To Council Members who voted in favor of Festival Center Development,
I want you all to know that you have created a very worried, angry, and unhappy group of Anaheim
residents here in the hills. You have all chosen greedy developers over the safety of the people who live
here. You all know that Anaheim Hills has fulfilled their housing obligations over and above at least 2
other districts. How could you even think that it would be okay to add high density housing without
proper infrastructure to what is already a death trap for many of us here.
Now instead of enjoying our lives here, we all have to live in the fear of one day being met by fire we might
not be able to escape.
Many tax paying people here are so discouraged, and are packing their bags to get out of “pacific
palisades south”.
Those of us who are staying for now, are going to fight like hell to protect our homes and families. There
is a growing movement in our district to take matters into our own hands since you have all chosen your
own political and financial gain over our lives.
You are all tone deaf beyond anything I have ever witnessed in my life, and many of us here feel so
betrayed.
I say all of the above with a heart of mercy and compassion for each of you, personally. All humans are
imperfect and flawed. My hope is that you will all recognize the sin you are visiting on the Anaheim Hills
Residents, take accountability, and reverse course.
Thank you, and may God bless all of you.
Sincerely, Lori Hughes

To all Anaheim City Council Members;
Do not, I repeat, do not, change Anaheim Hills with all of the housing developments that you are looking
to put in our area! Where is your rational thought process? Are you only interested in the revenue these
developments will bring in to further fund all of ways you are subsidizing people in your districts so you
can secure their votes? You are exploiting the people of Anaheim Hills who you think have tons of money
to just keep handing out to many people who are not even legally here, and are stealing funds from your
State to give them. Many of them are living a better quality of life than we citizens who worked hard our
whole lives for anything we have.
I grew up in the flatlands of Anaheim, and my whole family worked hard to be contributing members of
this community. There came a time when the neighborhoods near me began to change for the worse. At
that point, It became my goal to work hard to be able to buy in the Hills of Anaheim, where things were
still beautiful, and had not gone down hill like so many other districts in Anaheim. After years, I finally got
here.
Now, this area is facing a complete change with all of the new developments in the works, and still, no
real way out when the fires come.
Do you really think that this well established community is going to always be here to absorb what you
are potentially inflicting upon us? Heck no!!! Your greedy aspirations are going to destroy a whole
community of serious tax paying citizens. Mark my words, this place will become a ghost town in no time,
and you will have lost the biggest tax base you could have ever had in this community and in this State
because many of us will leave. The new developments will be empty, and this whole area will become
just another tragic casualty in the wake of poor governance both State wide and locally.
Focus your efforts on cleaning up your own districts, and leave us alone!!!!!!!! Do not rob us of the way
we want to live our lives here in the Hills. This is our community, not your’s to play with in the service of
greedy developers who promise great benefits to you. Truly examine your hearts, and think of us! We
are, and have been, the best members of the Anaheim community you could ever want.
Thank you,
Lori Hughes
