Council meeting today
Today's City Council meeting includes the continuation of a hearing involving an effort to convert a church building at 840 North Sierra Way into a homeless shelter. Opponents to the plan object to the site's proximity to a facility that serves domestic violence victims.
Other items on the agenda include a presentation on downtown revitalization plans and the proposed establishment of a property-based business improvement district intended to preserve the San Bernardino Auto Mall's dealers.
In other news today, the Los Angeles Dodgers open the 2009 season and the Michigan State Spartans play the North Carolina Tar Heels for the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship.




On downtown revitalization:
Here we go again: Blah, blah, blah,blah,blah, blah.... and more money into the big black hole again.
Another survey
another sell job
another pie in the sky art show
another micro managed failure by non business types
and no one wants to sell the properties to private enterprise to take the responsibilities to make the downtown area work based on capitalism and not "pie in the sky dreams".
