their
cars? Do you? People .living in the country do not go .to the
store everyday nor use their cars eight to ten times a day. We
are more efficient and combine many jobs into one. We give up so
"called conveniences for the joy of country living.
"Density..= efficiency" you say. In fact it equals higher police
costs.' Human.beings are not sardines to be vacuum packed.
Furthermore, we do not need nor want stores on every corner.
There are too many empty store buildings now, as well as unsold
new dwell Trigs .
Why does anyone insist on developing property.with the many
problems as the Hearthfire land has? With .the wet lands, the oil
well, and the.lack of necessary roads, schools and
"conveniences", why did the city annex the land in the first
place?
:lust how far out of Fort Collins must we move to be able to live
in the country for a lifetime?
Sincerely,
