In recent months, TPR has published interviews highlighting the development challenges involved with large regional projects such as Playa Vista, Tejon Ranch, and Dos Lagos. One of the more progressive of the larger planned communities being developed in the region is Las Lomas, located at the intersection of I-5 and Highway 14, just south of the Santa Clarita city line in Los Angeles County. The Planning Report presents an interview with Dan Palmer of Palmer Investments, in which he articulates his vision forLas Lomas and answers his critics on the issue of smart growth and responsible development.
