Lack of information hurts residents ... again
When will we learn?
This is in response to Bill Guill’s letter (May 11) about the fiasco in Quail Oaks. Remember the statement, “Buyer beware”? Well, it also applies to homeowners. This is not a Realtor issue, it’s a government issue.
Is this any different than what has happened with Painter Boulevard? Go into Kings Mill and look at the homes that sit 50 feet away from I-40 or whatever it is called now. It’s a disgrace.
No one can tell me that the state and local entities did not know that Painter Boulevard was going to be a super-speedway. When is the last time you traveled on a boulevard that was eight lanes wide and where traffic moved at speeds of up to 75 mph?
The state knew, local government knew, but it was kept from the general public for years. The same story with Quail Oaks, and next year it will be another development where houses will go down in value. Nothing changes.

Good point, and thanks for the smile.
