OUR COMMUNIST NIGHTMARE THAT IS SMRR is guilty of murder, rape and robbery by creating rent-controlled and building ugly affordable tenements in our once quiet little town along with codling homeless and crooks. It has become dangerous to walk our streets and parks. Even our homes are invaded by transients and affordable housing gang bangers. Next to three million dollar homes, we build these tenements. I wouldn’t be so mad if the so-called poor only came from Santa Monica, but they come from gang areas like east LA and Compton. These ugly tenement buildings will increasingly become eyesores and breeding grounds for crime.
