To those council members who approved the festival center project:
There are no words I have to describe how disappointed and sickened I am that you voted in favor of the Festival project.
You have all listened to numerous members of the Anaheim Hills community give intelligent and well substantiated arguments as to why this project
should not be approved. You’ve heard residents describe their terrifying experiences of trying to evacuate during the last few fires they have lived
through, and still have remained unmoved.
As much as you want to put your faith in the so called “experts’ who you consulted, the real experts are the people who live in district 6, and their
experiences mean nothing to any of you.
As a resident of Anaheim Hills, I feel that my community is being discriminated against. Since I can’t come to any rational explanation as to why
any of you in good conscience could put my life, and the lives of my family and community at risk, I’m left to imagine all kinds of possibilities.
I ask myself, is this decision motivated by personal and or political gain? Is there a perceived sense that people living in the hills are somehow
“privileged” and need to be taken down? Is there an unconscious desire for older white people to die because they are supposedly the oppressors
in society? What is it? Really, what is the reason?
Whatever the reason, your decision is wrong and unjust. If people and property are lost in the inevitable next fire, there will be blood on your
hands. In the meantime, before the next fire, quality of life in the Hills will be further eroded by more traffic on already overcrowded streets,
impossible parking at our local places of commerce, and now living in even more fear that our lives and the lives of our families will be at even
greater risk in the next fire.
How could any you do this to us? Your decision is criminal, and cannot prevail!!!
This fight is not over.
Thank you for your time.
