I noticed that a townhall meeting in Tinicum made it into the Philly Inquirer the other day, hosted by a group called Eco Bucks. The topic concerned a proposed 1,400 residences a developer wants to construct in the township. As of the 2000 census, Tinicum had a population of about 4,000. Sadly, this is nothing new for Bucks County.
We come from a place that is naturally beautiful; a rare sight amidst the suburban sprawl that has engulfed so many of our neighboring townships. We've all seen what's happened to Central and South Bucks. Unrestricted development is probably the greatest threat to our home, and I urge everyone to donate to Eco Bucks legal defense fund. I know many of you are far from your homes now, but think back to the fields and forests we grew up with. What would it be like if they were destroyed for nothing more than the profit of another housing developer? These companies are not building communities. They are building tract housing as inexpensively as possible, with no regard for the existing way of life in rural Bucks County. This is land worth preserving.
