Borrego: build a home, lose a farm
You make several good points, but we do have two grocery stores in town. Also, we have been enjoying a lot of improvements around town, for instance, the really beautiful Art Institute right on Christmas Circle, as well as the lovely improvements in landscaping (yes, basically xeriscaping) up and down Palm Canyon Drive. I've lived here ten years and absolutely love this town. There is so much art, music, a performing arts center, poetry groups, classes, and the people are so accepting and tolerant. We have a deep love of nature, and especially the peace and quiet of our gorgeous desert. A mere 45 minutes away you are in the beauty of the mountains. Please don't sell us short....this is a rare and exquisite little town where people truly care about each other and our environment. I wouldn't live anywhere else. And, yes, we have a terrible water situation, most of which would be solved by fallowing the ill-conceived farms, built when the myth of plentiful resources was going strong. But, we all feel wealthy, living in such a place.— November 26, 2014 2:50 p.m.
Borrego: build a home, lose a farm
Just to clarify: our summer population is about 3,500. From November to April or May we have about 12,000 residents.— November 26, 2014 2:42 p.m.
