Noel Spaid 2   The Torrey Pines Community has been my home since 1976. I have seen this area develop from a small, quiet beach community to a more metropolis type of landscape and political climate. It's important to me to strike a balance between acceptable expansion, reasonably comfortable restrictions, and adherence to a belief that communities have a right to self-determination.
