Santa Monica certainly isn’t without its challenges and controversies. And while there is frequently a lot of negativity highlighted in the local news and public debate, there must be some things that are positive about this place.
Even though there are a lot of homeless people messing up the place, and the cost of living is really expensive, we all have chosen to live here for a reason. We want to know why. Consider this week’s question a challenge to come up with something positive about Santa Monica and we’ll be happy to print it.
This week’s Q-line question is: “What’s so great about living in Santa Monica?”
Call (310) 285-8106 with your response before Thursday at 5 p.m. We’ll print them in Friday’s paper. Please limit your comments to a minute or less; it might help to think first about the wording of your response.
