What is Measure LV? A great deal of information is being distributed regarding local measure LV, much of it via "push polls" over the telephone. A push poll is when the 'researcher' claims to be asking for your opinion but it is actually giving you an opinion. Much of this information is actually misinformation. Some of it is so inaccurate that it is the exact opposite of the truth. Here's the truth. It's not complicated. Measure LV requires new construction which does not conform to curr...
Oscar, I adore you. I think you're a great guy. I've voted for you to serve on the Santa Monica Malibu Unified School District Board every time you have run for that office because I think you are honest and sincere about wanting what's best for the students. But when you knelt during the Pledge of Allegiance at the opening of the school board meeting on September 22, I think you were out of line.

On Tuesday members of Residocracy, a local activist group, submitted 13,400 signatures to City Hall on a referendum petition opposing the development of the 767,000 square foot Bergamot Village Transit project.

The project, to be built by the Hines development company, would...
The Santa Monica City Council on Tuesday made the predictable move of voting to postpone deciding the fate of the much-opposed Hines mixed-use "Bergamot Transit Village" project at 26th Street and Olympic Boulevard, the site of the old Papermate factory. At 767,000 square feet, more than half of which would be devoted to commercial use, the mammoth development has attracted widespread opposition from Santa Monica citizens. High on the list of concerns is the prospect of a substantial increase...
We have received yet another slick flier from the Miramar Plan people. Illustrated is a beautiful colored rendering of the proposed new 21-story hotel (I won't insult you by calling it a renovation). The flier claims this tower - twice the size of the current structure - will "create affordable housing, ensure the Miramar redevelopment is economically viable and support the City's vision for Downtown." Interestingly, the picture doesn't lie. The architectural drawing shows very clearly a...
