For the past 12 to 15 years, we have seen no changes except larger, higher more intrusive buildings, more traffic and less parking. We are attempting to mitigate that which is not mitigable. We are only five square miles and we are overflowing. I feel this is due to the lack of planning. Beverly Hills has grown, like topsy.
Growth can be good if it is controlled and planned.
We need a master plan. These plans should be formulated in conjunction with the citizens of the community, and not in a drawer, as was done with the Goals Committee conclusions. Our past councils have not had the proper values or priorities, and have listened to the wrong voices. But first I need to introduce myself. I have worked and lived in Beverly Hills for 20 years.
