Isn't it time we remember the critters, who, like humans, need water, food, habitat, and shelter, too? Why should housing developers continue to increase the borders of Los Angeles, blocking access to animal migration paths, when there are so many small towns across our state and nation that could use some reconstruction jobs and an economy boost as well? Why would a bigger Los Angeles makes sense to anyone except for a developer? Shouldn't we stand up for animal rights and stop the building in Los Angeles, stick to rebuilding here, while sharing the jobs throughout our state, instead of into the pockets of a few investors from who knows where, who care nothing about our human habitat or animal rights, or freeway nightmares, and seeks only profit? I worked in construction for decades! There is plenty of infrastructure to repair! If profit is the goal, then take the 80 per cent of the foreclosed housing purchased by the investor guilds and fix them, while leaving the few wild lands to the critters who deserve much more than we have taken from them! Stockton is in trouble! Why not rebuild there and get their people back to work? Fresno, the murder capital of the U.S., due to lack of jobs, could do with some fixing up and jobs, too! Isn't it time to look at the economic problems of our nation as a whole and plan around that, instead of the easy money of tearing down mountain ranges and farmlands and animal habitat to build houses that never get repaired, only left to die from the day they are built? Why not rebuild what we have! Rebuild in the inner-city! Build where people are starving due to lack of jobs! Isn't it time for a government to serve all of the people, not just the rich ones who want to make an easy buck that will contribute to (purchase) a representative in Los Angeles? Where is the master plan that re-vitalizes our existing city? Where are the local jobs, that allow people to work near their homes and not have to commute ever farther to the outskirts for work, where it is too hot to work, too hot to live, and we leave nothing for the indigenous denizens that call it their home, too? Don't we have a planning commission? Shouldn't it determine and be faithful to our state, not to the pocketbooks of an investment class from overseas, or to a Cayman Island LLC, who fail to return to this country some of the success they would only heap upon themselves in the form of real taxes, not gamesmanship with our tax codes? Leave our bunnies alone! Leave our one waterway alone! Turn this wild land into a preserve, not into a lottery! The time to stop the greed and come to our senses is now!
