Poor decision as it will result in farmers/ranchers paying much more in taxes with their minimal population base. The potential money from the County will be minimal and insufficient to support their governing needs and expenses.

Yoleen Faerber

This seems to be one man's project. Are the residents forming their own fire district or even meeting as a community, things that unincorporated communities do? Why change the name to something so bland? Sounds like he wants to build a waterless subdivision.

Kimmy Wasatch

Much more expenses for the ranchers, farmers. Very destructive to the land and wildlife. In time just another liberal city with crime and homeless.

Gabe West

The residents will pay more in taxes

Safe parking programs have a proven track record of successfully taking people from being homeless into having a place of their own. Safe parking programs cut down on costs to cities for ambulance calls, police calls, visits to emergency rooms and mental health crises that costs taxpayers money.

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?

People should not have to put up with annoying intrusive lights that inconsiderate neighbors install
