Help Fight "Condoization" at 20Th and Walker!!!

There are things you can do, RIGHT NOW to help in the fight to keep condominiums away from the site of the former McCowan's Market.

You can call Councilwoman Janice Hahn's offices. You can Email the Councilwoman. You can send a handwritten note, long letter, or just a card to the Councilwoman stating your true feelings about whether you believe a developer can come into a neighborhood of single-family homes and build whatever he wants.

Here, I'm going to make it easier for you to Call, Email, And write to Ms. Hahn.

So what is taking you so long to go and grab the phone?

According to one of Ms. Hahn's senior aides, over 200 phone calls, Emails, Faxes, and letters have been received in a very short period of time.

There are no rules as to how many times you can call, and there is no rule that says you can't do all the different types of communicating to the Councilwoman's office.

Councilwoman Janice Hahn has made it perfectly to the development's owner that she does NOT like the idea of condominiums or apartments built in a neighborhood of almost all single-family residents.

We need to help Ms. Hahn demonstrate to other officials and departments within the City of Los Angeles that we will not tolerate the construction of any dwellings at or near the corner of 20Th Street and Walker Avenue, in San Pedro.

If you want to view a show where an interviewer will talk to leaders in the fight against having multi-family dwellings built on the site, you have four chances to do so.

To of the neighborhood's leaders, Charley and Nick have already taped a segment of
"Pete's Place" for airing at 6:30 PM each Saturday evening in February, on the CATV channel of Cox Communication. The channel may be channel 3, but please don't quote me on that.

The tiny spark that became the fiery flame of opposition seems to grow every day.

On Tuesday February 5, 2008, the Coastal San Pedro Neighborhood Council's Land Use and Planning will meet beginning at 6:30 PM at the Bath House at Cabrillo Beach. Everyone is welcome to attend and help the committee, by their comments, develop a draft resolution that can be debated and voted on by the Board of Directors of the Neighborhood Council.

According to the Secretary of Coastal, he counted 117 people at their last Board meeting which was the first time any group was able to assemble in numbers, to oppose "Condoization" of the single-family home neighborhood. That number far surpassed attendance at any other meeting of that Neighborhood Council.

San Pedrans should take pride that when a developer comes to town to attempt to change the way residents of OUR community live, not only will the developer find opposition very quickly, but the number of the members of OUR community who are willing to speak out grows every day.

The battles are not over yet, In fact, the fight is only beginning. But it is a fight worth fighting and a battle that we cannot afford to loose.

R Neighborhoods Are 1 stands firmly behind the neighbors who are banding together to fight against having condos or apartments built where the former McCowan's Market stands, if only for a few more days.

We have learned today that there have been no permits pulled, according to a source in Councilwoman Hahn's office to do any construction work on the site of the former market.

Individuals and a growing group of neighborhood leaders and facilitators will be watching like hawks, for any application for permits to be filed and how the process is moving.

The owner/developer has been put on notice, quickly and harshly, that OUR community will fight each and every battle we need to, in order to keep "condoization" or "apartmentization" away from that spot in San Pedro.

As OUR community has put on notice, both this developer and Bob Bisno, any other developer who seek to change the quality of life the current residents now enjoy, will not be tolerated.
