‘You Have to Be From Here’
Re “Judge Is Asked to Block Marines’ Housing Project,” Dec. 23:
What the attorney for the Surfriders Foundation, Tom Davis, is trying to say with his building-in-Yosemite analogy is that places like Trestles are just as important to us coastal folk as geologically flashier places are to the general populace.
Trouble is, you have to be from here to understand that, and with non-locals making these decisions, it ends up with the mountains getting protected and us getting covered with beige stucco.
