egregious development by TPA Residential .  I have been living adjacent to a nightmarish and non stop assault on my quality of life for 15 months  and NOW?  It's even worse and STILL no end in sight. Originally, when they publicized the plans they claimed the entire project including vertical buildings would be finished by June of '24.  They won't even be finished with the mitigation by then.  
They are taking absolutely NO care to keep the toxic dust and dirt out of the air and it is floating around the area coating everything, including my home and car.  When I approached the site manager the other day and asked instead of crushing the old concrete slabs through a grinder making horrible noise and spewing toxins into the air why don't they haul it all out and crush it in a waste disposal area,  he denied it was happening, said "It's too expensive" So in other words, we are creating a  high decibel, highly stressful atmosphere and spewing toxins  all over  a residential area and then  dismissed me, told me to get off the property and that he would not discuss it.  
I have not been able to use my property during the day outside since August of '22 due to the noise, stench and toxic nature of the site where old homes full of asbestos and lead paint and cars and who knows what else was dumped there.  I can literally feel grit and dirt on my face if I have to go out in my yard for any reason.  And it still stinks out there at night most of the time. 
I probably have the worst of it, given that my property is on the corner closest to the operation with both front and back yards facing it, but it's affecting people across, along both sides of the block.  
It's become inhumane and abusive and made my lovely home a hell hole.  And TPA does not care whatsoever.  They lied from the beginning about the scope of this project to keep people from standing up against it. Either that or they are catastrophically incompetent, which is as bad.  And NOT ONE TIME, has ANYONE offered me ANY compensation for the LOSS of the use of my property, for the stress, for the dirt and dust all over my pergola, my porch, my outdoor furniture, my care. EVERY SINGLE DAY. 

They sent these smiling young representatives over in the early summer of 2020

to show us all the wonderful plans for the location and said NOTHING about the mitigation, although I knew from a neighbor that there would be some.  And when they did get it started and it was evident that this was really bad, they lied about how long it would go on. John Jensen, The project manager said to my face that it would be completed no later than March of '23, which in October of '22 when he said it, sounded horrible. 5 more MONTHS of this?!!! That's a dream now. 

This disgusting glossing over of it that everyone's values will increase because of it while they are destroying our rights to some quality of life for YEARS, is no comfort.  I would GLADLY give that up to have avoided this monstrous and corrupt profiteering at the expense of the surrounding community.  
Here are some photos and videos to support that they are unleashing toxic dust all over everyone. Enjoy the rattling, roaring, banging, clanging, beeping.  The windshield is my car the day after I washed it. That's what it's like almost every day.
IMAGINE LIVING WITH THIS 6 DAYS A WEEK ALL DAY FOR 2 YEARS.  THEN IT WILL BE AT LEAST  ANOTHER 1.5 YEARS OF VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION.  WHO APPROVED THIS?
