Furniture stores are less onerous than a school

I am writing in response to Sandy Wignot-Isaacson's letter (re: Heschel school) for what may be a sensitive and controversial and yet very fundamental reason.

The few details Isaacson inserts are inaccurate if not dishonest. For the record, the "slope" is not "to diminish the view of the school." Nobody has proposed "20-plus homes on that site," nor is it, or was it ever, zoned for 20 homes or a school.

No, ma'am, lowdensity furniture stores along a commercially zoned freeway frontage are in no way comparable to hundreds of screaming children and thousands of cars per day, plus night time and weekend activities, including bar mitzvahs, weddings and sporting events in rural residential backyards.
