The Desert Sun
Asleep at the switch again- There are so many foreclosures in Palm
Springs, brown grass because of no irrigation, vandalism because of no
exterior lighting.
Hello — has anyone at City Hall (management) thought of talking to the
Desert Water Agency or Edison for a minimal fee for the irrigation and
electricity to maintain these properties and be collected when the
property sells, or does this make too much sense?
I think this is called involvement by the city, DWA and Edison. Would not
the neighbors be happy about the property next door looking better until
the property is sold?
Why the city does not ask for more input from its citizens is a mystery.
Better yet, just pay attention to the concerns of citizens whether via local
newspaper in the Opinion pages or the numerous blogs or countless e-
mails sent to our representatives, which seem to go unread or
unanswered (which also is a mystery). Or would you rather spend
$75,000 a year on a dysfunctional fountain?
If you all agree please speak up.
