Econerd commented on yesterday’s post about the naming of the community and then the city of Thousand Oaks, and I am posting it separately:
“The name Thouand Oaks didn’t come about with incorporation because it was listed as that on maps as early as the 1920′s. And, it was Thousand Oaks when Jungle Land was here in the 1950′s.
As far as the oak trees, sad to say that as of February of this year, the Thousand Oaks City Council voted 4-1 to ease the stringent regulations on oaks. (guess who the lone vote was?*) This now opens the door for removal of any oak that the city determines is owner planted or non-native.
This could lead to hundreds, if not thousands of oak trees being removed, that were planted by developers who reached agreements with the city in a long-gone time when the city council was concerned about urban sprawl.
What does this say about TO’s commitment to the environment now? Show me the money!”
