Riding my bicycle one Saturday up on More Mesa, I found myself wondering if anyone is actively trying to save this place. I know it’s for sale and I also know it’s beloved by the community. It later occurred to me, while pausing under the shade of a eucalyptus that the people who have stepped in to save these types of places in the past have most likely been adults. Possibly in their thirties. As someone who fits this broad demographic, I began to consider if there was anything I could do.
I don’t want to give the impression that I’m about to present some novel, grand plan to save More Mesa. I’m not. I think, given my time and abilities, I’d rather try and simply elevate the idea of preserving this beautiful place within our city. To that end, I submit a mantra: Less Is More on More Mesa.
Fifty million dollars. That’s the amount of U.S. dollars the mysterious owners of More Mesa currently want. I do not have that much money. Do you? If so, is buying More Mesa the best use of such an obscene sum? I’m honestly not sure.
