I live around the corner less than a mile away from this site. There was no indication that anything was being built here, other than the Oppose signs. The entire process stinks of back-slapping, good ol' boy underhandedness.
This whole development looks like it took a page from the development cookbook of the Irvine Company - squeeze as many overpriced homes onto tiny lots as possible. Disregard community input or social or environmental impact in the quest to maximize profits. The difference is Irvine is one of the most densely populated areas in SoCal and needs housing. Joshua Tree isn't and does not have the jobs or infrastructure to support it. This development will do nothing to help affordable housing, as the price mentioned for the proposed homes is $700K, almost double the $364K average home price in the area.
Joshua Tree isn't a city with police, a municipal sewer system, or maintained streets; it's a well-loved, rural area that's enjoyed my millions yearly.
Let's keep Joshua Tree Joshua Tree and not let it become another gated, HOA community in SoCal. After all, if we wanted or needed another densely populated, gated community with an HOA in Southern California, we wouldn't live in Joshua Tree.
David supported: Oppose the Destructive Development of Lovemore RanchThis proposed development reeks. Grotesque prefab homes that line the pockets of investors, development crafted for a population that doesn't actually live there (yet!), impingement on one of the most environmentally diverse landscapes in the world, all at no behest of anyone living there. These housing development plans run foul no matter what part of California they are in, and to hear them trying to come for a place with as many protected species as Joshua Tree does would be disheartening if it were not so angering. These developers bear no respect for the environment and people around them, they want money not matter the destruction, and will actively fill this beautiful place with some of the most unaffordable, least attractive architectural constructs imaginable in the process. This proposed development cannot stand.
Katherine supported: Oppose the Destructive Development of Lovemore RanchThis area is already congested enough with tourist traffic. There are too many homes too close together in a small area. This is a rural area and a National Park community where homes are more spread out with acreage. Our resources are limited and we have no sewage system to process the waste a congested housing development like this would produce. Package plants smell and leech into the ground at an alarming rate, contaminating nearby wells. This development needs to be restructured to be less dense.
Mary supported: Oppose the Destructive Development of Lovemore RanchAs an induced who lives near the proposed Lovemore project I am deeply concerned that is project will not only impact serious traffic issues already in a dangerous road, but impact others via light pollution, and noise. Additional 64 houses proposed at high prices which already there are numerous housing in the desert which are not selling we will see many of these houses sitting empty. Several other serious issues this poses is water usage in an already parched desert and a septic issue. This is also a wildlife corridor and this project will interfere with the annual tortoise migration . Overall I am opposed to this project and feel that the individuals involved in it are only out to make a quick buck with no concern to the community, the wildlife, our night skies, and overall our right to a safe and peaceful existence
Thank You, Shirley Perl
shelley supported: Oppose the Destructive Development of Lovemore RanchI moved to Joshua Tree because it is one of the last affordable areas in California that is still technically civilization, and to escape the wasteful, soulless, suburban architecture of coastal California… only to find it is being brought here under our noses!! Do NOT let this oversized, destructive overdevelopment anywhere near our charming, rural burgh!! FFS!!!
RYAN supported: Oppose the Destructive Development of Lovemore RanchThe desert is a very fragile environment and this project would cause irreparable harm to the area and the people here. Water and electricity is always a challenge and with the limited resources here this project is irresponsible.
Guadalupe supported: Oppose the Destructive Development of Lovemore RanchMy name is Scott Ward, and while I’ve moved to the South East some of my most morale outdoor experiences come from my time in the Mission Mountains, the Cabinet Yak, and the Selway Bitteroot while living in Alree. I now have grandchildren that I look to the day when I can return with them to share adventures that I was privileged to have had. Please leave this critical stronghold for keystone species, including the next generation. Thank you
scott supported: Stop Black Ram: Protect Vital Resources and Endangered WildlifeI am not anti-timber harvesting. What I am against is the "plunder & pillage" approach of logging critical watershed and ecosystems which should be basically left alone for the long-term benefit they provide.
