The Last Egg Man

Defending his poultry farm, Ken Arno faces off against the Valley’s king of rezoning

If you look closely at the San Fernando Valley, you still see sights rarely imagined by people who don’t know it — open sod fields, a few lingering citrus groves and stands of cacti — remnants and signposts of a land that was. Today, Valley residents find themselves fighting for the essential character of the place they call home.

Meanwhile, Arno is counting his chickens — and counting on his neighbors to challenge City Hall’s vision of “inevitability.”
