The lights in this town, from my perspective, is that they are programmed to turn red just before you get thereI just wish they fixed the traffic lights in Havasu. I hit every one red on Tuesday from the mall to city hall
I can actually drive around easier in my area of San Diego than Havasu. The freeway having lights on it does not help.The lights in this town, from my perspective, is that they are programmed to turn red just before you get there
I swear, there are times I can't catch a break
The fix is in!
buncha politicians getting wet right now thinking about how they are gonna get greased up a local council seat in our town goes for about $300k, the developers install these puppets all over the place. 
This. I learned this first hand building a house on 20 acres in California. Infrastructure alone was 6 figures.
It’s a lot easier to find someone to drop 20 million on something than it is to find someone to drop 100 millio…Price Lots in the Riviera or foothills..
Let’s hope. We both will be out of the Islander and all the dust the construction causes
God I hope not…
Don’t question the expert
A good watch dog group of citizens will be able to keep this thing in check and avoid a 10 story low income (subsidized project) from being built. Pay attention local havasu residents, you want that resort, not the watts towers
Everything about the Island except the OG structures screams Orange County east. 3k+ sqft homes 8' apart, 12 foot deep backyards surrounded by beautiful block wall views and security gates into your hood with zero parking.
This is the last thing Havasu needs IMO. The reason Havasu is what it is is because most people that go there are boaters, and most own a house there and don't rent. The more condos and resorts you build, the more the boatless riff raff comes to rent a room for a few nights and jack off in the channel.
I tend to disagree on that sir. In my circle of friends (besides the ones I know here who mostly own homes there), only 1 owns a house there. Its less than you think, because you probably own a house there
What’s the maximum building height on the island? I’d wager that’s the new owners will be paying the mordida to get that limit raised if it’s not higher than 36’
Is there currently entitlement in place on this property? A good watch dog group of citizens will be able to keep this thing in check and avoid a 10 story low income (subsidized project) from being built. Pay attention local havasu residents, you want that resort, not the watts towers
No I hear ya! I know plenty of boaters like that as well. If they build a ton of storage (either onsite or offsite) and made renting a unit for a few months a prerequisite of renting a resort room, then that would solve 90% of the problems.I tend to disagree on that sir. In my circle of friends (besides the ones I know here who mostly own homes there), only 1 owns a house there. Its less than you think, because you probably own a house there
I have been going to the lake for 25 years. We all keep our stuff in storage. Hence why there is a 1 year waiting list for a storage unit.
Turn the sprinklers back on, dammit!
Better than high density housing. Where will all the rabbits, bobcats and 'yotes go?
The relationship to home ownership isn't necessarily valid but the other part pretty much is.I tend to disagree on that sir. In my circle of friends (besides the ones I know here who mostly own homes there), only 1 owns a house there. Its less than you think, because you probably own a house there

Just think how hard you would have to work today if the 19th amendment had never passed.
I don't know if they have a constitution to amend.
You guys are gonna have to start taking pictures and video of the meth heads wandering aimlessly through town. I’m not saying there are no substance-abuse issues within the local community but the way some of you talk to you think this is San Francisco or Skid Row.So if was this developer here is what I would do.
1. I’d go pay off the local council and get the building height raised as high as possible (giraffe pussy high). Put all there kids through college or rehab, whatever there deal is.
2. I’d fire up an aviation service out if John Wayne and Santa Monica if the real money people would buy in, and run commuter flights out to havasu and also offer helo drop from airport to the island.
3. Put in storage racks and offer white glove service through that facility, arrive and drive program with maintenance and all bullshit taken care of.
4. Five or ten story luxury resort without the ability to rent out the units to the poor via an in-house service.
Go fucking big
What’s gonna happen? Some low income subsidized development that will allow methicans to take up residents on the island and their progeny to infect that town with a substance abuse problem like nothing ever before seen in the area.
“Go be poor someplace else”

Methicans come with low income housing, unfortunately poverty sucks.You guys are gonna have to start taking pictures and video of the meth heads wandering aimlessly through town. I’m not saying there are no substance-abuse issues within the local community but the way some of you talk to you think this is San Francisco or Skid Row.
I’ll bet it would be less red tape to go 50 story high rise than wade through that
I'm guessing that payoff would have to include the Army Corp of Engineers, and AZ Game and Fish, not just Havasu officials.
Smartest thing Ive read and I wouldnt doubt it one bit!!!!!!!! Lets hope the city has enough fortitude to reject anything like that, low income housing I mean. There are 2 on the council that I wont mention their names but 2 WIOMEN who would favor low income housing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Often? Always...
