STOP BUILDING IN SCV
So unnecessary
Omg….yes because Santa Clarita isn’t already overcrowded with not enough roads!???
OMG and the traffic! ?
Nooooo ?
Hey I need an incentive to leave this city as soon as I can. Thanks !
Nooooo!! Stop building
Joe Marcinko
Gridlock 24/7! I say No!
( Did I state that clearly and succinctly enough?)
This is just the beginning of building. The total number of new homes in this area is 21,000!
Too much traffic already and getting worse.
Why would someone want to live across the street from a landfill?
The landfill they are trying to grow to be the second largest in the world!
There are to many people here now, we don’t need anymore building. Its starting to look like the damn valley. Traffic is bad enough.
Stop the madness! You are destroying the city!
When are they gonna build a new school? They are so crowded as it is!
SFV to SCV commute in the afternoon is already at least a full hour!!! ?
Santa Clarita is doomed. Yet many people in this state still can’t or won’t see the direct correlation between their overall quality of life declining and endless population growth. Santa Clarita once was a group of communities… now this valley is just a destination of sorts.
Too many houses here already. More problems. Whoa!,,,Stop this insane idea.
Stop building in Santa Clarita!!
Here come the NIMBY’s! ?
Forget my backyard. Not on my freeway!
Water rationing due to drought, electrical shortages, landfill & air quality issues, ridiculous traffic, and overflowing schools…ya – that’s just what SCV needs – new homes! UGH…
Why solve our problems when we can make them worse!
Stop building.. Theres not enough water, too much traffic and air pollution is so bad already.
Stop thinking about the old might dollar….
Can anyone even remember we had field of vegetables growing here…. Stop with building!
No one cares sadly.
I guess only us little people are in a drought…. But not developers ?
I am looking forward to the new communities!
Nothing like 6,000+ more commuters in SCV. Ughhh
please don’t start this building until we are OUT!!! house going up for sale this year & hopefully we are gone by the time the madness begins *sigh* loved the SCV when first moved in & have lived here 13 years but between congestion & crime this place is not the place we moved in to anymore! sad :-(
NO
Not good , our little community is drowning no more room .
Nope. Can’t squeeze any more sardines in this can.
Well, I’m sure 6000 new homes will significantly reduce the horrendous traffic that now exists in the city……….
Seriously? 6000 “units”
This is ridiculous! It’s not going to be Santa Clarita valley anymore it’s going to become Santa Clarita flats ?
Ridiculous and infuriating
PLEASE bring your protests to the hearing! People showing up could stop this, but just making face book comments will not help. If you care, ATTEND THE HEARING. If you don’t want to speak, you can just fill out a card and write you comments on it, bit it is really important that you show up and bring a friend too!
Corrected

Here’s a thought why not build home’s that are affordable to people working in this city so that way people who are making under $15 an hour don’t have to drive a ridiculous amount and cause more traffic on the freeway they can actually spend times with their families and use there money to support more local businesses…. Nevermind I forgot santa clarita only likes the build for the wealthy, there is no middle class in this city
Disgusting.
Irene Ruiz
SCV really has no more space… streets are super over congested it’s ridiculous
Santa Clarita sucks
Of course! We’re all here, so now’s the time to pull up the drawbridges! It’s not NIMBY at this point, it’s the good ol’ drawbridge syndrome!
OK, we’re here. But what about our kids. Where will they be able to afford a home?
Oh Boy, they sure pack em in don’t they
There should be a moritorium on building until we are out of the serious drought situation. This is terrible. We also need to stop the assinine Bullet Train as well. Total waste of resourses.
There is NO MORE ROOM in this valley!!!! WTH???? Too crowded! So sad wits all about the money here.
The thread here appears to be that it’s just getting too crowded here and building should stop. OK, just throwing this thought out there: when should it have stopped? Five years ago, ten years, or the day your escrow closed? If you ask any of the old-timers around here assuming there are some still left, they would probably say “Before they started developing Valencia.”
Sad…
Solo para los que pueden pagar eso…good for them!
Great, more traffic…
I hate you SCV city council.
Can we have the meeting when 75% of the residents are not stuck in traffic
Just what we need more building and more traffic. Screw you city council and all involved.
Stop! The madness
Umm, maybe add to the 2 roads that connect the SCV to the rest of the world first ?!? ???
And yet many people will continue to vote for lefty progressives that are completely bent on inviting the world to California… so we can all pay for it and watch the population explode. Wake up people!
STOP BUILDING IN SCV ALREADY!!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.???
I can name 99 problems that the city should focus on but wanting isn’t one of them.

Great! More people, just what Santa Clarita needs…..
My beautiful wife and I moved to the Santa Clarita Valley 32 years ago. Our biggest store was K-mart. Of coarse we had grocery stores. Over time the valley grew, and yes we have enjoyed the convenience of the Mall and other great stores. With that said, what happened to our little bedroom community. We raised two beautiful daughters, they went amazing schools. They are now grown and we have no reason to stay in this over populated town any longer. We have sold our home we raised our kids in, and are moving on.
To all those who made SC the safe place to raise a family, I say thank you.
Can’t wait for those vehicles to hit the streets and I-5 corridor further backing up the 14. 45 minutes from Canyon Country to Holy Cross the last two days (11 miles). Why L.A. County wants to develope the SCV another urban cesspool it the result of total greed at the expense of those who already live here.
thats nice just put more cars on streets and FWY, they are empty as it is ,Thanks !!
Should not be built.
Just make it a big dog park
All about politicians, land owners and builders scratching one another’s backs. They don’t care about the people of the SCV because most of them don’t live here. I dare them to dictate to me about how much water, gas and electric to use. The impact that 6,000 homes will do to our utilities, water, landfills, traffic, etc. is a no-brainer. The city and county know that. . . . they just want the revenue . . . . and don’t forget that scratch on the back! How nice of them to offer us a meeting and waste our time.
