And don’t you forget it! LOL They’ll never complete it. Do we want every citizen South of the 10 freeway, all the way to the water, coming in our city? NO! There’s a reason our San Marino Lacy Park charges a Fee to come to the park. They’re called Mexicans. None will say it, but THAT is another IMPORTANT reason why it will never happen. The $$$ of my friends properties are a second and third issue in my opinion. But important nonetheless. I don’t believe the ‘State of Calif’ per se, even has the will to pay out how much that property is worth + never will.
In 1959 my parents were turned away from buying a house in a new tract development in Pomona because they were black. Didn't matter that my dad was an Army Captain in uniform, and my mom looked like Jackie Kennedy with a suntan. They were forced to buy a home in Compton anyway.
It didn't matter that my parents were quality people. Their complexion was just a shade too 'enriched'.
Apparently, its still 1959 in South Pasadena.
