  2. The Superior and Appellate courts found the City had racially discriminated against Asians. What facts/evidence do you have to the contrary? City Attorney Doyle went down same rabbit hole and lost costing residents $6MM.

  4. Can something be done about all the semis parked on El Camino? It makes it real hard to see traffic coming out of driveways.

    • I’m not sure what the options are but when I visit the bank it is always a problem pulling out onto ECR because there is a big rig parked in front of the bank 95% of the time. I assume the drivers are customers of the local motels. Don’t know where they could park. If the ECR specific plan ever took effect there would be no on-street parking on ECR. That only gives 5 – 10 years to figure it out, right?
