"I firmly believe, … that this is the chosen spot of all this earth as far as Nature is concerned." - Luther Burbank What happened to our beautiful town? Is it happening to yours too?

Chorus:
Santa Rosa- where did you go?
Santa Rosa-where is the town we used to know?
There’s too many people movin' to this place.
Too many people--not enough open space.

The developers and the city council came up with a plan.
to build wherever possible as quickly as they can.
If they continue building at the pace they’re goin’ today
In a few more years we will become another San Jose’
Well I been here over thirty years and I never thought there’d be
Mc Mansions on our hilltops as far as you can see.

Chorus

If you want to kill your downtown just do like we do.
Put in some big box stores nearby and a mall or two.
Then put in parking meters in front of every store
Then do a study to see why folks don’t come to shop no more
All these homeless people--you see 'em everywhere
They’re the only ones still hangin' out
downtown at Courthouse Square

Chorus
