With concerns about privacy intrusions and decreased property rates, a group of Santa Monica homeowners are pushing a ballot initiative that will allow homeowners to have the final say over the city’s attempt to landmark their homes.
These homeowners have raised a significant amount of money to further their cause, but some people believe the entire matter is a non-issue and not a concern of most Santa Monicans.
So this week Q-Line wants to know: “Do you really care about whether or not a homeowner can voluntarily designate his or her home a landmark? Why or why not?”
Call (310) 285-8106 with your response before Thursday at 5 p.m. We’ll print it 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.
