By R. Chace Santa Monica
In the SMDP April 27 edition, (page 1), I read the article about the cell phone antennas. It made me think about how things go in Santa Monica. The City Council makes everything difficult for the people who live here. As an example, I can’t make a cell phone call from my kitchen but I can from my upstairs bedroom. I can’t drive down a city street without having some obstacle provided by the city impede my progress. I can’t go almost anywhere without tripping over the homeless. For awhile I was impeded from going to ATMs because the City Council thought the banks should provide the service for free. I can’t do a remodel on a property without going through a living hell from the city. Why do we keep electing these kind of people?
