Some Things I Feel We Should Support

I think it is time to offer opinions about what residents living in OUR neighborhoods could do to help OUR community move forward.

Of course, your opinions are important to learn and none of them may agree with me and that is perfectly wonderful.

So, here are some ideas that I feel we can all work together to get moved forward.

We should continue to demand that Bob learns real reason, realism, responsibility towards OUR community, and certainly a whole lot more respect for us.

The Clearwater Program must dig their access shaft on Terminal Island.

We need to come up with great redevelopment plans for downtown San Pedro.

Downtown San Pedro needs another Supermarket, much closer to it than the Von's.

Keep the future really large cruise ships, and all other cruise ships away from Kaiser Point.

We should either acquire the U.S.S. Kitty Hawk after it is decommissioned, for use as a floating museum, destination, historical element, and tourist trap, or find a assault carrier that will do the same things.

It is probably quite fine to use Port of L.A. funds and private funds to redevelop Cabrillo Beach, with a real charge of cleaning up the water in the inner harbor.

Fix San Pedro High School so that a new campus in San Pedro is not necessary, until most of our children are grandparents.

Really get working on and finishing the waterfront redevelopment.

Work with Dick Pawloski on some of his projects, no matter what we think they should be.

Help make the Port of Los Angeles and the greater L.A. area a cruise passenger destination and not just a transfer point.

Successfully finish finding all sports leagues and large sporting groups, permanent homes, without needing to deal with out of town developers.

Work with OUR whole community to find areas for real development of more housing for seniors and folks who need to find homes of their own.

Begin the real tasks of either adding lanes of vehicle traffic or rail traffic on and off of Terminal Island, or filling in a portion of the harbor to provide a land bridge.

Work to deny the China Shipping expansion.

Move the gosh darn Amerigas Tanks to terminal Island, the sooner the better.

Really work on the environmental issues affecting OUR community.

Give more, take less and joyfully help our OUR neighbors.

Help redefine what is a "Real San Pedran" to include folks who love OUR community, but did not have the great fortune to have been born or raised here.

Bring the goats back to Peck Park canyon.

I'm sure I left off of my list things that you may think are important.

You may also disagree with some or even all of my opinions. That is perfectly fine.

If we don't really work harder for what we think should happen in OUR community, then we will surely be run over by others or run down by outsiders who think they know what is best for OUR community.

We have lots to do. We can do much of it without using to much of our own funds.

Working in groups, we can come together as a very strong, concerned, vibrant, and great community that will attract and keep what is best about us.

Just think of what we can do together, as you are reminded how far apart we are on some very important issues, at this time.

R Neighborhoods Are 1 has demonstrated that a group of ordinary residents, banding together for a cause and causes, change help change things for the better in OUR community.

And we're not leaving OUR community!
