Development in Silverado Canyon
* Re “Pete: A Canyon’s Best Friend,” Sept. 19:
Please do not think that everyone in Silverado Canyon is anti-development.
My husband and I support sensible development in Silverado Canyon. The benefits, including increased real estate values and a boost in restaurant and market revenues, outweigh the bad.
As for potential traffic problems on Silverado Canyon Road, there are traffic and parking problems associated with existing homes used as “boarding houses” in Silverado Canyon.
Canyon locals [should understand that] we could get city sewer and gas out of this deal, along with road improvements! And I know someone will make a home for Pete.

* Your article on Pete the dog and the pending infringement of more development in Silverado Canyon is most timely.
The residents of this lovely area face a real fight in their quest to preserve the lifestyle and beauty of this canyon. Since Orange County is totally run by greedy developers and ineffective supervisors, [the residents] are wished the best in this endeavor.
