| It's like the old comedian's joke about how complicated weather forecasts have become with all the new technology, when all most of us really want to know is whether we'll need to take an umbrella or not.
In this case, all we really need to know is whether this proposed development will make us have to spend more time driving the streets of Arcadia and whether it will put more cars on our residential streets. |

| It's convenient for Westfield Santa Anita to claim they offer free parking when in fact they make the free parking so painful to utilize that many people wind up paying for the valet service, which they manage to make much more convenient at the expense of the drivers trying to find a free spot anywhere within the same area code. |

| This area was commercially zoned by the city several years ago and it is private land, so something WILL be built there. We cannot pretend this is not going to happen. The question is: Who and what? |

| Westfield seems to believe that no one in Arcadia is paying attention to what the giant Australian-based behemoth is doing outside the boundaries of Arcadia. Well, we Arcadians are smarter than that. |

| If Westfield truly wants to be open about the fact that they are behind Arcadia First! and Save Arcadia, then why form these groups at all; or why not have the group carry the name of Westfield? |

| We believe that when residents understand that the city has lost half of the $3 million in annual revenue it used to enjoy from the race track each year, Arcadians will be more inclined to support a development that will more than offset that lost $1.5 million each year with more than $2 million in new sales tax revenue alone. |

| I wonder why Westfield isn't calling for a Blue Ribbon Commission to offer suggestions about what Westfield should do with their property? |

|
| Although Arcadia First! and Save Arcadia are careful to note that they are funded by Westfield, those notations are lost on many residents and even some supporters of Arcadia First! who believe that they are truly part of a group that was formed and is run by devoted Arcadia volunteers. |

| Members of Arcadia First! appear no less committed to their cause to prevent the development of the Shops at Santa Anita than members of Arcadia Wins! are dedicated to seeing the project succeed. |

| It’s a great disappointment to see that Westfield insists on disrespecting and demeaning the intelligence of Arcadians. |
