From what I hear there's some land next to the Hollywood sign that's for sale. This is creating lots of controversy in the community. Apparently an investment group that owns 138 bush- covered acres above the Los Angeles landmark. The investment group put the land up for sale last month for $22 million. Some residents are afraid that the mansions that will be built there will spoil the sign's uncluttered, postcard backdrop. Some also are worrying that the land will no longer be available to hikers, sightseers, and romantics who often climb the hill for peace and quiet as well as a panoramic view of the Los Angeles basin.
Councilman Tom LaBonge said "That is our Eiffel Tower". "There is the Hollywood sign, there is the open space, and that's all there is, this is ours and it should remain ours."
I think that the city of Los Angeles should get together and make the sign a historical landmark, because if you think about all the people who travel from all around the world each year just to see the Hollywood sign it is definitely worth keeping the look that it has always had.
