POP shares the views of Scottsdale Councilman

From the Scottsdale Activist this week by Scottsdale City Councilman Bob Littlefield:

"Another letter writer repeated the line from the developer playbook that "if we are to preserve our open space, some height and density is necessary." This is a false choice. Where is it written that the citizens of Scottsdale are obligated to accommodate unlimited population growth? The truth is that we have a right to decide how (and how much) our community is going to grow and to elect leaders who will implement the type and amount of growth that the citizens want. We do not have to choose between sprawl and overcrowding, we can (and should) reject both, in all parts of our community.
High density, highly subsidized projects that overtax our infrastructure, clog our roads, deplete our treasury, and diminish the quality of life for the current residents are not the answer for any part of Scottsdale, north, central or south."
