‘Sometimes Our Government Does Work’
After reading about the “2,000 pound gorilla” Playa Vista project (Times, Oct. 6), I had enough questions that I attended the Small Craft Harbor Commission hearing to see if the commissioners shared my concerns. Happily, they did not automatically agree with the pronouncement by Nelson Rising, senior partner at developer Maguire Thomas, that this is a “very, very attractive package for the county.”
My family and friends, to the contrary, cherish these wild expanses which provide relief amid the urban scapes of Westchester and Marina del Rey. I applaud the commissioners for their cautious deliberations on the financial and environmental benefits to the community of this proposal. I saw that sometimes our government does work!
