Elaine - Outstanding summation of this screwed up mess. It's mind ****ing to me that city planners can ignore a petition signed by hundreds of registered voters who do not want this development. Neighbors don't want it, the community doesn't need it, yet the Decision Maker decides to downplay the outpouring of feelings from residents because, apparently, the city of Lacey cannot say no to more fees and more property taxes. My property taxes keep increasing yet I see no comparable increase or improvement in services. It seems as though the entire Thurston County is for sale to the highest bidder. How does this attitude preserve what is great about this region, if every open lot is seen as more tax revenue rather than for the aesthetic and biological payback?
