By Ron Di Costanzo Santa Monica
The August 2-3 “Q Line” prefaces the comments by saying, “Some people feel that [LUCE] should limit development while others want to see the city continue to be developed.” If the 18 responses are representative of those who wrote in, one can only conclude that there are rather few “others” who want more development since all the writers were strongly against the plan. Has the council listened? Ask the first man to announce (oh, no, you say) he will run for re-election: the Honorable Mr. [Richard] Bloom, who has yet to find a camera he didn’t like. It is of interest to some why many Santa Monicans spend two years complaining about various aspects of the city, and then every other November vote the same self-absorbed rascals back in. I would certainly like to hear readers’ speculation on that.
