The argument that Sparks needs new development to pay for the services needed for the existing development sounds like a Ponzi scheme – and also a recipe for LA-style urban sprawl.
I also love how the developer is the one talking about it. Good one dude – who is really going to make the money off our public land. I am all for growth, but if we are not careful, we will be like a lot of areas where we have to ride an hour or two just to find some off-road trails.
