I couldn't agree with Ms. Whitaker more on her dislike of increasing building height limits in Sandpoint. Sandpoint is a charming, historic and fun town to live in and to visit. What happens to the tourism base if developers have their way and the town becomes a melange of non-descript glass boxes towering over the downtown streets? What happens to the souls of the residents when the human scale of buildings disappears along with the beauty of the surrounding lake and mountain views?
