Doug Teeter:
I just learned that the board of supervisors voted recently to allow dry camping on
empty lots for another full year. I have no idea what caused this betrayal of law
abiding, tax paying, residents of Lower Pines, but this one will be remembered come
election time. Not being a resident of Lower Pines, you don't know firsthand what
we've been going through the past two years with little or no concern from the
county. I personally don't have a problem with lot owners living on their property
while going through the process of rebuilding their homes.Most of these people are
responsible and considerate of those living in their proximity. My problem is with the
squatters who brazenly move onto a property, with or without owner consent, and set
up a cluster of shoddy hovels with vehicles and other junk sitting everywhere, not to
mention basic sanitation. These people care nothing about how they are affecting the
lives of people living nearby. Loud music late at night, hooting and hollering, riding
ATV's through the streets late at night. The list goes on and on. When complaints
are lodged with the county, they are met with a litany of excuses as to why you can't
do anything about it. Time and again, the squatters win, the residents lose. Never
have I felt so abandoned by my local authorities.
You know better than I do how the Camp Fire affected the lives of everyone who
experienced it. Life has not been the same since it happened. Its been a tough go
physically and psychologically and the last thing we need in our midst are
inconsiderate trespassers squatting on land that doesn't even belong to them. To
allow this to continue is grossly unfair both to your constituents, and to people
considering Lower Pines as a place to rebuild or buy a home to be part of its rebirth.
A growing number of Lower Pines homeowners are considering organizing and
collectively taking this issue to higher authorities to seek some relief. You need to be
aware of that.
If you have an interest in seeing an example of what I'm talking about, take some time
and drive down South Park and just past Glendale on your right, look to your left, and
ask yourself, would you enjoy life as much having to live in proximity of this mess?
Just put yourself in our shoes and then think of the ramifications of the vote you just
participated in. You are a big disappointment, Doug.
In closing, I do not expect a response to this e-mail because I never receive
acknowledgement on anything I send to your office.
