   For over 2 decades (that's 20 years) Simon DeBartolo Group, Simon properties, and now Merlone Geier Partners have deceived, lied, and stolen from the citizens of Laguna Hills and the surrounding cities. It is time to kick these thieving bums out and do something for ourselves. That eyesore looks like a war zone from the 5 fwy, and the poor owners of Kings Fish House, and etc., who remodeled relying on the false promises of those real estate charlatans have suffered enough! Let's do this. to quote Horace: "Don't think, just do."

3. Smart and Final next to Nellie Gail Ranch?

   I have to wonder who in the world is helping locate retail tenants for the shopping center at La Paz and Moulton (the Village at Nellie Gail Ranch). Had you put in a Trader Joes, there would be a...

   I have to wonder who in the world is helping locate retail tenants for the shopping center at La Paz and Moulton (the Village at Nellie Gail Ranch). Had you put in a Trader Joes, there would be a line around the block. Instead, someone thought it would be a good idea to put a Smart and Final there? I am watching as they tear out all the beautiful wood flooring, and stainless fixtures, and nice lighting... and slap in the generic warehouse shelves of an ugly Smart and Final where I will never shop. What's next? The Nellie Gail Ranch $.99 Store? So I guess someone is expecting people to go to a Day Spa, or a personal trainer, or a high end salon, and then go shop at the Smart and Final? Really?

4. We need a planning commission to help develop a balanced community that have their citizens have a more active part in developing the community

   A need for a planning commission is paramount in creating a community to serve its citizens. We need a more balanced approach not one that is driven solely on developers who have only their self-interest at heart. The structure being built on avenida Carlota is a major eye sore that had little citizen involvement. Now we are faced with another project proposed on Alicia and Bentley (the former Mazda dealership ). Citizens (taxpayers) need to be better informed by the city on what is being proposed. Also the council meetings need to inform citizens on what is on the agenda to be discussed beforehand so we can decide whether to be involved.
