What Pedro Does Best Is What Pedro Does On Its Own

The independent spirit of San Pedran's is not a good fit for the big government Democratic party in charge of Los Angeles. Pedro's independent spirit is seen with the awesome "Shakespeare by the Sea" born and bread in Pedro and an awesome event. Pedro's independent spirit is seen in the "Clean San Pedro" team of volunteers. Pedro's independent spirit is seen in the Cabrillo Beach Museum/Acquarium started by a great Pedran. Pedro's independent spirit is seen in the Eastview Little League and the Boys and Girls club which independently flourish despite the government. Unfortunately Los Angeles county does not respect Pedro's independent spirit. It's city planners want to tell Pedran's how many homes to have in Ponte Vista and how many bike lanes it needs. Los Angeles believes it is smarter than the city that built the greatest port in the world? It is smarter than the people who live and breath in this town? I don't think so. Until Pedran's start voting to challenge the Democratic status qua Pedran's will continually have to fight the "Man". Unfortunately, the "Man" is the Democratic party and its lack of respect for Pedran's and their independent spirit.

San Pedro Bike Lanes Create Pollution

It was good that our councilman Joe Busciano called a town hall meeting to talk about the new bike lanes in San Pedro. Unfortunately, big city Los Angeles just brought the hammer down and said, just deal with it and more bike lanes are to follow. At the meeting the Los Angeles lacky's actually said that the bike lanes are to address Global Warming and safety. Unfortunately the moron does not recognize that fewer lanes means more cars are starting and stopping which actually increases pollution. In addition, no one is biking to work up Capital. If you made the case that cars were being replaced by bikes you could make a case for some lower pollution, but in reality all the bikers are recreational, hence no reduced pollution. Finally, you could always ride your bike on the street and we have had no bike accidents in San Pedro. Yes, in some corners of Los Angeles where the bike traffic is more dense there has been issues, but no here. Stupid Los Angeles is at it again. Can you say Harbor Gateway Succession from Los Angeles?
