Open Space
* I was amazed by Orange County Planning Commissioner Teresa Smith’s comments about the 1,746-dwelling development approved for East Orange (“City Planners Vote to Back Irvine Co. Project in Orange,” Sept. 20). She says the commissioners agree they would rather preserve the open space, but since they choose to live in such a wealthy area, they have to accept development. One has to wonder how rich you really are if you don’t have access to open space in your community.
