An Old Motocross Track Opposed by Newer Housing Community Which Was Built Right Next to the Race Course


I wrote an article recently about a motocross race track here in San Diego that was built in 1973 on an Indian Reservation.

In the last decade or so, a housing community has popped up next to the race track, I mean RIGHT next to the track, called the San Diego Country Estates. It is located in the town of Ramona, a small community in the hills of eastern San Diego County.

As I said, the track has been there since 1973, and now, over 3 decades later, some developer built a bunch of houses there hoping the buyers would be too ignorant to realize that the track might not be the best place to buy a house, unless, of course, you're a racer.

Well the developer was right... the houses sold. And now the residents are ready to sue to get the track removed.

I wonder if I should try to sue to get the damned pesky airport near my house removed? I mean, yeah, I knew it was there. Hell, I heard the planes! But now I don't want them there. Who do I complain to?
