I am completely confused regarding the landfill issue for Portola neighborhood which is discussed many times on this forum. Some people in the forum are of the opinion that this issue is restricted to Portola neighborhood. I fail to understand that how can smell be restricted to one neighborhood when other neighborhoods are equidistant as Portola or so close from landfill.
Somebody on the forum gave below aerial distance from landfill:
Distance from Landfill in miles:
Portola Springs: 1.52 Mi
Lambert: 1.52 Mi
Pavilion Park (Rosemist & Sagewood): 1.75 Mi
Stonegate / Lafayette: 2.42 Mi
This clearly shows that Portola and Lambert aerial distance is exactly same from landfill and other neighborhoods are very close to landfill. In fact we all know that some parts of Portola is equidistant to Stonegate too. If for discussion sake we believe that foul smell is there, would it stop on Portola Parkway and not go to other neighborhoods--such as, Lambert, Pavillion Park, and Stonegate? So, why landfill is made an issue for Portola? What an I missing here?
