'Building mania' not necessary

Regarding the Agoura Village plan, what are the stores proposed? Cold Stone Creamery? Victoria's Secret?

What do we need that we don't have in Agoura? A Whole Foods Market, a teen center or bowling alley? Maybe.

But this building mania is not necessary. Just because we have the open space doesn't mean we have to fill it up.

If Agoura Hills needs the revenue to stay in business, I vote for paying higher taxes, not putting up more junk stores to get revenue from the ignorant.

It is a great responsibility to have undeveloped land and we must intelligently approach that responsibility with the future of our children's welfare in mind. Once our land is covered with cement we have destroyed it forever.

This plan is not respectful, beautiful or responsible. I want to see an accurate rendition of what is intended to be built. I want to know that the city of Agoura doesn't have a hidden agenda or self-serving advocates of the project. I want to know that bids have been submitted competitively for "potential construction."

I want to know that this is really what the citizens of Agoura and Agoura Hills need and want. Cydney Cornell Malibou Lake
