<div><p>We Carpinterians cannot allow the approval of the 191-unit Farm Project development on our bluffs. If this project goes forward using the Builders Remedy application process, the small-town character of Carpinteria will be lost forever to suburban sprawl.</p><p>Even though Builders Remedy was designed to facilitate low-income housing, this project, in reality, does not. Plans for the development include dozens of $5-$10 million homes, advertising prime real estate in a beach community. This is not “affordable,” and could not viably remain affordable in the future. This proposal would require new infrastructure, parking and the amenities necessary for a brand-new development pocket. It would essentially create luxury sprawl that would overwhelm the adjacent Bluffs Nature Preserve and seal rookery. The character of our small town and its small sandy footprint would disappear.</p><p>Meanwhile, the city’s existing housing element identifies 20 better locations for housing solutions. In fact, better locations already exist within Carpinteria’s current development footprint! The Carpinteria Bluffs is the wrong place for this proposal.</p><p>We have the ability to plan our town’s direction — let’s think proactively and create a footprint that makes sense for our community’s current needs as well as future generations. Now is the time to make your voices heard, carpinteriabluffs.org/bluffs-watch/.</p></div>
