Growth is coming, let’s stop pretending otherwiseAgoura Hills
The Acorn (Agoura Hills)· Jul 23, 2026

Growth is coming, let’s stop pretending otherwise

Let’s be real: growth is coming to Agoura Hills, and pretending otherwise won’t make it stop. The Acorn’s recent piece cuts to the chase — we can’t ignore the state’s housing mandates or the wildfire evacuation nightmares still fresh from the Palisades. As a community that hugs open space, we have every right to demand better emergency planning. But we also have to face the fact that more homes are part of our future. This isn’t about surrendering to sprawl. It’s about being smart — pushing for well-designed development that doesn’t clog Kanan or turn our canyon roads into death traps during a fire. The state has spoken, and Agoura Hills must comply. The question isn’t if we grow, but how. Let’s stop pretending otherwise and start planning for the Agoura we want to pass on to our kids.

Candidate filing period opens

Whether you're passionate about development, traffic, or preserving our small-town feel, this is your opportunity to shape Agoura Hills' future. The Acorn (Agoura Hills) first reported the opening, so swing by city hall, make an appointment, and see what's required. Your community needs engaged voices — maybe yours is next.

Court hearing set for housing development at LadyfaceAgoura Hills

Court hearing set for housing development at Ladyface

Agoura Hills neighbors, mark your calendars: a court hearing on July 21 will decide the fate of a mixed-use housing development proposed at the base of Ladyface Mountain. The project, one of several in the area, has sparked a lawsuit from residents who argue it would worsen wildfire evacuation risks—a concern that hits close to home for anyone who’s watched flames creep closer during fire season. The Acorn (Agoura Hills) reports that the fight pits community safety against the push for new housing. For locals, Ladyface isn’t just a landmark; it’s a symbol of the tightrope walk between growth and preparedness. This hearing could set a precedent for how we balance both in the 805.
