The reality is that the very few commodities that we rely upon continue to go up in price. That is called inflation. Our economy continues to sink. <BR/><BR/>Boarded up buildings in Oak View.

The houses already built aren't selling, there aren't any "luxury" houses being built. <BR/><BR/>Vacant retail space and closing business in downtown Ojai, but next time you drive thru Oak View at 50mph think about slowing to 35mph and look at the empty storefronts there, too.<BR/><BR/>The water districts are not the problem. Ojai is special, but the problems are not. Time for the know-it-all self-styled social activists to wake up.

Keeping Ojai valley a small town tourist destination compared to a roadside attraction is wisest use of a finite valley. Also,incorporation of outlying areas into the city open them up to exponential growth further impacting limited natural<BR/>resources. Is water district plan to slowly<BR/>sqeeze out small family farms for<BR/>development? That is the result of<BR/>rate increase. On same subject,<BR/>it appears that the spraying of Arundo on upper Matilija watershed<BR/>is preperation to place luxury housing pads along the very desirable creek channel area. Anyone else notice or is it just my imagination that expensive<BR/>homes are taking over valley?PLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
