Now that a new year is upon us, 2006 will prove to be 365 days of opportunities and challenges. The city of Santa Monica has many of both — a new city manager will start his job this month, as will a “homeless czar” who is charged with effectively dealing with our growing residentially-challenged citizens.

So this week, Q-Line wants to know, “What is the biggest issue facing Santa Monica and how should we as a community deal with it?”

Call (310) 285-8106 before Friday at 5 p.m. and we’ll print your responses in the weekend edition. Please try to limit your comments to a minute or less. It might help to think first about the wording of your response.
