The Hollywood Community Plan will diminish the quality of life for all residents -- current and future. Variances and established height limits to protect environmental impact will be waived. Coordination with emergency services, public transportation and community facilities is a MUST. This is a developer's dream. Developers will be able to Manhattanize Hollywood with residents having little recourse to object. The Plan is based on flawed data as the City of Los Angeles contends that the population of Hollywood will increase to 250,000 by 2030. When in fact it has steadily decreased -- more than 7% over the last 20 years -- with no indication of growth. Please hellp us make our goal.

There is a tax on social securiy payments if one dares take anything over $15k out of investments or other pensions. Barak Obama promised to change the calculation to exempt double the amount in the formula. It hasn't been done and, especially here in NYC, $15k is not a high income.

I cannot imagine our founding forefathers signing on to something that distorted.

SkyTran is a personal rapid transit system that would allow commuters and others to travel in small, automated cars suspended above the road, directly to their destinations, without having to deal with slow bus times, other passengers, traffic, or set schedules: just get in the next available car, tell it where you want to go, and it takes you there, bypassing all road-based congestion.

I am seeing more and more homes being taken from hardworking people because of debts owed a homeowners assosiation. I have seen and heard the abuse of power that these people hold and it seems to me and many others to be just another way to steal what others have spent their lives sacrificing to build. The debts to a HOA should be just like a cedit card debt and as such a persons home should be safe from collection ptactices.
