I live in Silverado Canyon, about 7 miles east of Irvine Lake in
Orange County, California, and it is a very pleasant place except for
the fact that there is a small group of residents who want to dominate
the place with their personal life style. They are bent on imposing
their private preferences and policies on everyone else without,
however, footing the cost of doing so.
Like most canyon communities, Silverado Canyon, an unincorporated
part of Orange County located on the edge of the Cleveland National
Forest, is populated by a highly diverse group of residents. Rich and
poor, professional and amateur, nature lover and hermit, and so forth,
there are all kinds of people who live there. And most of them confine
their influence to the region they rightfully occupy and for which they
paid and keep paying good money. So long as they do not dump any harmful
activities or their results on their neighbors, this is just as it
should be.
