Please contact me at jason.roberts@utsa.edu if there is anything you would like to discuss in more depth. I should have included my contact information previously, but it totally slipped my mind.<br /><br />JasonJasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08128767669766995387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5813702045456690661.post-40902018534159661542012-02-02T16:10:17.421-05:002012-02-02T16:10:17.421-05:00Great stuff JRob...thanks for dismantling the only...Great stuff JRob...thanks for dismantling the only city in all of Utah that I really liked!

A few days after the fire we were looking for survivors and came across an elderly gentleman (who didn't live in the neighborhoods that burned). He told us the history of Tahitian Village, a neighborhood built in the pines against the advice of all the descendents of original settlers, who knew that pines burn quickly and that every 75 years or so there's a massive wildfire. He told us he could remember sitting at the feet of his great-grandmother in the early 1900s and listening to her remark on the follies of building in an area so at risk for fire. Though it was wiped out in September, and common sense would dictate that it isn't safe to build a community among pine needles in a state with a drought problem, developers are still planning to rebuild the neighborhood. The pines are beautiful, and despite the dangers, people with money want to develop and build on an area unsuitable for habitation. Which, as you pointed out, seems to be endemic in North America.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098977837555221570noreply@blogger.com
