Thursday night’s Humboldt County Planning Commission meeting was dominated by testimony regarding the proposed subdivision in Manila.
The project has attracted considerable opposition from nearby residents.
Developer Robert Riley touted his 17-unit subdivision project on the 3.8-acre site as the first sustainable green subdivision in the county.

people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks. watch the replay of them freaking out.they're so used to getting their way by bullying everyone that they can't deal with rational,fact based presentations.
