Those canals, like the Venice canals could have been something to hold on to. Lots of people fought for and helped in the restoration of the Venice Canals, now people from all over the world visit them and enjoy them. And that community is a lot closer. A Little piece of the old may have been our ticket to world recognition. Especially since there are rumors the Motel may finish.

We need to rethink this let’s look like everyone else attitude. Give the parks commission a chance to form, we need Parks and Beautification commissions in order for the people to participate through them, let everyone have a peace of our new history. Let everyone decide what we want to keep of our old history, what’s worth fighting for and what we should cover up. If you want to be different you have to think different. Those before us were thinking different. 

 Last of all the city officials have to back up their words, or quit giving them. Mixed messages leave us all in the dark, fierce leadership that stands behind their words and don't drag their feet is important to the growth of business as well as community assets. The city can't keep doing whatever they want to property that is not completely theirs. The California City parks belong to all of us, we are all here, we are not absentee owners, don't treat us as such. We either have a commission, or not. Make a decision California City Officials and stand behind it.
