The Insane Development of Big Tujunga Canyon

Big Tujunga Today

The continuing insanity of over-densifying Los Angeles has now come to the rural northern hamlet of Sunland-Tujunga. 

Plans are afoot to build a major development of nearly 250 luxury homes smack dab in the middle of Big Tujunga Canyon, near what has been used as space for baseball fields and archery ranges. And the rest of it, just good old fashioned open space.

According to the United States Department of Agriculture, the Big Tujunga Wash is a major tributary of the Los Angeles River which links the San Gabriel Mountains to the Pacific Ocean offering residents of the Los Angeles area a link to a natural environment. The Place's wooden riparian area serves as an important wildlife corridor, as well as a habitat for sensitive animal species.

But the powers that be want a Santa Clarita style mini city. All in a location at the base of Foothills with only a two lane road in and out. 

Can you say "Stop the Insanity?" More to come.

Ron Kaye's SLAP comes to the "Cut and Paste Capital" of CD 14

Ron Kaye's "Save Los Angeles Project" makes a visit to the "Cut and Paste Capital of Los Angeles" Council District 14 with a true "Town Hall Meeting".

From Ron Kaye,

Editor's Note: The Saving L.A. Project will hold a Town Hall meeting on Saturday Sept. 6 at 1:15 p.m. at the Charo Community Development Center, 4301 Valley Blvd., in the El Sereno neighborhood, following the 10 a.m. meeting of the L.A. Neighborhood Council Coalition. The goal is to form action teams to organize, research and advocate for community interests citywide. Get involved, make a difference.

CD 14 is a hotbed of community issues pitting constituents against a council office more concern with meeting the needs of Special Interests such as developers (Fifteen Group), USC, The Autry, Southwest Society, and anyone who will contribute to the legal defence funds of the "COUNCILMAN LAST SEEN RESEARCHING HIS ENEMIES AS JOSE HUIZAR".

One wonders if Huizar will want to attend today's festivities and learn the finer points on how to conduct a true "Townhall"?? After all, he can stand and speak without having "people in uniform" instructing him to remain silent. Second thought, maybe that is too much freedom for him to handle at one time??
