Before approaching the media, Matt McGuire attempted to come to a satisfactory resolution with his builder for well over a year. Since his home is constructed on a post tension foundation, his situation, unlike other foundation problems, was not being addressed. (Please remember, cosmetic fixes -- such as paint and new sheet rock -- merely cover up serious structural defects. And, to make matters worse, results are only temporary.) How long do Matt's critics believe he should have waited for genuine structural repairs? Another year? Another two years? Until his warranty ran out? If not for Mr. McGuire's conscientious decision to expose R&B's immense construction problems, more innocent home buyers might have tragically joined his nightmare. And, if not for his efforts to force the developers into action, it's possible many Murietans would not be receiving the help they are now. Although Matt's family has been offered gracious support from compassionate neighbors, both North and South, I'm also sorry to say, since he went public, his family's been forced to endure some grievous verbal attacks, as well as physical threats, by a handful of angry residents. I want to assure you, Matt, that's not what Murieta's all about. I believe Mr.
McGuire's efforts to right a horrible wrong upon his family, and his
community, is nothing less than an act of bravery. So, thank you,
Matt, for all you've endured to preserve Murieta. I'm proud to call
you my neighbor. Add YOUR opinion | Back to the top BACK to letters index |
