To the editor: The rendering of the flying taxi landing area appears to be enormous (“Flying taxis are coming to L.A. This developer is already picking places to land them,” Oct. 3). In a green space, and with environmental issues like ours, it seems irresponsible to gobble up land for a use that will only benefit those who can afford such a luxury.
The article mentioned Culver City as a possible site. As a resident and former planning commissioner generally open to change, in this case I say, “Not in my backyard.”
