Activists win round against Home Deport

The recommendation means the full City Council is more likely to side with residents and Councilwoman Wendy Greuel, who have tried to block the big-box home improvement giant from converting a vacant Kmart into a Home Depot.
"This is exactly what we've been fighting for for the last three years," said Abby Diamond, with the Sunland-Tujunga Alliance and the No Home Depot campaign.
