Writers miss the point
Letter to the editor

The first two letters in last week’s Saddleback Valley News are amusing. John Laguna ("Low-income housing the right thing to do,” Letters, March 10) complains that anyone who doesn't want more low-income housing built in our small city is a bigot. The fact that we all bought homes in a master-planned community expecting that plan to be observed does not impress him. I would suggest that he volunteer his own street for the next project. The Steadfast project is in an area already heavily impacted.

Then, Keith Arnold complains ("Recreation center sign a waste of money,” Letters, March 10) that no one uses the remodeled Sierra rec center. I agree with him about the sign but, when the project was finished, I signed up for a family membership and my daughter found the exercise room too crowded at the times she wants to use it. Maybe Mr. Arnold is exaggerating slightly. Too bad about his park, but the rec center was there when he bought his house.
