DeveloperAlert - Keeping You Informed

We must change the tide in order to ensure a future of communities and cities that people can care about. The Building Industry Association has launched a massive campaign of rhetoric informing you how they help communities by building parks and infrastructure that is needed and while these things are needed, they do not necessarily altruistically build them for the community. Massive development in the 80's left the city with a huge financial burden. 1000s of new developments with no infrastructure cost the city millions to build new schools, new streets, new parks, etc. The ad campaign boasts about all these wonderful amenities that they provide to the new communities they build, when for all intensive purposes they are legally required to provide them. Additional campaign rhetoric blames the high cost of housing on all the "red tape" they have to contend with like laying an infrastructure and abiding by certain environmental regulations. They are currently lobbying city council to reduce the amount of park space they are required to build by including Balboa Park in their calculations.

It seems suspicious that none of this is ever printed in the press and it seems suspicious that they are mentioned so often along with the Union Tribune. What you do hear about them in the press, is alot of complaining from them about how hard all the regulations are. They never mention the millions of dollars they make every year. I encourage you to closely examine all the events the industry sponsors here and all the apparent alliances they have built.

Examine the website and the rhetoric for yourself...

OURWRECKLESSFUTURE

Stop the destruction and wreckless development of our neighborhoods
	These are all the photos you won't see on the BIA website. But this is what our future is looking more like everyday

	No architectural style, no attention to scale or proportion, no attention to window details, stucco finishes, no site analysis, no consideration of creating a community. Miles and miles of cmu walls. This is your future. This is what developers are building again, and again, and again...because you are letting them.

	Planners will tell you that certain rules have been set up to avoid bad design...you be the judge.
