Rules for private yards go too far

Share via

In Costa Mesa, we enjoy a hobbyist, outdoor, do-it-yourself-kind

of lifestyle. As you know, I’ve been involved in the RV issue and

several others, getting involved in the City Council race as a

campaign manager, and also I agree with Mitch Barrie that Costa Mesa

is sort of surrounded by Orange County and we do have a unique

character here that many, many people feel is being lost because of

over-regulation (“Residents uniting against City Hall,whileJuly 25).

I’ve talked to many people that moved here to avoid just what they

consider over-regulation of their personal lives. We’ve enjoyed

almost 50 years here in Costa Mesa without these rules, and it’s

spawned some great people in many industries because of the relaxed

lifestyle here, and many people, including myself, feel that’s being

lost and it’s really a shame. We’re one of the last cities with any

character left around, and I think most people would like to retain

that.
