Hello everyone. I’m new to the site and wanted to comment and ask what everyone thought about the Santee community being developed by Pardee.

We had been looking at the new communities out in Santee before we relocated out of state. The fact that a single story floorplan was offered seemed appealing to us. It didn’t hurt that the homes were well done. The one big concern we had — which ultimately was the deal breaker — was the Sycamore landfill being located right next door just over the hill to the west.

Having experienced the stench near the Miramar Landfill while searching in Tierrasanta and reading about the methane issues in Otay, my initial thoughts are that it could be a deal breaker to some.

Do others share the same long term environmental concerns regarding contamination and other air quality nuisances of being physically next door to a landfill?
