I don't want to get into a verbal sparring match (with Diane Glasser "Lang Ranch Park deserves to be criticized" April 27 letters, Thousand Oaks Acorn) but I have to answer your challenge about the facts.

1. The developer had a sign on the vacant lot for at least 10 years. I saw it every day on my travels up and down Westlake Boulevard.

2. I don't know if you purchased your home in the start up stage or not but every new home development has a very large site map telling all the buyers what is going on in their new tract.

3. You are a NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) and no matter how many times you say you aren't, just read back your letter and it will tell you all you need to know.

4. The Kool-Aid drinkers are out in full force. Ken Ramsey Thousand Oaks
