The High Cost of being Perceived as a Good Neighbor for the "University of Scandalous Conduct".

An united, grass-roots coalition forces the "University of Scandalous Conduct" (and City Councilman Jose Huizar) to change course in the preservation of Historic Hazard Park. 

 The Greater Hazard Park/ Ramona Gardens residents take a stand to preserve their historic community green space.

The Power of  a United Community forces the "University of Scandalous Conduct" to account for their bad neighborhood standing.

** Blogger's Note: If you are the "University of Scandalous Conduct" (USC) who has run into a "people's wall of opposition" to its plan to place a street through a public park, what do you do? Retreat, redirect and rectify by investing in your community. CD 14 City Councilman Jose Huizar and the embattled Private University announced last week an agreement that protects Hazard Park in its current configuration, with USC pledging a Million Dollars plus in park improvements. The fact that USC is finally investing in the Historic Green Space bordering its Health Science Campus, should not gloss over the fact that Councilman Huizar has neglected and reallocated public funds earmarked for infrastructure upgrades during his time as Councilman. The blunt fact here is that no amount of public/ private money is going buy the support of park supporters unless there is an end game agreement that takes into account a long term vision for showcasing Hazard Park's Historic, Ecological and Cultural Heritage----Scott Johnson in CD 14.
