Scott Hopkins’ story, “Point Loma will be lit for home opener,” in the Aug. 17 Peninsula Beacon, makes a great point about PLHS’ campus and the stadium: “…by state law, a new public high school for 2,000 students built today would require a minimum 51 acres of land, or exactly three times the space available to PLHS students.” Exactly why a lighted stadium at Point Loma High, with homes sharing property lines, with no parking lot nearby, is completely inappropriate where it now stands and exactly why there has never been lights before. Instead of considering building a new school as the student population grew, SDUSD decided to expand into the neighborhood. This shows complete disregard for neighboring homeowners by the district for many years and many more to come. Angela Holmes Shaw
