South Mar Vista Seeks Better Vistas

I am all for South Mar Vista breaking away and seeking better vistas elsewhere. Since when did being a wealthy enclave entitle a larger city to pilfer their property values then lower them in the same throw?

The Empire of Los Angeles just takes and takes tax revenue then spends and spends it on the most inane of projects, yet the roads in West LA remain ensnarled with traffic and full of pot-holes. The City of Los Angeles blocks the building of local charter schools, then deprives members of their right to purchase plastic bags, then haggles over outrageous pension obligations which should have been dispensed with years ago.

Perhaps the members of the Mar Vista homeowners association should take advantage of the growing budget woes that won't budge in Downtown. The city is more likely than not unprepared for another lawsuit. Mar Vista breaks away, with the San Fernando Valley soon to follow. Maybe even San Pedro and Wilmington will rethink their connection and reinstate their move to break away from LA.

On another note, I am saddened to read that Councilmemnber Bill Rosendahl is suffering from cancer. As a member of the wealthy South Mar Visita community, his last act and legacy should be to support secession of the Westside area and its annexation with nearby Culver City. While he is healing from physical cancer, he can help excise the excessive the cancer of centralized government eating away at the coffers of the Mar Vista community.
