Letters to the Editor: Suburban housing in the Verdugo Mountains is a terrible idea (via latimesopinion )
about the threat to the Verdugo Mountains posed by the Canyon Hills luxury housing project.
We’re also experiencing the planet’s sixth mass extinction, another human-caused event threatening biodiversity. Reduced biodiversity contributes to unstable and unhealthy ecosystems.The government’s primary obligation is to protect people, or at least it ought to be. The city of Los Angeles has the opportunity to discharge that obligation, in part, by requiring a new environmental impact report.
When we talk about the need to build housing, this is the opposite of what we mean. Constructing resilient communities for the future demands building up, not out. The problem with construction in that hillside location is not the flammable plants. That would be mitigated to some degree by what we have seen in our suburbs for many decades: Scrap the native plants and install wide asphalt streets, with curbs and manicured grass from a nursery provider.
