Late Night Snack
JM, Bomb Pop, 2nd & Beaudry, 12.11.07
Just out of curiosity: do you remember a time in LA when the ice cream trucks didn't look like terrorist transport vans? When you could feel safe buying a Push-Up off of one without contracting hepatitis?

The former fishwrap of record picks up the story on McMansionization. Jack Weiss sounds like he's not for restraint. "But should government take a very long pause before impacting the nest egg of hundreds of thousands of residents? Absolutely." A delightful non-sequitur, which apparently succeeded in baffling the scribes into not pursuing the logical followup: Why, Councilman, do you equate the "nest" with the "egg"? Ask any banker: only a too-dangerously speculative mind thinks that a home is a nest-egg rather than a nest.

MEMO TO MY "BLOGGIN MENTOR",
Once again "ASSETS PRESERVATIONISTS" are under attack by "BIG GOVERNMENT". Using the supposed logic of one "TOM LABONG". Then the "BOX MUSEUMIZATION" of the Autry Museum in Griffith Park, should meet with condemnation from the "Clowncil". Please opine.
Red Spot
Nice to see that Sunland-Tujunga is
setting the standard in leading the rest of the City in community preservation, activism, and engagement.
For a little town that LA treats as
a dumping ground,this community has
more huevos than any group on the westside. "A town isolated enough, that it doesn't realize it can't fight City Hall".
Assets Preservation = Preservation of "PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS".
what about the heartschallenger ice cream truck?
Private Property rights, for a small minority, mean, "Screw my neighbors, I will damn well do as I please".
This approach may work in rural areas, but in L.A., it is counter-productive to maintaining neighborhoods,quality of life, and
protecting the interests of the majority of property owners.
Personal expression may work in a small town but here in LA since we're so packed in we're going to require that all of you use deodorant, take showers and lose weight.
Donkey in the House!
I think he was referring to Mayor Sam and Zuma. The law requires that Zuma shower. Next we'll legislate Higby thin.
Higby's a hell of a lot thinner than he was!
