Save Our Community was founded in the movement to resist Wal-Mart's development in Rosemead, California. Now, it has become a general site for news, information, gossip, talk, and blogging about Rosemead. We also have stories about South San Gabriel, San Gabriel, Montebello, and occasionally about Pico Rivera, El Monte, South El Monte, Alhambra, Temple City, and other nearby communities. Your host is Todd. If you want a blog just sign up, get approved, and start writing. Good posts will be moved onto the home page.
Thanks...rational was the idea.
Yeah, there are plenty of politics in this...certainly all of those, at least, and on both sides. That's part of why I avoided those and focused on the larger potential effects; ideally, if you avoid the hot-button issues, those who are capable of it may actually listen to you.
To your question about developers...yes. To all of those.
The point I was trying to make was that the new General Plan sent a message that, whether or not they even cared about mixed-use, this was now a different city with new ideas and new ways of doing things; it was *not* the same Rosemead they've been mostly ignoring in favor of our neighbors. Moreover, it had a coherent plan and a vision for the future. But then turning around and gutting the core concept in the Plan while simultaneously shutting down a successful local business...? Gosh, what a confidence builder *that* would be....
They live in Arcadia, as I recall. Should be in the first half-hour of the newly-posted video if you want to watch it.
