Crossroads Center At The Village - Buellton, CA

The "Crossroads Center At The Village" development is planned for go ahead.  With Buellton businesses struggling in existing commercial spaces, let alone the vacant commercial spaces, doesn't it make sense that these cities build, build, develop, build, develop?  The economy cannot support another "strip mall".  Buellton does not need another "mini mall".  The ones we have now are over 50% vacant.  City management does NOT care if the new businesses are successful.  All they care about is filling up the blank real estate.  Residents of Buellton need to think about whether or not they want to end up like some of their neighboring cities, with the increased crime and reduced quality of life because of the over-development.  City council members need to quit using every little piece of vacant land for development projects for the purpose of patting themselves on the back.  They call it "accomplishments and growth".   I call it a cancer.
