Editor,
The leaders of Laguna Beach saw the tsunami of big money coming toward Laguna. To protect some small part of our heritage they put in place a list of properties worth saving.
Laguna needs a strong heritage committee, otherwise Laguna would lose its charm.
Yes, fix them up, but keep the character.
Hopefully there are young people moving here because they like the character of Laguna’s neighborhoods and want to keep it. Character is so important because it defines Laguna. Owning a house with character defines who you are. It makes you stand out as some one that is different more than a 10,000 square foot house.
I want Laguna to stand out as something that is different and not just a beach town with bars.
