I read with disgust about the hedge trimming ordered by City Hall, (SMDP, May 11, page 1). What’s next? No smoking at the beach, dog runs in the park, no smoking at the park, homeless running amok in the park, no signs to advertise your business, and now hedge trimming! This is not a city run by thinking, caring council members. It’s a city being run by our mothers!
Next they will be telling us what to wear, comb our hair and how to take care. Oh my! 1984 is here in 2004 in Santa Monica. City Hall needs to check out the hedge to the left of City Hall, it’s over 42 inches and so are many other hedges located in city parks.
