Reader comments No solutions – just more bad ideas I have followed the lack of interest taken by the governing body of Mission Viejo regarding the problem of traffic in the area of Newhart Middle School, in the adjacent neighborhoods and on La Paz Road. If this council has its way, we can add more housing, crime, students and traffic to the existing situation. They proposed a gymnasium, dog park, enlarged community center and now 450 apartments above the stores to compound the problems. Where will the tot lot go? What else could one hope for? Oh, maybe tents at the library and city hall with those portable outdoor showers for the homeless. The displaced merchants at the center could also operate from the parking lots in tents. Oh goody, a giant flea market. Shirley Parmeter Clarification on drug house story One salient point was missing from The Buzz [July 21] account of the situation. The house at which the arrests occurred is an absentee landlord property. The renters have made a point of letting the neighbor know that they are well-informed of their legal rights. Although numerous residents have contacted the actual homeowner, no action has been taken. Apparently, as long as the rent is paid, he has no problem with the tenants. This is only one house. What will happen with a multi-unit rental property with legally protected "low income" tenants? Let's not turn downtown Mission Viejo into a slum. Lisa De Paul-Snyder Everyone pays for bad decisions McLean, Ury and Kelley shall be voted out of office in the next election. They – all three – are highly incompetent, and they are wasting our money. (Permission not given to publish name) Reaction to blog editorial about hospital director’s opinions Perhaps Mr. Bastone [hospital director] in his quest for public service should address the fact that Mission Hospital does not have a contract with any senior HMO. Medical care is his game, and the seniors are left out. He should stick to medical care and not worry about housing. Shirley Parmeter Keep the current sign and volunteers Why do we need an electronic sign on La Paz and Marguerite? I am very distracted by the two signs down by the college. They cannot be read in entirety while waiting for the traffic light to change. We do not have to hire someone to change the signage. Why not let the volunteers continue their good work? Dee Strubb |
