Planning Unit’s OK of Warner Ridge High-Rises

I hope Planning Commissioners Theodore Stein Jr., Fernando Torres-Gil and President William G. Luddy are satisfied! I hope they sleep well night after night. They have just (May 11) perpetrated the most unconscionable betrayal of public trust imaginable. They can now sit back and rub their hands in glee as three seven-story buildings, two five-story buildings, one four-story building, one three-story building, a restaurant and a parking structure for 3,000 cars rises on the corner of De Soto and Oxnard in Woodland Hills!
Just one of them could have prevented this catastrophe. JUST ONE! Didn’t the credibility of our courageous councilwoman, Joy Picus, who resisted the enormous pressure from developer Jack Spound and the powerful Johnson Wax Co., count in their deliberations?
Didn’t they hear the sincere and impassioned outpouring from the community and the people who live here? They were there in body at the hearing on April 27, but where was their spirit?
