Keep land open and say ‘ahh’
Dear editor, Reading about the public meeting on Nov. 5 regarding the possible development of the Ghisletta property — where do we stop?
When Napa City limits backs up to American Canyon? It reminds me of the San Jose area and all of the cities bordering it, making it one big concrete mass.
I moved to Napa 30 years ago in my early 20s. I’ve seen so many changes and so much growth. Enough is enough! I’m sure there are plenty of home developments currently in Napa where future possible homeowners can find something to buy. I moved to Napa to enjoy its rural beauty, small-town atmosphere and low crime rate. Before anyone judges me about “having mine,” and not wanting others to “get theirs,” I’m not a homeowner. Unfortunately, I’m still a renter, but a very happy renter still.
We watch bigger and bigger hotels being built, watch the tourist industry flourish and can’t seem to stop them. Can we save some rural area, keeping the “Gateway to the Napa Valley” in its natural beauty, something that makes all of us, including the tourists, say “Ahh ...” when entering our beautiful valley?
