Bigger Picture on Surfside

A recent letter writer applauded the Port Hueneme City Council for assessing “those people in Surfside.” He added: “They seem to object to everything, but the council passed it in spite of them.”

Those people in the rest of the city (84%) don’t seem to realize that the Surfside community is already assessed more than $2 million in homeowner assessments annually to maintain their own properties, which adds to the aesthetics in the area.

Before we all become unglued, let’s try to look at the bigger picture and recognize that the beach park is an integral part of the whole city. We are too small in numbers to be divided. We should all try to work together so that we don’t end up destroying this lovely city.
