What Are the Two Most Challenging Issues Facing Our City?
I believe that the two most challenging issues are managing growth (or the lack thereof) and providing adequate services, including water and decent roads. These challenges have remained fairly constant over time, and I don’t anticipate their changing soon. We must ensure that the quality of life that we enjoy in our city remains whether we are enjoying rapid growth or whether we are not growing much at all. Most people moved to Woodland Hills because of the natural beauty and the large, spacious feeling. These resources must be preserved. Additionally, we must ensure adequate delivery of safe water supplies. This is a challenge because we need to determine how much money we are willing to spend in order to enjoy what level of service. That same dilemma applies to our roads – both the construction and maintenance, and also the snow removal.
