A School district wants ball fields for high density housing

A School District wants to sell little league fields for high density housing

North Torrance Little League

First they came for your neighborhood commercial centers and neighborhood religious centers as "under used" property.

But now..."under used"  school property seems to also be up for grabs to turn into high density housing.    

For the last 30 years, a surplus school property in Torrance has been home to two little league groups- North Torrance Little League and North Torrance Girls Softball League .  Now Torrance Unified wants those fields to be high density housing (see link below).

At some point, NO has to be said.  But when? 

The current Long Beach Developmental Services Year 2040 plan is to take East Long Beach commercial centers (ie Circle Center, Los Altos Center, Los Altos Gateway)- plus some "under used" religious properties along "transit corridors" (bus routes!)  and rezone them for high density apartments.  

The "Smart Growth" city planners want East Long Beach two story apartment complexes to go to SIX stories. The State of California has thrown-in SB 35 which says with affordable housing and along a "transit corridor"- well you don't need ANY parking.

So when is it time to say NO?  If not in 2017-then in 2040? 

Or in 2040 do we look around and say- Hey we still don't have enough housing ... Those huge open spaces at El Dorado Regional Park are under used they are not full 24/7- lets build there.  Hey. kids can go to school on the internet- why have "under used" school buildings  dedicated to them?

In 2040 will we need a Stearns Champion Park AND a Los Altos Park on Stearns Street?

In 2040 will need Whaley Park  to be on BOTH sides of Atherton?

In 2040 will we reason the "under used"  special needs LBUSD Hillside and Buffum schools and the Tucker school site administrative offices land would be much better as 6 story mega apartment tracks?

When do we say NO? Now?  In 2040?  Never?
