Letter: Where are buyers for Yuba Highlands?

A housing project of 5,100 houses, called Yuba Highlands, was approved by Yuba County supervisors by a 3-to-2 vote. The location is very near Beale Air Force Base and the Spenceville Wildlife Area.

It did not take long for a group of concerned citizens to get a referendum signed by the necessary number of registered voters to get it on the ballot for the Feb. 5 election.

Many factors will impact Yuba County citizens. One real concern is the housing market itself. How do they expect to sell 5,100 houses when there are so many houses already for sale in this county?

If the project goes through and goes "belly up," what would be the cost to taxpayers?

Please vote "No" on the Yuba Highlands project.
