This article says developers are flocking to town because it is safe, business friendly and good schools. Well good for them, because when they complete their cluster homes and make millions, while the existing home owner suffer from the massive influx of people, all of the reason they came to the town will BE GONE !!!
The schools will be overloaded causing great expenditures for maintenance, and of course new schools will be needed and County taxes will increase to build them. The so called safe area will be over run by quality of live issues, graffiti, mail box break ins (already epidemic in area), speeding ( already bad in the area and they can do nothing to stop it). Not to mention the break ins during the day time.
Now I am not against development, I was a developer, But the thing is I bought land that was zoned for what I wanted to develop. The criminal developers around here buy land zoned one thing and know they can get it changed to what ever they want no matter how much opposition there is from the existing home owners that have spent their life savings to live a semi rural life style.
It is a viscous plan they have created, retail will not come with out many homes. Understood, Who says we need a strip center and gas station on every street????? Why do we need a Premium Outlet mall, are we going to shop there, NO it will draw people from allover the area to our roads to speed and clog them up,more stop lights, more cops, bright signs, noise.
The article states the Town is looking for ways to bring in the infrastructure so the developers do not have to... OH GREAT we pay for the infrastructure to ruin our life style....
There can be a happy medium if the dam Town was not so corrupt toward developers and so dam hell bent on being, oh say PHOENIX. If we wanted to live like that I would have bought in Phoenix.
Oh by the way if you want to see what Marana will look like soon, drive down Houghton or look to the right on I10 out that way..pretty ugly....
They talk of the Towns strategic plan, well who's vision is it,,,, not the residence, it is the vision of Hoynea, and his cronies that are all in business that rely on housing, real estate, insurance, ect.
