Another senseless tragedy. Our society has become a culture of violence and acceptance of violenceRead More is deeply engrained now. What magnitude of tragedy, how many more tragedies is it going to take before appropriate constraints are put in place? The 2nd amendment does not transcend public safety and welfare.

Fact: LA Waterkeeper has done nothing to save the Oxford Lagoon, a designated bird conservationRead More area, from the County of Los Angeles continued and expanded exploitation as a flood control basin. Fact: LA Waterkeeper supports the destruction of the Ballona Wetlands and then subjecting the area to urban runoff pollution in perpetuity.

Very good reminder. The same is true for sea shells . Don't remove a shell from the beach orRead More water. You are stealing the home of a critter who may have wandered away for a breath of fresh air.

I assume the change saves a lot of money, which is fine if it helps you survive, but the new formatRead More is just a list of articles. Not good.

Hi Tom, thanks for your comment. Actually it has to do with making it easier for readers like you toRead More engage on the site. I'm available if you have any other questions at jessica.davis@patch.com.

I liked the old format better. It was a daily hometown paper and easy to read/navigate. The newRead More format is like the L.A. Times. That isn't what I want. Please return to being a big fish in a small pond, instead of a small fish in a big pond.

Thank you Tamara! Or should I say thank you Green T. See you and your friends on Earth Day.

The Emily Shane Foundation is the best example of making lemonade from a rotten lemon.. TheRead More terrible tragedy that inspired this Mother to take meaningful action in her own community and surrounding areas is remarkable. Students with learning disabilities will now receive the education and assistance they need and deserve instead of dropping out of school and living a marginal existence.

.....sounds like a great "recycling" project....however, is it possible to find out justRead More how much it cost to recycle the old tires from aqusition (the old tires) to the recycling process (what company does this) and then the cost for the city to purchase the recycled "planks"? We definitely need to recycle more but need to balance the cost of doing so.

The "enTIRE" industry...love that!

Even if there is no financial savings, it's still an important project that needs our support.

I'm empathetic to valid public concerns yet hopeful a compromise can be reached. My sense from theRead More Worthe-Gehry collaboration is there was a sincere effort for their plan to blend in and harmonize with Santa Monica sensibilities in both the ergonomic and aesthetic sense. Believe me, I'm not gullible and can be just as dubious and cynical as the next guy. As far as developers go, it could be a lot worse and I don't want to scare Gehry away as the dream remains among myself and many others that he could be cajoled into redesigning the Santa Monica civic auditorium. Perhaps Mr. Worthe could apply his business acumen to THAT project after convincing us cars will be able to get from Lincoln Blvd. to Ocean Avenue during rush hour in less than 20 minutes when the hotel is done?

...design PHASE - not "faze"
Greg Fry March 28, 2013 at 02:16 am
Paul, you refer to this proposed development as a fait accompli, or at the very least as what youRead More consider to be the best option in inexorable and unstoppable development alternatives. What of a much more sensible option: say "no" to ANY and ALL development proposals that would Manhattanize Santa Monica, and to insist that local government respect this will of its constituents or be ousted!
