History Shows It’s A Mistake To Put All Your Economic Eggs In One Basket
The following is response to the article, "Beverly Hills’ Bad Medicine," published on Tuesday, Aug. 17.
The
article looks at only one side of the issue. Beverly Hills is a
community of 35,000 residents with a day time population of up to
450,000 and with more vehicles passing through everyday then are on the
405 at LAX.
The
city has a lot of revenue to be sure and nothing here should be
perceived as a complaint about lack of resources. On the other hand it
takes a lot of money to support the services to such a huge day time
activities and special events ranging from traffic control to endless
police services to the United Stats to assist with protection of
visiting US politicians and foreign visiting dignitaries.
