I'm all for building upscale houses but what they've done to the houses on the end of Valley butte dr is criminal. They now have a built up a retaing wall right on their back property lines that is 10-18'  feet high, it's about level with there 2nd story bedroom windows. I also hear They've  also got a variance to go 3 story's high. McMansions right above regular homes. Nice job permit Dept land use people. 
Apartment people and homeowners on pool street with there backs to it are also looking at a retaining wall that's also 2 stories high. 
Guess I should be happy, it's not another apartment complex.
