The Sierra Club, along with many others, has opposed the Las Lomas project. The development was proposed to be in a Significant Ecological Area that is the major wildlife corridor between the Santa Susanna and San Gabriel Mountains, and in the path of the Rim of the Valley Corridor. It would have been in a Seismic Hazard Zone, with a landslide overlay and also in a Fire Hazard Zone.

Global warming got you down? Worried about ice caps and glaciers melting, species disappearing, hurricanes, floods, and tornadoes? (Not to mention possible water shortages in southern California.)
If you're like me, you often use the very human mechanism of denial to cope with this fear. Sometimes I simply skip over newspaper articles about the latest bird species annihilation or prediction of coral death. There's a limit to the bad news I can take in one day!
