Be sure to closely examine the LARGE version of this picture. It is hard to believe this ever was permitted.

Been waiting for others to see what should not be there. 1. banks are bare , nothing to curb erosion from the top (the bottom clearly show to be rock). Those stairways won't last after very heavy snowfall/rainfall unless they had been deep-drilled and anchored. 2. Houses too close to the waterfront (should be 100 or more feet!) 3. Bare gulleys (in west they're referred to as gulches), no native plants to control erosion 4. Those pipes, are they storm-drain only? 5. Some lots are way too de-forested, loss of habitat for wildlife. in case of Vine Valley, soil pollution is clearly visible from soil erosion. Speaking of #2 Just like somebody said about the idiotic Californians who insist on building too close to shoreline, as well as those idiotic Utahns who insist on building big and fancy way high above cityline of Salt Lake City, sitting on very sandy ground (the massive South Mountain development is on sand spit and already legal troubles for the developers coming from those who live on solid and rock ground below). (courtesy of record high-moisture snowfall and rainfall lately.) David Samuelsen Bill Hecht wrote: > Be sure to closely examine the LARGE version of this picture.
