Even in these times when multimillion dollar homes sit vacant on Lake Pend Oreille, some folks think they can make it big on waterfront real estate—even waterfront that doesn't exist! Take Clagstone Meadows, for instance. This 12,000-acre "sudden city," as it's been called, would obliterate many acres of wetlands to enlarge small existing lakes on the property and create waterfront lots for custom homes and cottages. The proposed development is on Stimson Lumber Co. land just north of Kelso Lake and the Kootenai County line, in a woodsy marshland below Long Mountain/Susan Drumheller, Idaho Conservation League.

Question: Do you support the development of 'sudden cities' in North Idaho?
