No Deal Reached in Talks of Disney, Developer

Looks like the battle for Anaheim resort district will go to the voters.

After weeks of talks aimed at resolving a yearlong zoning spat over a large housing project in the Anaheim Resort District, Walt Disney Co. officials and a developer have concluded discussions without a settlement, a park spokesman said Monday.


In all of this, no matter what happens, it is the people who need housing that will lose. They are fighting for 5% of Anaheim (as if the rest of the 95% doesn't exist) that is creating all of these jobs and economic resources. Not one of them has ever argued on why they need to create that housing THERE rather than elsewhere in Anaheim. Who told them that they have the right to live a few blocks from where they work? What kind of twisted entitlement is this?

Again, I work 31 miles from where I live. I have almost zero sympathy for people insisting that they should work where they live.

Zz.
