No argument in favor of the proposition was filed in the office of the City Clerk. Industrialization belongs near freeways with easy access to a large number of commuters. This area is remote, rural and primarily residential and agricultural. Costs to improve infrastructure to this area would be borne by YOU the taxpayer.
Redevelopment is the answer to providing industrial space and improving the city in general.
Ruining this rural community will only add to the taxpayers' burden. Decreasing the value of properties will degrade the quality of Escondido's schools. The increased land use will contribute to our higher energy costs and potential water shortages. Increased commutes will create more traffic and air pollution and diminished quality of life. It is a grave injustice that many of the citizens in this area cannot vote to preserve their private property rights.
