Hey Cal, This was actually my fault. Because I spend so much time on Moorpark Patch, I think I…Read More automatically typed in "Moorpark" when helping out with getting the LA election news onto the Patch sites in Los Angeles . . . Usually when I make a silly mistake like this, I'll fix it behind the scenes before anything actually gets published. Last night, I found out one of the glitches to be ironed out in our new platform is items posted directly from other sites can't be deleted without deleting the original. Hopefully our tech genies get that fixed soon, but in the mean time, I'll definitely be more careful and keep our local site local (at least as much as I can. Some of the sponsored content is beyond my control).

Dear Patch People... Why include an article in the Moorpark Patch that has to do with local…Read More politics in LA? Why should this take up space in our Patch? Anybody following the elections in LA can turn to the LAT on line or any number of other sources if interested. Just wondering... I prize the local news and the timeleness of the Patch. Forget the stuff that doesn't really impact our community.

Does anyone know what "separated" means? Separated how?
What is a "designated…Read More place" A dentist office? A car wash?

Above is a PDF from LA City that says on page 3 that it is 600' from religious worship.
Whoever writes these articles needs to do some fact checking. Or at least be able to back up their comments with some sort of documentation.
Not only is this new Patch format inferior to the old layout, so seems to be the reporting as well.

As I read it: "...is separated from residential zones, maintains a 1,000 foot distance from…Read More schools and a 600 foot distance from parks, child care facilities, and other designated places, and other requirements. The proposition requires a 600 foot separation between medical marijuana businesses."

I see this article is posted on every Patch so the local Eagle Rock editor probably didn't write…Read More this article.
Can anyone find out if its 600' or 1000'? Anyone? anyone?

The only green any of these people care about is the green dollars that they get from Developers,…Read More Unions and special interest groups. Oh, and yes the amount of Taxes disgused as "Fees" they can get from Taxpayers. Vote against all incumbents and former office holders if for no other reason than to let a new group of people have a chance to see if they can do something diferant that just might work as well as reduce the influence special interest groups have over incumbents. Please refer to the Einstein quote of Insanity: "Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" Apply this to Incumbents and discuss with the 11% of the people expected to vote.

Garcetti's green is only when it is Greenbacks. The research shows that the TODs are anti-green and…Read More increase the Greehouse Effect, but Garcetti presses for more and more TOD's with less and less green space. When Hollywoodians wanted a park on the vacant lot directly across Hollywood Boulevard from Garcetti's filed office, it got expedited approvals to be a huge mixed-use complex which torn down three old huge ficus trees so that people could see the signage the developer wants to splash across the front.
He refuses to allow a single park-garden woonerf be constructed in Hollywood. Why? The developers do not want to pay for off-street parking in their projects and thus they want the streets to be used for parking -- not turned into gardens and parks.
Garcetti once proposed building apartments over streets with wide median strips and to eradicate backyards by building apartment houses which would stretch across the backyards for an entire city block. He calls these projects 'In-fill" In'fill means, anyplace that doesn't have a mixed-use project needs to have an apartment.
You think your back yard is yours? Ha! Garcetti pushed AB 2531 to bring Kelo eminent domain to eery parcel in LA. If some developer buddy of Garcetti decided that he wanted all the back yards on your side of an R-1 Street, all the backyards could be taken away under KELO eminent domain. The Gov Arnie vetoed AB 2531, but that does not mean Garcetti have given up.
Eric Garcetti Is the Next Mayor of L.A.
With 100 percent of precincts reporting, Garcetti had 54 percent of the vote, compared to 46 percent for City Controller Wendy Greuel.
