Letters to the Editor: You don't have to be conservative to side with Huntington Beach on housing (via latimesopinion )
I can completely empathize with Huntington Beach’s stance on opposing the state‘s drive to force communities to overdevelop and devalue their social and natural environments. In South Pasadena, we have also struggled to see the logic and fairness in the state’s housing directive.
Frankly, I am opposed to the entire state housing push as government overreach, but if not reversed, at least make it fair for cities that are already built out.Did the “red wave” surge in Huntington Beach because of four City Council members united against both clean energy and more housing? Or are they actually doing what the residents want?, and the new council majority voted to do? There does not seem to be a poll on any of these questions.
I for one reject their stands against what I see as the common good, but the party they represent seems to apply the common good to large corporations and big money.I applaud Huntington Beach for defending its quality of life. I wish Los Angeles would defend its residents against this profit-driven invasion of our peaceful communities.
