If Quay Valley Ranch is built, would YOU move to it?

[chuenng]

I think any development that seeks to be sustainable is admirable - the solar and water conservation features are something that should be more widely utilized among all developers. Whether Quay Valley will be a success or not, who knows? Whether it will be self-contained, as opposed to becoming another bedroom community is beyond anyone's guess. However, the good planning efforts ought to be applauded. Visionary, well-intentioned developers don't come by very often - especially those who would fork over a large sum of money upfront for planning efforts.

And I sure hope all those people living in the hottest region of Quay Valley don't all get sick from the heat, cause then that city will have a bad un-employment rate.

And, do we need to grow in the central valley more? what about the mountains?

and with that city being built it will enable kings city to become one of the 28 largest counties in the state.

i'm not for this project right now, being that i see a down in population for cities in california...

Yeah your right, Hanford grew from 40,000 in 2001 to 52,000 in 2008, its been growing pretty fast. Im also concerned with the quality of life in Hanford, known as the regional hub of the county, Quay Valley would probably take away that title and many people would start moving to the new city. Many disagree with this project becuase urban sprawl and the potential of being a large city, but the central valley is one of the fastest growing areas in the state and this country, and we need more housing for the next housing boom. Also unemployment is widely seen in the valley but if quay valley is approved it will attract many businesses which would never eye the central valley before. If this project is ever approved Kings County will jump in popularity, become more known in the state, become one of the most populous counties in the state, fastest growing,more tax revenue, change the political and financial standards, but also change the pace of life in this county, which can be a bad or good thing.

That's whats ironic about California...People will say we need more Homes and Jobs to accomodate our Population Growth,but then you'll hear complaints of the Sprawl,Traffic,Crowds,The Environment,Etc

yeah very ironic....for something good to happen, something bad will also. So we got to balance the negative with the positive.

[Caliguy2007]

I truly hope this project gets approval or else it will end up being built in probably Arizona or Nevada.

Yup with Growth it's a Good/Bad Situation depending on how you look at it,but I see more Positive than Negative coming from this project.
