Venice Cityhood Meeting
The Venice Cityhood Committee meets:
7-9 pm Friday, October 22
at 533 Rialto Avenue
(one block west of Abbot Kinney Blvd.)
Why Cityhood?
- Decisions should be made at the local level (Venice)
- L.A. wants to gut its zoning code, say L.A. Neighbors United – www.laneighbors.org
- L.A. dictates rent increases in spite of zero inflation (cpi) – http://bit.ly/cOX341
- Venice libraries, parks, beach, streets and social services suffer with no end in sight due to L.A.’s budget crisis.
Who would benefit?
- Venice residents, 70% of whom are renters.
- Venice businesses who would see their fees stay in the community.
- Venice home owners who would likewise see their property taxes put to use in their community.
- Venice artists who would have a city government friendly to the arts.
- Venice social service organizations who would no longer have to compete with agencies all over L.A. for needed funding.
How do we get started?
- Join us on Oct. 22 and subsequent committee meetings.
- Lend your expertise in research, law, accounting, communications, graphic design and outreach. No skills will be turned away.
- Tell your friends why we need cityhood. Get them involved!
