Who Do Spokespersons for Land Annexations Represent?
The article “Unincorporated Areas Contemplate City Life” (Nov. 8) is the latest in a series that appear to cast realtor Nancy Howell in the role of a spokesperson for the town of Sunset Beach.
As a past president of the Sunset Beach Community Assn., past chairman of the Sunset Beach LCP Review Board and a concerned citizen, I’d like to point out that Ms. Howell (does not) speak for Sunset Beach.
The fact that a non-resident realtor renting a storefront on PCH would favor annexation to Huntington Beach is hardly remarkable. Perhaps she envisions the same unregulated high-density growth which characterizes PCH in Huntington Beach as a model for our town.
While manipulating the media isn’t a capital crime, the issues being discussed deserve a far more thoughtful analysis than has been provided. I hope the legitimate leaders of our community will begin to step forward and meet this challenge head on, before Nancy Howell’s vision for Sunset Beach becomes our sad reality.
