There is a lot of missing information in these numbers. LA County has approximately 10 million…Read More people in it. They say people have access to 2.5 million jobs but do not mention how many people are vying for those jobs. It also, of course, does not mention the relative education and training of the residents versus the requirements and compensation packages of the jobs. I spent nearly a year looking for a middle-management job and finally found one 45 minutes away. In this town, that is a short commute.

Not only is the answer "no", it's "hell, no". "Accessability to jobs?"…Read More By spending hours in personal vehicles? The absolute lousiest public transportation for a city of this population? What were they smoking before they crunched the numbers? Is there some spreadsheet error we don't yet know about? Are they confusing apples with oranges? Sheesh! I used to take Metrolink when I worked, but I wouldn't exactly call it convenient nor inexpensive. Short trip to the train station, but.......and no, my employer did not kick in any $ like so many others did. That's life.

This study suffers from a classic error. It assumes that access translates into a job--which is…Read More often not the case. Because of high housing costs, many Angelinos can not afford to move and thus select long commutes over moving to a higher rent/ purchasing a new home nearer the job. There is also a second self selection re commutes-- individuals will stay with a job close by, even if it means giving up raises or advancement to avoid excessive commutes or finding new housing.

Congratulations to the winners!! Just wondering why it seems that only 3 schools were represented??…Read More My child goes to school in Chatsworth and NOTHING was told or offered to the students about potentially participating in this wonderful artistic celebration of our community. However, they sure can bubble in those circles for the standardized tests!! Shameful lack of actual education and community participation going on.

sounds typical, if true. More city taxes, less city services, less council accountability.

PAPA MARTY, I can not tell you how much you have enriched the lives of all the children and parents…Read More at Our Community School. Every time I see you on campus you have a hug and a smile for me. Our daughter will be leaving OCS this year for High School and I know she will miss you dearly, Thank You for telling her how special she is and that the ones who hurt her with their cruel words and actions Don't matter. The LOVE and attention you show the students by being there in the classroom for them is unmeasurable. You are truly PRICELESS !!!!!! Love to you and Mrs. Marty too.

Bravo Marty! Thanks for setting an example for all, not just seniors.

I do not understand the above comments from Red Davey. Ride with Pride has never discriminated; it…Read More is largely run as a therapeutic riding program for individuals with disabilities and has always included able-bodied lessons as well. I am not aware of what "the other side of the story" is about, but it is unfortunate that this fine organization which expanded it's clientele in less than three years (and continues to do so) and spent their own funds and dedicated volunteer time to improve the ranch was asked to leave. In situations such as this, there are often more than one side of the story, perhaps even two or three.
Red Davey March 28, 2013 at 12:45 pm
This is a rebuttal to the comments referencing Ride with Pride's departure from Browns Canyon Ranch.…Read More You should be aware that there is more than one side to the story as to why Ride with Pride was asked to leave. Browns Canyon Ranch has nothing against Equine Therapy programs and in fact still supports several, more successful, non-profit organizations who provide Equine Therapy to the general population and does not discriminate. The programs are still in full operation at Browns Canyon Ranch and more appreciative of our generosity and support of their programs. Please feel free to come by and visit our friendly ranch and draw your own conclusions before listening to disgruntled negative remarks by Mr. Murphy. Thank you.
Ann LaManna March 27, 2013 at 03:06 pm
As a volunteer, I appreciate the local support to keep Ride with Pride in the community.

As a member of the Chatsworth Neighborhood Council, and as an Angelino I am concerned about…Read More inappropriate and over development of residential areas.
Though I will need the services of an elder care facility in the future, that is no excuse for destroying our current neighborhoods. There are master plans for all areas of Los Angeles. Each inch of these plans were hard fought and required many compromises. Why should we throw out this collective wisdom and some semblance of planning for the benefit of profits and tax revenue! Los Angeles already has a reputation for being poorly planned –with a hodgepodge of land uses crammed together. The approval of this project will only further the fragmentation of our city’s quality of life.
SPECIFICALLY: This area* is zoned residential. if one were to use a high density residential (9 homes) and high density occupancy (5 persons) on the 2.34 acres 45 total residents would be allowed. If you estimated based on ½ acre, horse keeping lots and occupancy of 4, the site would allow 16-20 total residents.
If this project was built to high density, single family home standards it would be tolerable for the community.
However, this project is 4 to 5 times this density. It should be sited in an area zoned for apartment buildings or commercial/services.
This project is inappropriately dense and not fitting the characteristics of the surrounding community.
