Although I speak only for myself, I do believe there are others living in Sedona who share your opinion. And, yes, you come across loud and clear.

It’s becoming increasingly questionable whether or not any of us in Sedona could afford to live in your obviously preferred locations based on the decline of property values here, and I am not being facetious. The city appears to be hell-bent to “purchase” cheap property to provide housing for those who cannot afford to live here whether you want to or not. Do you relate? They’ve not a clue about reality (IMO).

Before Sedona incorporated I’d never have entertained such thoughts . . . well . . . probably not.

Having lived in California prior to moving to Sedona many years ago I totally relate to your comment about “uncluttered” commuting. And when I hear the whining about a ten minute delay in Sedona? Ha.

Thanks much for your comment.

Beam ’em up Scottie, time to clue ’em. Time to Move on, richie riches, and find a REAL purpose. Who knew the world could change without you rich folks helping build another housing Titanic?! we don’t want to live in sedona!

yea here’s another thing; i came from cali where it takes one hr to go a couple of miles to work because of traffic. How’s commuting at 75 mph from cottonwood with no cars around equate to a commute?! Hot Damn, I gotta NOT sit in traffic for twenty minutes or pay outrageous Sedona city taxes?!

right…Let me think it over. Let’s see how this plays out….I get to live in cornville, rimrock, camp verde, cottonwood or page springs where the living is better, the gasoline and taxes are lower, and the desert views the same? Sedona it’s time you faced it. We locals prefer you kiss up to the tourists. Ok now? Understand yet? Let’s say it clear because you folks are a foot from the grave and hard of hearing. Here it is again…We don’t really like you and we say so behind your backs and ok, a few will say it to your faces. We’ll work for your money but don’t worry about us wanting to live in Sedona because where we live is better than where you live. You impress yourselves. You don’t impress us much. We clear?!

Agenda Item 3.a. Discussion/possible action regarding possible “Housing Development Areas” for land acquisition.

Posted is a Proposed Housing Development Areas Map, but it’s not all that legible.

P.S. The Housing Commission met last night and discussed their joint meeting with the City Council. I didn’t attend.
