Urban Sprawl
* Re “Santa Monicas Searching for Balance,” Aug. 20.
The article tells of 3,700 housing units being [allowed] on mountainous properties along the Ventura Freeway corridor, including the cities of Hidden Hills, Agoura and Calabasas, all in Los Angeles County. I’m alarmed at the continuing loss of open space. This is urban sprawl! When you move, choose a house or an apartment where you can walk, bike or take mass transportation to most destinations. Stop spending so much time driving. Join and contribute to an environmental group and keep up on what urban sprawl is doing across America.
