Awhile back we talked about the dilemma in Lake Montezuma. Private developers have robbed the community there of its heart and soul by shuttering the Ranch House and letting the golf course die. Alas, its entirely within their private property rights to do what they did. Legal? Yes. Morally wrong and unethical? You betcha. These developers are poster children for why a lot of Arizonans have such a low opinion of land developers. It's taken quite some time but the local citizens seem to be rising up about the matter. Theirs odds of rescuing the property are slim and none and Slim just town, as the saying goes. But at least they are TRYING to do something. That's better than sitting at home wringing their hands and raising a fruitless hue and cry.
If anything, their mere efforts to organize are providing a glimmer of hope (even if hope is a mirage) and such glimmers have a huge psychological impact on the collective community psyche. That's a good thing, it's like therapy---almost--and it surely doesn't cost much real cash to organize and talk big talk. We wish them well, they surely have a huge windmill to tilt against!
