Time for the Female Nordic Opera Singer of a Certain Size

Thanks Councilwoman Hahn!

Vista del Oro Neighbors Against Condos (VDONAC) can now rest a little easier, now that the ordinance has been put into full force.

Two very strong and extremely able women need to be thanked by all of us who found our fight with a developer to be a noble fight for OUR community.

Ms. Barbara Dragich quickly became the leader and spokesperson for VDONAC.

Barbara came into the fight having almost no knowledge of how to work with the city and Councilwoman Hahn to save the neighborhood she loves so much.

Barbara was the anchor, the 'go to' person, and the leader VDONAC needed, just when they needed it the most.

Ms. Michele Burk was the knowledge-base, the mentor, the administrator, the behind the scenes person who provided so much of the overall tremendously great help to everyone, surrounding this issue.

So many residents of 20TH Street and other streets in the area need to gather together at least one more time to remind each other of what they did as a group and how strong OUR community can be when push comes to shove.

The group looks like it could be the strong basis for a new Homeowners' Association in that area. We need more of those types of groups to keep the lines of communication going and to support OUR community at times of need.

Janice Hahn did her best as a politician to assist the residents of the area (potential voters) and her guidance and leadership of her staff brought about something we haven't seen in OUR community, the "Q" condition.

Now what in the heck am I going to do with all the remaining buttons? (keep it clean now, folks.)

Let’s hope Ms. Hahn does the same for Northwest San Pedro area. This will be a WIN, WIN situation as the property is already zoned R-1. Or, Hahn might consider supporting Bisno’s project with one condition that he signs a contract where Bisno shall provide 100% funding for the Metro Green Line (light rail line) connection from San Pedro to LAX. With this type of meaningful mitigation, any neighborhood would welcome a change in zoning.

a light rail line would just make this project a little more palatable. but given that the expo line is costing 640 million plus to finish, even bisno doesn't have that kind of money. still, his paltry sum of 8 million for transportation mitigation is laughable.

in carson, a developer is proposing offering 40 million for a project of around 1,500 units.
