Mayor to get rid of Roots
Mayor Robert McGarvey of Rancho Cordova to displace founders and affordable housing to enrich tax base with new high priced living. His plan is to blight homes and nickel and dime the homeowners that help found the city out. It’s a case of an over zealous mayor trying to make a city he wants and not what the residents want or need. It’s a common theme used to get imminent domain of people affordable housing and replace it with high priced high tax based housing discarding the historic homes and business that founded the city. The idea of living in the country only to have a city move in on you is a common problem. Along with the city come nose and air pollution, higher prices and the loss of green areas. It’s a step backward as far as concerns health is for people. With more noise the immune systems of humans are compromised. With more traffic there is more “green house gases” and air pollution. McGarvey is on the board of directors for Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District. Some people call it progress but what about the people who wanted to live in the country and didn’t want these entire new problem. The mayor admitted that he wanted to drive land prices higher, which increases the taxes that the city can collect. I’m sure if it were looked into you’d find that the mayor is connected to land developers and realtor's all who live for greed and their god money.
