The town has spoken! We do not want the bluffs to have an eyesore built destroying the heart and soul of our town. Pouring tons of concrete and thousands of pounds of dirt and constructing buildings on our sacred land is unacceptable. The builder was trying to appease us at the meeting by saying he lived in Ventura and knows this area was a ridiculous statement. It doesn’t matter where you are from – disrespecting the wishes of concerned residents is selfish and greedy. The residents of Carpinteria have nothing to gain from this developer. He is creating more trash, adding to traffic, using our water resources, blocking views, creating more noise, disturbing and displacing wildlife and trees and taking away tranquility.

It doesn’t matter what kind of wood you use or what lights are put up – it’s still going to negatively impact the community’s heart and soul! Listen to what the people of this town want.
