Less Affluent, Less Attention?
* Hurrah for The Times’ editorial regarding the Chiquita Canyon landfill (“A Question of Priorities,” Oct. 22) and the one proposed for Elsmere Canyon, and the attitudes of those who make the decisions.
The same holds true for other areas in L.A. County. There’s a notable difference between the services afforded to neighborhoods in the affluent areas of the Valley, such as street cleaning, street maintenance and landscaping in public areas and so on.
Simply because certain groups are less articulate or do not exert as much influence does not mean that they deserve less attention from those who represent them.
