Coverage of the Playa Vista Project
I feel the Times has been unfair in its coverage of the Playa Vista project. Your articles have implied that there is broad community support for this development, and only two opponents.
In truth, at the last public hearing, on June 23, the speakers alternated pro and con. If my math is right, that means 50% of the speakers were against or had serious concerns about this massive development.
My observation was that the people opposed were mostly the residents who live in the area and who have no economic gains from development profits, temporary construction jobs, etc.
These were just citizens, many of whom took time off from jobs, to tell the hearing spokesman their fears and concerns. Please give us some time also in your coverage.
