I would think that your recommendation would mean a lot more if you used your actual name and you’re someone that we all know and respect. (Deleted by editor)

Out with those who don’t hear the majority opinion over their own wants. You don’t run for political office to line your pockets using taxpayers money. Good luck to all candidates and people you had better do your homework.

VOCA vote is the 20th. Ballots are out. Of the 5 Board candidates, I’m voting for Sean Baguley. I recommend him highly. His background in finance is what the Board needs.

Stop my gag reflex but read threads from a local Village centric blog & couldn’t believe the animosity towards local wildlife. They want suggestions for noise bombs & gadgets to scare bobcats, mountain lions, coyotes & pheasants & doves & quail & how to kill scorpions & geckos. LEAVE NOW !! You moved to the DESERT not a golf resort. The golf resort is just a water painting on a dry desert, a phony picture of Sedona reality. We’re all about the nature, the wildlife & the red rocks. GO AWAY. You sicken us who embrace the meaning of Sedona and the Village and the high desert that surrounds us. They are but oasis’ in a desert but they are not meant to harbor desecrators of that desert. Go north or go south where you will find people more like you, the ones who want to create cities out of desert dust and ruin it with asphalt and smog. There’s room for you in Phoenix and Flagstaff but not here. We promise to repair the damage of your ignorance & selfishness.

Here’s email addresses to write to the Yavapai County supervisors. ALL the supervisors vote on the Sedona and VOC issues. Like me you may want to say no to further Element changes including a request to reverse its signage variances and lights, and no zoning or variances changes for Patel property or any property in VOC

That hotel was built on speculation. It’s not a good neighbor but a gross example of government run amok in my opinion. I suggest like many others that you add your opinion today and remind them you live here, pay taxes here, expect to be represented by your elected officials and not for them to be officials representing outside special interests. Up to you. You can have a voice or be one of the silent.

Thank you for alerting us and your support to our community.
But I’m not sure what it anything can be done at this point with all the site approvals done and construction ongoing. Sales of hotels is out of reach of the council and citizens. All we can do is ensue whomever buys it works with us not against us. We still are to be concerned about the pending outcome of the proposed Hilton. Where community influence worked at least to date . The flipping of properties, commercial and residential will go on regardless. We have a robust economy and growth nationally. Ever look at the value of your own property? It’s up. Real estate prices overall are up. People want to profit before interest rates or market changes effect there investment.

In the words of my youth, life is change is a cop out. What it’s about Alfie is lots of marijuana dumbing down Sedona. Lots of stupid politics and politicians. Lots of lack of personal responsibility and dumb and dumber run community in favor of not doing anything and blaming it on government corruptness or something or someone.

Look in a mirror. Now you see who is responsible. BTW Sedona isn’t in the category of ancient or even modern Rome. You live in an overpriced desert tourist town welcoming people that care less about preserving Sedona but take home a CVS sold cheap tourist CD to play on their TV. I know this because that’s what a foursome in my community did. They ate in a I-17 Camp Verde Mexican restaurant to get a break from traffic, drove thru 89A and said they wouldn’t go back because it was overrated. My boyfriend and I couldn’t stop laughing when we got home that evening. They managed to nail Sedona in one drive thru.

The whole country has changed. Sadly it also affected our beautiful home. Imagine the fall of ancient Rome. Population values and intelligence changes. I think you just have to look back on the way it was and be thankful you got to live here during that time. The Sedona we knew and loved is gone. Let go, move on.

Blessings !
