There is too much at stake in values, both from an individual homeowners internal quality standpoint as well as this collective RMA community quality and values, to let them continue and go unchallenged. The new highway homes with the Berlin Wall are a prime example of that greed and what is in store, both for those future home buyers and this entire community, if all six new multi-residential developers now operating in the entire PUD get their way with their scorched-earth policy. It concerns us that certain of our elected representatives on the RMA/CSD boards and our paid GMs have consistently sided with those very developers and their builders, all in favor of adding whatever dwelling units here to enhance revenues with a rapid full build-out. We have witnessed recent glowing endorsements of those greedy developers and builders and their services from certain of these very officials. They want to forget about the vision for this unique community from the onset by PTF, cemented into county ordinances for its development, and what we bought into, and how those foxes in the hen coop have radically altered that vision and are now violating those same standards they imposed. Rest assured, RMDCCC is fully behind you on your cause, which indeed impacts us all, North and South. We must and will preserve Murieta by not allowing new developers to control our values and destiny. We are the majority landowners in this 30-year-old community and have every right to self-determination. Thanks

We
would like to address a couple of things in the article. First in
reference to the following quote: Another point we would like to address is the following quote: "The Telford-McGuire home is not one of the 17 homes on Furtado's list. It is covered by a separate homebuilder's warranty, Furtado said, because it has a different kind of foundation. 'If there's any structural deficiencies, then the warranty company is responsible for that,'" Furtado said. 'We had them come out, they inspected it, and they basically wrote a report saying they did not feel the house had any structural deficiencies, that it was strictly cosmetic and caused by minor settling.'" This is a complete fabrication of the truth. 2-10 warrantee company did send out a structural engineer. Their engineer agreed with Youngdahl's assessment; however this warrantee company will only cover the claim if the home is "Unsafe, unsanitary, or otherwise unlivable" Since our walls are not falling down they will not cover the claim. The warrantee company never stated that our issues were strictly cosmetic or that it is caused by minor settling. Since we have a post tension foundation we are not included in the 17 homes already acknowledged by Reynen & Bardis. How many other post-tension homes have these issues and are not being acknowledged by Reynen and Bardis? We have spoken to several; we think this issue is greater than Reynen & Bardis cares to admit. In the article Furtado is quoted in saying "... Out here, because other people have a bigger problem, a lot of people see normal cracking and think, oh, my God, it's happening to me, and it's not," Furtado said. "It's just normal settlement and you can't confuse the two issues. You have to take them on a case-by-case basis." While we agree there may be some people who overreact to cracking, in our case we do not feel as if our children being able to put their fingers into the cracks falls under the umbrella of "normal cracking" due to "normal settlement." If
anyone is interested in talking with us further, especially all of
the other homeowners with issues, please call us at 4080 or e-mail
