Gerald Silver of the Homeowners of Encino group has posted comments on the recently updated Housing Element of Los Angeles. The Housing Element provides guidelines for development of housing in the city of Los Angeles and is based on the Framework Element, a document that is supposed to dictate a general plan and addresses issues of growth and infrastructure. The Framework Element along with the Housing Element are being criticised for not taking into account realistic growth issues that now face Los Angeles; decreasing water supply and traffic congestion being examples of problems that are not being considered.

BEVERLY HILLS (KABC) -- The Beverly Hills City Council is moving forward with plans to build a high-rise complex at the site of the Beverly Hills Hilton. The Council approved the final steps of the project - which includes a hotel, condos, and conference center - with a 3-2 vote on Monday night. A second vote, set for next month, is needed to finalize the development. The Beverly Hills North Homeowners Association plans to gather signatures to put a referendum on the ballot to overturn the Council's decision. It will also call for a recall of council members who support the project. "This is so pitiful, so pitiful. I'm hurt by it, I'm generally hurt by it," said Beverly Hills resident Terre Thomas. "I raised my children here, and I feel pushed out, and I don't want to feel pushed out. This is my home."
