If you're going to accomoodate people (and note that recreational uses for the new park were mentioned), there is stuff that needs to be maintained. As far as I can tell, it is not.
Seems to me they have a lot more land than they need in the park system down here, and yet they are angling to get even more. The park system has bought up a very expensive tract of land in Lower Topanga canyon, near the ocean, and they are in the process of throwing out all the current residents. Some renters will get payoffs of over $80,000 thanks to the high cost of even vaguely equivalent housing in the area. I think it's insane to remove housing units from a region that's desperately short on housing. It certainly says how hypocritical our Coastal Commission is when it claims "affordable housing" is a goal; Lower Topanga was one of the few areas of the Malibu/Topanga area where "affordable housing" was even vaguely close to being a reality. (We're talking about $1,000-1,500 a month rents here, instead of $3,500-50,000 a month).
