dukesmom - the correct address is 1323 Indian Trails. kmm - we do not mean to incite a lynch mob, our hope is that people will visit the location and realize that there is no safe direction to discharge a weapon and realize that every man, woman, child and animal within a mile+ of this location was at risk of being wounded or killed on Saturday morning (that includes those on Hwy 40 at the time). And with this realization we hope that people will contact the Police/Sheriff/City Council/County Commissioners or all of the above and voice their concern. Our true hope and intention is to find the responsible person/persons as soon as possible. Others – there is a reason snipers shoot from inside a building if possible, the opening acts as a silencer, even poor old Duke probably didn’t hear the shot dukesdad
Marie Matta I do not know who said it first, but "It is better to have people think you are a fool rather than open your mouth and prove it" fits your letter to the T. You obviously have no idea what is "really" going on in Arizona and know even less about the new statute.
George, Very entertaining. You mock my math and then use the kind of math Vote No used. By the way my math was a poke at how pathetic and apathetic we have become. With only 60% of the population registered and only 60% (a record) of them voting, I have to wonder what is the real representation? Do I really have to bring up the grocery store w/most of the people west of 13th using it, decreased traffic from the west, that this was a 20 - 30 year project, that 25% is better than 0, ect. to show you're math is Vote No math? As far as Charlie goes, maybe he is familiar with the fact that over 40% of our population is in or works for the government and the government produces nothing (maybe a few overpriced inferior cars now). Or that history shows that as the economy crashes, it is the producers that survive and recover faster. Reagan, probably, Marx, probably not. The City bled SB700 and I do not see them coming back for more. I also see the precedent of "give give give and see no return" has been set for all who dare.
Scott, Could the vote be considered reason to abandon the urban growth boundary? Could cents not sense have more to do with political decisions? Why is South Valley a better location?
If I'm SB700, I'm suing the City and recovering the Victory Hwy money and all the other money extorted for the project, making a deal with the County on the whole 5 acre thing, packing my money (a lot more than if the annexation were approved) and moving on to retirement (talk about no long term obligation). Even without 5 acre lots, SB700 still has no economic incentive to play the City's game again. I hope you're right about us seeing a new version, but if not, Welcome to Aspen II.
Scott, 61% of the 60% that registered being 60% of the population, do not understand simple economics if they want Steamboat to ever have any affordable housing. And as you point out, the "haves" won and the "have nots" lost. George, It seems that you are suggesting a better plan can be made. Unfortunately that boat has sailed and no developer in their right mind will ever try to accommodate the City again. TWill, Good point, now the TAX PAYER will be paying for the Victory Highway and all of the Hwy 40 improvements. Thanks for voting no. Please reread Charlie's letter and get the point that he was very fortunate to have genes that taught him that hard work and actually producing something will guarantee his success. Time will judge if he can live up to the high bar his family has set for him.
lewi, You are right to say "No it was not exactly what we asked for" because it was so much MORE. (Money for Hwy 40, 15 acres, parks, school, retail space, infrastructure, jobs...) That you, the 61%, can not understand simple economics is at the heart of the end of Steamboat. What part of more houses do you not understand? The "I want a free house downtown" were joined by the "I want my house to double in price every 2 years" and voted to make us Aspen II. Back to Charles, he is 24 and he gets it. His letter is probably the best written, most well thought out and eloquent thing ever printed by the Pilot. I have no doubt that Charles will prosper, it is just sad that it will not be from making Steamboat a better place but from building second homes in place of the homes that now house locals.
Looking the gift horse in the mouth? $30 to $40 million will be charged to the tax payer if you vote no. Lets Vote says "2000 homes not selling + 2000 more = lower home values". Is that not the definition of affordable housing?
carlyle Why were you and the others, that believe Jane should have been fired, not at the meeting last night? I was there and was the only person that spoke to the accountability for the mistake that was made. My continued concern is that Jane, and the others responsible for the mistake, are not suffering any consequences for their actions. As I understand it, they are still illeagly $34,000 over budget. Is Jane volunteering to cover that or does she expect her underlings to suck that up also? Mind numming to think of employees taking a pay cut because their boss dropped the ball.
