Buckle up! Long read ahead. 🙂 How We Got Here For almost a year we’ve been in an uproar in our community over our Community Plan Update (“CPU”). For those of us who have lived in our community for a long time, we readily recognized that this CPU was unlike any other in the past.…

A poster on Nextdoor recently asked about status for our Community Plan Update (“CPU”), and the comments surprised me. I saw a deep misunderstanding in our community about housing policy in this state and what is facing us here in LA and more specifically, Westchester/Playa. I’m not really surprised about the widespread misunderstanding. We’re being…

This Commercial…

Traci turned up at last week’s Neighborhood Council meeting to give a personal Government Affairs update from her office. During her remarks she came out strong on her commitment to support us in defining our own community in connection with our Community Plan Update (CPU).

Sleepy Kentwood, Big Impacts Kentwood is a place I’ve called home for over 20 years. My husband and I were newlyweds and expecting our first baby when we bought our home. The community is roughly bounded by Sepulveda, the Kentwood Bluffs, McConnell/Georgetown and Manchester. Kentwood is predominantly made up of a 3400 property homeowners association…

Unfortunately, only half the people who came could get into the room due to capacity restrictions. Traci Park vowed to support us in…

And a huge thank you to our…
