Soka Land Deal Would Benefit the Community

I read Joan Kay’s letter (“Just Say ‘No Deal’ to Soka University,” Oct. 9) with fascination. Kay does not have a single constituent and is dictating the course of action for all.

Many voters in the community have expressed their displeasure with procedures that jeopardize the rights of property owners. When the word tolerate is used, it belies prejudicial sentiment, which is an integral part of Kay’s position. One cannot help but wonder what personal anger drives her to attack an educational institution that would benefit the community.

It’s clear that environmental considerations are not important to this group. The thousands of people who would come to a park would increase refuse, multiply traffic and smog, and the property would not be maintained in the pristine manner that Soka provides.

Property values are of supreme importance to Kay. You can’t fool all of the constituents all of the time.
