Ah - who am I kidding? That's not ocean noise - it's freeway noise! I'm standing at the entrance to the "Sea Pines" subdivision, right
behind the GMC Truck Center. (And I-84 is about a block in the other direction. At least the Truck Center closes down in the evening; I-84 is going 24/7.)(I'm not an expert on trees - is that one in the photo a "sea pine"? I always thought "sea pines" looked more like what you see at Big Sur, California... or perhaps Heceta Head, Oregon.)
I first took note of the problem about the time the "Sea Pines" sign went up, 20 years or so ago.
Developers are apparently free to name their subdivisions anything they want to! And do they ever take liberties!
Where is "truth in advertising"? Why isn't the Attorney General all over this?!?
There are glaring examples all over the Boise area - I hope to expose some of them.
Let's take another journey.
Thoreau abandoned the hustle and bustle of urban life, settling at his beloved Walden Pond.
There, he could commune with nature. Enjoy a more relaxed pace. Get in touch with his more sensitive side.Ah, Walden. Birds a-twitter in the trees. The occasional bass, disturbing the serene surface of the lake. The soothing buzz of cicadas and crickets. Summertime... and the livin' is easy.
Back to reality. Boise's "Walden Pond," just off Cloverdale Road, offers a slightly different ambiance. Do you suppose the "victims," who bought lots in "Walden Pond," did so sight-unseen?
Look at the exquisitely-placed 3-car
garages! Notice how the streets aren't straight, but gently winding... after all, you don't find straight lines in Nature, and we're getting back to nature! I bet the residents of "Walden Pond" put on their Birkenstocks over the weekend, and have a Thoreau experience as they fire up the charcoal in the back yard, huh?
