Unrealistic Demands for Housing
Letter to the editor

Hey, I don’t live in Laguna Beach. There are several reasons why that’s so. One is that to live in a house comparable to the one I live in now in Mission Viejo would cost me about four times as much, and I don’t think it would be worth it. To put it another way, if I were to live in a house that would cost the same as what I am living in now, I would be living in a teeny, tiny, three-room house without a garage and without a yard.

Now, I love the ocean and I go to Laguna Beach several times during the year. Nobody’s stopping me. But I’m not about to go to Laguna Beach’s City Council and demand that I be given subsidized housing. I’m not demanding that the city residents help pay for my shelter. And I’m certainly not suing Laguna Beach because they’re not providing me with said shelter. How preposterous!

Go think, Mission Viejo! Do we know of a place where this is being done? Oh, yeah! And the Mission Viejo City Council is all wrapped up in it.
