Subject: ARC Monday Agenda
I am opposed to the 71 Palomar project on numerous grounds.
Tearing out perfectly good terrain to build crappy apartments
is a crime, if we must have such junk in our town then at least it
ought to be done on raw ground.
And if we must have this sort of 'progress' at least make it less
obnoxious than the usual Nazi type block bunkers that
developers love to build.
Your name implies some sort of sensitivity to aesthetic design
yet over the 45 years I have lived here what is allowed, often in
charming neighborhoods, is the sort of stuff one expects to see
in the San Fernando Valley or Bakersfield.
Is that the best you can do?
Imposing/allowing this sort of development in that
neighborhood strikes me as against city policy in maintaining
quality neighborhoods. My own neighborhood has been degraded
by ugly stucco monsters totally out of character with existing
homes, and recently a grossly overpriced housing tract has
sprung up to further a loss of quality of life and increased
traf f ic.
