Five Story Storage Containers Masquerading as Luxury Living: Lakeridge's Latest Horror Show
Reno Planning Commission meeting images, 2025.
Well, grab your popcorn and your protest signs, folks - the sequel nobody asked for just dropped at Lakeridge. And unlike most sequels, this one's actually more terrifying than the original.
Picture this: A five-story monstrosity that looks like someone played Tetris with storage containers and called it "luxury living." Local residents are calling it "jail house rock" - though that's honestly unfair to jails, which occasionally have better architectural design.
Some optimistic souls are hoping Mayor Schieve will ride in on her white horse to save the day, citing her 2021 "no" vote. (Bless their hearts - we love a good fairy tale too.)
But wait. There's a plot twist, residents aren’t going to silently allow this to move forward. The Lakeridge warriors aren't playing around this time. They've got a PAC, they've got funding, and unlike during COVID, they can actually gather without masks to plot their resistance.
Picon suggests they target newly-minted Councilmember Brandi Anderson. Sure, she's developer-funded like our dear Vice Mayor Taylor, but word on the street is she might actually have a backbone when it comes to saying "no" to deep pocket developers.
And look who's back for the finale - Margo Piscevich of "Save Our Reno" fame is rallying the troops faster than you can say "inappropriate development." She's getting the band of residents back together, and this time, they're not playing acoustic.
Piscevich blasted out asking residents to attend the Reno City Council meeting on January 22, 2025 at 6 PM at Reno City Hall.
Get ready, Reno - this fight's about to make the original Lakeridge battle look like a friendly game of tennis. Oh, and let’s remember, tennis is Reno Wannabe Mayor Councilmember Devon Reese’s beloved sport. Maybe on the 22nd he can tell us all about “double faults” after the Nevada Ethics Commission meeting regarding Reese next Thursday, January 16th.
