Re: Village Center Westwood

To The Editor:

Those who support the Village Center Westwood project demonstrate the only view that one can conclude with complete objectivity. Many of us have outlined both the pros and the cons (there are always cons: “there ain’t no free lunch”) and we can see that the balance clearly favors the pros.

Westwood gets a public library; Westwood gets ultra modem stadium-style theaters-if you haven’t been to the movies lately, you probably don’t know what a great improvement that will be; Westwood gets 1,650 new parking spaces not designated for other purposes; Westwood gets $1.3 million to mitigate now and future traffic problems; Westwood gets a real super market and the upscale shops and restaurants and neighborhood services it now lacks; and Westwood gets a lot of new tax and business license money to use for further much-needed improvements.

I do fervently hope that the Los Angeles City planners and the Los Angeles City Council will see fit to release Westwood from its bondage of the last 20 years and allow it once again to become the flower of Los Angeles.
