Agoura Hills should ignore the hysteria about Home Depot




Agoura Hills should ignore the hysteria about
Home Depot


I am writing this letter to complain about the scare tactics of the anti-Hope Depot movement.


I have been receiving email from Al Abrams telling me to organize an anti-Home Depot coalition; the big problem is that I am very much for Home Depot or any other large moneymaking concern.


I thought that the city of Agoura Hills was low on cash and needed the tax income from business to maintain roads, lighting, sidewalks, landscaping, etc.


I thought that now we had lost that self-righteous Anderson from the building commission, we would be able to move ahead as a city and hopefully not build useless office buildings that bring in negligible income.


Now that all the old, long-established businesses have been razed and ruined by the city, the least the city can do is allow businesses that are needed by the residents to move into the neighborhood.


I know that I don’t like to drive to Thousand Oaks/Moorpark or Simi Valley to make my purchases, and I’m sure that most of my fellow residents don’t want to either. Mr. Abrams sent me an email about our upper-income area and how we don’t want to be inundated with riffraff, I guess that he meant the people from Thousand Oaks/Moorpark and Simi Valley where we shop.


Of course, I would prefer to have the lower crime rates of these areas instead of the residents of Agoura Hills who think their income level is the most important aspect of life. I’m sure that family, happiness and peace of mind don’t come into their picture.
