Aliso Canyon Redevelopment Plan

The Athens Group gave us the access and the tour, but I still feel skittish about this redevelopment plan.

Are we allowing them to alter nature? I'm split on that. I know there is non-indigenous plants in the creek, but if we remove the plants and "clean" the creek by clearing it out, will the animals return. The construction that will happen will change animals way of life and those that have gone (because of the state of the current creek) or that are still there, may not return if the area is unsafe and unusable for them for a few years!

I know that amelioration is important for the land, the economy and society, but are the costs too high. I am just not sure!

What should we do? What are your thoughts out there in cyber-land? Convince me one way or the other, because I don't feel like we have enough information yet!!!

I look forward to your thoughts and compelling arguments, and if you see me wandering around Laguna in my little grey Subaru, please say hi and then convince me that we should or shouldn't let this happen.
