Richard please you are making way too much sense. Thank you for adding your comments.
From my standpoint as a long time resident, one of the many things I love about this City is we don’t have “areas”.
What that is saying is we don’t have parts of the City that are more densely populated by any one group of people.
Go up and down any street in this city and you will see we all live together.
My family has been at the same address since 1963. In that time we have seen many neighbors come and go. Each time our neighborhood has welcomed and embraced whomever moved in.
Where we should be a “Poster City” for Diversity and Inclusion, somehow that agenda does not work for some, and frankly I just want us to move forward as a City.

What about getting Santa Clarins together after this last painful year? Independence day, the street dance, and concerts in the park are great places to see the mix and diversity of Santa Clarins getting out.
Even though they’re not labeled all inclusive, diverse, and minority, the outcome of Santa Clara’s getting out and about together does more for our community than any proclamation or crazy special day or flag.
The more activities available to Santa Clara’s is the best way to see that we have no racial divide. If you spend some time at Central Park you can see that everyone enjoys the outdoors. I for one would like to see more city-driven activities and less media driven proclamations which seemed to divide. Allow us to come together naturally.
