I have lived in Pacifica for many years. I have walked through the Quarry many, many times noticing the San Francisco Garter Snake, hearing the frogs, seeing the Red Foxes and recently on the top of the trail looking down at Linda Mar Beach I saw a coyote. I have recently talked to people from other areas and coutnries who also feel like the Quarry is a beautiful area.
And now to think that this could all change by a developer from Florida who wants to put 355 houses there. The thought of all the traffic sends shivers up my spine. I was also taught the lesson from my mother that you never take money from people because there are always strings attached, and so far Peebles has not proven to me that there is anything in his plan that I would want.
People of Pacifica, if we want to keep our serene, beautiful city without loads of traffic, construction, devastation of nature and wildlife, vote NO in November to 355 new houses in the Quarry and also check out the website www.pacificaquarry.org
