Especially the last few paragraphs. Crime rates have increased rather dramatically in the tri-city area of late... We have lived here for over 10 years, and all is not well in "paradise." Prescott's best kept "dirty little secret" is our serious water adequacy supply problem given the exponential growth being anticpated here. We are in a state of water mining (more out than going in from rain) because of the drought and skyrocketing consumption rate from the last 10 years of housing construction. The proposed 20 mile "band-aid solution" water pipeline from a nearby aquifer is currently estimated at $200 million and climbing fast. We cannot now afford to buy the 777 sq. ft cottage we bought in the early 1990's. Paradise is getting pricy and we will be a suburb of Phoenix soon if things continue at this pace. Good luck finding your retirement alternate! BTW: You can get a semi-pink burger at the Prescott Brewing Company on the north side of the Plaza square.

My take: it's time to go into business printing signs that say "Prescott Security Watch Team" & sell them for, say $10-15.
