Good News, Bad News Coming Soon

If you’re like me you prefer the bad news first. Here it is –

 

BAD NEWS - MORE HOMES TO BE SQUEEZED INTO LAKE FOREST

Find out what's happening in Lake Forestwith free, real-time updates from Patch.

It’s almost impossible to believe, but developers are trying to squeeze even more homes into our City. Most of the 4,500+ new homes approved haven’t even been built yet, our traffic is congested at all times of the days and in all sorts of places, and there are no new resources like schools, libraries, or post offices being built. Yet developers, who don’t live here, want to squeeze in 250 more homes.

Be sure to set aside 7 pm on Thursday March 27 to come to City Hall and tell the developers to go home. I’ll have more on this issue early next week, but in the meantime you can go to the City’s website and check out the agenda for the Planning Commission.
