City has 'disastrous' plan  

 To the Editor:

       The following is an open letter to Rolling Hills Estates City Manager Doug Prichard:

       I am amazed at your city's attitude in regard to the disastrous plan to build condos in the Silver Spur/Deep Valley corridor. Some of your officials say that they don't see that much opposition from RHE citizens. Of course you won’t - the entire Peninsula Center area is surrounded by Rancho Palos Verdes. We are looking nearly daily at the monstrosity nearing completion next to the post office, and shudder at the thought of several hundred more of these being built.

       You sit on mostly half-acre lots in the Palos Verdes Drive North area and are promoting up to 20 times that density in an area that you have no real involvement in except soaking up tax revenue.

       Shame on you and shame on RPV if they don’t fight this outrageous plan with every legal means available.

       Does anyone remember why we all wanted to move here and why we created the cities versus Los Angeles County?
