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.
The other absurdity
The other absurdity is that redevelopment money can be used to fix up old, low-cost housing, and keep the old properties in good condition, and keep them cheap. Both cities have plenty of low-cost market rate housing that's comparable to what's in poorer communities. It's not being fixed up.
Even in Los Angeles, the CRA/LA, which has thousands of affordable units, used only 25% of its budget for this housing.
