Greig Smith & Zuma Dogg Agree, Once Again: NO ON LAS LOMAS!
As soon as I say something good about CM Smith, it almost does him more harm than good...cause it causes all his opponents to crawl out of the woodwork, to inform ZD as to all the reasons he is so shady and evil. But here's something interesting...and I've already had some members of the community echo these sentiments. So here's an example of a CM and his constituents in agreement. (CM Alarcon on the other hand...not quite as happy, I'm sure.)

Dear Carol,
I NEED YOUR HELP! I am writing to ask that you and the Valley Horse Owners Association join me in opposing the proposed massive Las Lomas Development Project. This development would have a profoundly negative impact on the entire San Fernando Valley.
I urge you to oppose this project for just some the following reasons:
The development, with a minimum of 5,800 residences will be twice the size of Ahmanson Ranch on one quarter of the land;
The development lies at the confluence of five of the nation's busiest freeways - the 1-5,1-210, SR-118, 1-405, and the CA-14;
Traffic impacts along all major corridors throughout the Valley will be greatly increased. The development, on unimproved, uninhabited, and unincorporated County land would require the grading of 20 million cubic yards of extremely mountainous terrain.
Services ranging from police, fire, paramedic, tree trimming and other vital programs for Valley residents could be further depleted having to service a remote development that's difficult to reach.
Simply put, this development is a tsunami of sprawl. It is too big, too dense, and in the wrong location.
The impacts of the proposed Las Lomas development are simply impossible to mitigate. I urge you to read and share the attached white paper with members of the Valley Horse Owners Association and immediately take an official position in opposition to the Las Lomas Development.
Thank you for your hard work and dedicationt o the community,a nd thank you for your consideration. If you have any questions, please contact my Chief of Staff, Mitchell Englander, at 213.473.7012.
GREIG SMITH
Councilman, 12th District
P .S. Please send me.a copy of your official position so I can share your opinion with my Council colleagues.
