Re: the June 6 article “A sustainable solution to the housing crisis” and the June 4 article “Flood district buys up pricey homes in Foothills neighborhood.”
Quality of life issues with the QC development are brought about due to; 1. the proposed housing unit density, 2. the location of the project within Pima Wash , and 3. the lack of local road infrastructure which is already inadequate and unsafe for vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists. This is especially of concern on Rudasill Road where the road design has not been improved since it was first used in the 1940s.
Let us consider definitions of sustainable: 1. Meeting diverse needs of different communities to create a better quality of life and future for all, and 2. capable of being sustained, using a resource so that the resource is not depleted or permanently damaged.
