In the Future

This blog is still a newborn compared to several of my other blogs. I do want to let you know a little about what I am working on for this blog. Perhaps you can assist me and provide information that we need and want.

Currently I am scouring the Internet and other sources to be able to create a fairly extensive demographics profile of eastern Rancho Palos Verdes.

I will use Census tracts, Precinct information, voting information and a whole bunch of resources to illustrate who we are, where we live, what we do, and what we think, on our side of the city.

Southern Rancho Palos Verdes has the fastest moving roadway in perhaps, the entire country. It has our city's City Hall, views that are priceless, turmoil created by a greedy developer who has a terrible combover, and a 2-year College on its border with us.

Western Rancho Palos Verdes has the residences of most of the City Council members and many Commission and Committee members who feel they know what is best for all of us. One third of the major Supermarkets in our city is located in western R.P.V. and there are quite a few residential units in that particular area.

Northern Rancho Palos Verdes is unique in that it surrounds many businesses and residents located in Rolling Hills Estates and surrounds Palos Verdes Peninsula High School. There are not that many R.P.V. residents living in that area, compared to the three other areas, but they are impacted by malls, theaters, and shopping located in another city.

Eastern Rancho Palos Verdes has us! It has two-thirds of the Supermarkets located in the city. It has many types of housing and many income levels. it has many of the oldest homes in the city and it has the first tract of houses built above Western Avenue.

We have theaters, shopping, restaurants, and businesses that outnumber businesses in all other parts of R.P.V. and it is currently the sales tax revenue generation area for our city.

We have priceless views and we have concentrated traffic issues.

What we do not have is something we MUST work on, now and In the Future. We need to become more active in the affairs of the city of Rancho Palos Verdes!

Our hearts may continue to belong to San Pedro, but are brains need to focus on OUR city and what WE want and need from Rancho Palos Verdes government and bureaucracy.

Folks, In the Future, maybe the four remaining storm drains running under Western Avenue in our city will fail. Just remember what happened during the troubles incurred when the first three drains collapsed.

In the Future, we must help deal with Ponte Vista at San Pedro because whatever is built there WILL impact all of us in one way or another.

We need to find candidates for City Council seats in R.P.V. I want to find someone I can support who lives on OUR side of the city. I could never be elected to even the position of deputy assistant-backup dogcatcher, and I don't feel qualified, but I know of several residents on this side of R.P.V. that could make good candidates to support.
