John:

    Just wondering: How does the development of 28 houses and common facilities 
on
43 undisturbed acres of desert save them from "the blade," whatever that means?
    If what you're saying is that the only alternative would be a more rapacious
development, you might want to say that in your announcement. It would keep a 
lot
of heads from being scratched.

Regards,
David Mandel, Sacramento (where we are proud to have build on a downtown parcel
that was previously very disturbed).
