The PVNU broken record continues:
Town: "We're studying fire safety"
PVNU: "That's not good enough, you need to study fire egress because new housing development in town will make us unsafe"
Town: "OK, here's a professional study of fire egress by experts"
PVNU "That's not good enough, you also need to study earthquakes and terrorist attacks [seriously??] because new housing development in town will make us unsafe".
I believe (prove me wrong) that PVNU only exists to block any and all new housing in PV, and they'll keep throwing every argument they can at the wall until they win.
I am so tired of this...

If both Alpine and Portola Roads are blocked there need to be ways up Windy Hill, for example, through Fogarty Winery, through Pony Tracks Ranch to Page Mill Road. Even though flames move uphill, going up maybe the only way out could be uphill.
