Growth, Height, Density, Traffic and Prop TBy Susan J. HartleyCandidate for Councilmember; City of Santa Monica |
This information is provided by the candidate | |
Opposition to LUCE plans for more growth, height, density and traffic. Support for Prop T. Support for listening to residents.The Land Use and Circulation Element is a disaster for Santa Monica. It is calls for making Santa Monica what I call "Playa Vista North". Residents have stated over and over they don't want all the growth, height and density yet City Council and staff persist in their crusade to make Santa Monica less and less of the small, beach town community we love. LUCE calls for 6 to 9 story buildings around the City. The community is being sacrificed for development. That's a tragedy for Santa Monica. People in rent control apartments are being forced out for development. Neighborhoods will be walled in by the height and density proposed for the boulevards under LUCE. I worked for and support Prop. T even though I don't think it goes far enough. There is too much development in Santa Monica. Prop. T is a start to fighting our traffic woes. You cannot have rampant development without more traffic. City Council and staff keep ignoring the residents. Prop. T is the voice of the residents saying to City Council and staff, "Enough is enough!" |
