Talk about a lack of vision. Someone needs to hand city staff a dictionary so that they can look up the definition of “PLANNING”. Of course we don’t need housing right now. But what about 10 years from now or 20 years down the road, what about then? Will we need housing, shopping and city parks then? Duh!

It would seem to me that the right thing to do is to study all the options, including the Bishop Ranch. I am not an expert, I do not know if there is enough water or what traffic patterns will be and these are all important aspects when deciding on new development.

However, without even taking the opportunity to study them, we will never know. It seems almost stubborn and childish by the city to dig in their heels and say NO before the process has even began. Their job is to plan. Someone needs to remind them that planning involves the future. Not just this moment.

On Bishop Ranch No More?
