Saving the Intersection

Jack McGrath’s letter (July 16) said that the corner on Ventura and Laurel Canyon boulevards should be kept as is because visitors would come to see Telly Savalas and Sharon Gless get their cars washed.

I couldn’t care less who gets their cars washed. I just want that area to stay as is because there are too many mini-malls, cars, office and apartment buildings. What we have is bad air, too much traffic and half-empty buildings. We need the gas station/car wash, and Tiny Naylor’s has been there too long to let it go.

The City Council should put a moratorium on excessive building. Everyone should be able to profit from one’s investments, but land should not be raped as it is now. There is no concern for the citizen or the area; greed is the main factor.
