Have we forgotten the lessons from the Cherry Hills landslide of August 3, 1999? Please follow this link:

I cannot understand why something like the issue of "predisposing factors" to landslides and death of
the most valuable assets of a nation which are its people, is not a life-and-death question in this supposed-to-be strong republic. As a taxpayer and stakeholder of this country's vision of a conserved and protected environment, I add my stentorian call to all levels of our government to seriously look into the issues raised by the residents of the Ma-a Subdivisions.
The lessons of Cherry Hill stared us in the face in 1999. How can the offices concerned with responsible subdivision development miss the Cherry Hills lessons?
