I read your one-sided blather about the recent action of the court to halt the politically motivated and over-sized economic horror that was to be the "Lang Ranch Community Park."

I wish you would have taken the time to gather your facts, but I assume that it would have just been a waste of time since you had already made up your mind.

The park that they were proposing wasn't just a park; it would have been a monstrosity of a sports complex that would have impacted the environment in many ways and detracted from the beauty that are the neighborhoods in which it was to be located. Night lights, loudspeakers, nighttime noise pollution and traffic on a road and in a place where it would be dangerous to enter and exit.

There could always be a nice park with trails and picnic areas, daytime tennis courts and rest facilities, but what was proposed is against the spirit of the planned development that is Thousand Oaks.

If you were to follow the money, you'd see that we need to spend the little we have caring for existing services rather than over-taxing the system and our community by layering on more financial burden at this time. Chris Lorine Thousand Oaks
