We have lived in the Coachella Valley for 30+ years and we seriously object to the proposed surf
park project. With California and other states facing dire shortages of water, it seems
inconceivable that our precious local water would be tapped for such a frivolous use, not to
mention the large number of expensive homes and hotel that would also use and likely not
conserve our water.
We have converted our yard to a desert yard at our own expense. We have solar panels. And we
conserve water by doing only full loads of laundry, full dishwashers, and not flushing toilets each
time. We participate in Flex Alerts. Why are we being asked to "sacrifice" when outsiders come in
and freely use our resources for their profitable gain?
The money and land would be better used for local affordable housing and not as a part-time
playground for the wealthy.
