I don’t think anybody minds the mural. It’s the more industrial parts of the building and the big power lines and towers leading away from it.

Personally, I don’t live in RB, but near it, so I don’t have a dog in this fight. But if you want to follow this story, The Daily Breeze covers it.

I would also note that, years ago, the city council allowed some big apartments by the beach, which took out a lot of historic Craftsman houses and destroyed local charm. I think the city does not want to err like that again, and this legacy lurks in the background of the debate.

I was in town and a some friends that used to work for Redondo had their 'official' retirement party recently. (The city had 10% of fire department retire on the same day over spending concerns like this. Not sure how many guys the PD lost that month.) The city is spending money they don't have on stuff like this. At their party, one of my friends sicked one of their council men on me. This guy had a clue about what was going on. Other members on that council are not dealing with reality.

Why it effects all of us? What if you get in an accident in RB and all they have is newbies. Great seeing the old wood retire but losing good people simply because we elect people out in lala land will eventually catch up with us.

Not sure if those power line would or could necessarily disappear since they are the high voltage capacity lines. SCE would go through hell trying to get stuff like that back if they needed again.

Nice not being in crazy land anymore.
