Self-storage is a waste of space

As I was driving on Duesenberg Drive today, I was floored to see a "Self-Storage Coming Soon" sign on the vacant land near our post office.

Go figure: In these times of rising unemployment and dwindling city revenues, city of Thousand Oaks officials see fit to allow development of a self-storage facility that employs a whopping total of two people and which generates not one penny of sales tax for our city.

Is this the best use of what little developable land this city has left? Do we really need another storage facility in a city that already has 10?

I urge our city officials to stop and recognize that what limited developable land is left in the city should be utilized to provide local jobs and generate sales tax revenue, not to provide more storage sheds for a society of materialistic packrats. Robert Nguyen Thousand Oaks
