I read with dismay the actions of the Palm Springs City Council
concerning incentives for bringing more air traffic to our enchanting city
and picturesque valley.
Organic growth is inevitable but should be controlled and limited. This
action is reckless and ignores the issue of the continued quality of life in
our city, valley and especially those living in areas impacted by the
airport and which you represent. IN SHORT, IT IS PANDERING TO THE
ALMIGHTY DOLLAR AT THE EXPENSE OF ALL THE CITIZENS YOU
REPRESENT.
There has been little or no movement to controlling noise and pollution
from the airport. Words are cheap and some good words have been
used in furtherance of this goal, but no noticeable actions have been
taken. Now, actions have been taken that are contrary to controlling the
airport to the extent possible.
I think all cities in our valley would be concerned with unchecked growth,
bringing us ever closer to an Orange County in the desert. All should get
together and discuss controlled growth and quality of life issues. It’s
apparent that most are not even sensitive to our environment as
evidenced by the approval of resorts using our limited water resources. I
guess we’ll have to see what the next election brings, perhaps a change
in representation.
