Affordable Housing 4 Los AngelesTwelve of my working, voting, paying taxes and good deed doer friends have had developers knock on their doors saying, "I know you've lived here 12 (20; 5; 8, etc) years but you now have eight months to move unless you have a million dollars. Your apartment is now a condo. Have a nice day." There are high rise buildings all over the city with empty apartments. Enough empty apartments to house the 50,000 evacuees from the Porter Ranch Gas Leak. We have 60,000 homeless and no place for them to go. The Porter Ranch people have all gone home. Who are in those empty high-rises? Wealthy foreign students, transient business people, a few local "wealthies," and corporations who keep apartments. WE NEED AFFORDABLE HOUSING for our own tax paying, voting constituents. The governor, the mayor, and our city council can each afford not to be paid that little extra under the table for three years. They may resume their thievery at the end of the three-year moratorium on building non-affordable housing. When we saw a city councilman dressed in a silk suit to negotiate with developers who wanted to build in Los Angeles, we knew he did not want to appease the 200 people gathered outside to oppose it. He was there to impress the developers and design his own pockets. If California is so wonderful, let's prove it. Let's actually do something for the middle and working class people who live here and who actually pay our leaders' salaries and benefits. (I can't afford to buy you a silk suit and I'm not sure the bulk of your constituents can afford it either.) WHO IS MINDING THE STORE? We've got to ourselves. And don't think your vote doesn't count.....it does.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by c mann

End HomelessnessMy ministry at church is outreach. I have seen first hand the homeless issue and it's heartbreaking. Very few people choose to be homeless. Let's ALL show them the respect that they deserve. Give them a job that they can be proud of. Other States have done this and it works.42 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rev. Russ Smethers

Remove the Proposed Housing Element Site#19 from the Encinitas Updated Housing PlanWe believe the proposed housing site, Map ID #19, consisting of 6 lots: 682 Clark Ave, 672 Clark Ave, 672 Clark Ave, 2 x Union Street and 556 Union Street if developed, will result in a substantial increase in traffic in our small neighborhoods and will create a health and safety issue. The proposed development (Map ID #19) is buried in our small neighborhood with access only via our rural, narrow streets which already act in a single lane capacity given the street widths combined with the residential street parking. This is true for ALL access points: Clark Ave, La Mirada Ave, Del Rio Ave, Del Riego Ave, and Union St. Additionally, a housing development is now in construction on Clark with no infrastructure or street development to support the increase in traffic. As such, we the undersigned, given the additional hazards the proposed development will present, and in order to protect our children, maintain the safety of our neighborhood and maintain the quality of life in Leucadia, request the City of Encinitas to remove the proposed at Map ID #19 from the housing plan.33 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Silvia Pezzoli

Save Calistoga's Scenic Entry Corridor: Part TwoThe "Loop" gas station/ convenience store is re-applying with Calistoga to take over the corner of Petrified Forest and Foothill, across the street from the Arco station that is already problematic to people who live in this neighborhood. Our primary concerns are still the same: (1) "Traffic Nightmare." Traffic would increase by an estimated 1,228 cars per day. Anyone who lives in Calistoga knows how backed up this four-way stop gets daily; this increase would greatly worsen that situation. (2) "Commuter Corridor" vs "Scenic Entry to Calistoga." The Loop station would emphasize Calistoga as a quick stopping place for commuters between Lake County and Santa Rosa/ Napa. For visitors and residents, the entry to our historic town would be formulaic and utilitarian, with no respect for the surrounding countryside. (3) "Environmental Impact." Cyrus Creek is an important tributary to the Napa River; runoff from such a huge project with spilled gas and car wash chemicals would be unavoidable. (4) "Quality of Life Impact." The Arco station at that corner already draws a negative influence, including people sleeping in vehicles, drinking/ doing drugs in the parking lot, and dumping trash into Cyrus Creek. A larger gas station would draw a transient crowd looking for a place to sleep overnight in their cars and do drug deals. At the last Commission meeting, the owners of the Loop said they would provide a "400 pound security robot" to monitor the parking lot; the very fact that they need to provide such a thing is a sign that they know there will be problems. Help us slow down the increasingly frantic pace of development in our small town and reconsider what we want our entrances to convey! Sign our petition to let the Planning Commission know that neighbors object, then show up for the meetings (to be announced via email as that information becomes available.) Please pass this petition on to your friends and neighbors.159 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Jen Bennett

Parents & Community Against Proposed Gosnold Acute Dual Diagnosis Facility Within 100 Feet of a P...Concerned because we are unable to find an example of a similar facility being implemented successfully anywhere in the country next to a school. We are concerned over the safety, health, and welfare of our children and the elderly, our most vulnerable populations being directly next door. We have found some rehab facilities near private schools and daycares that have had documented issues, however, none of these facilities is of the same type and caliber of the one being proposed.738 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Amy Leonardi

Investigate, regulate, and monitor child protective servicesI'm reaching out to all patents that have been affected by child protective services as well as those who have not. This agency here in Alaska is stealing our babies based on hearsay, lies, and or faulty questionable "proofs", without legitimate cause and lack of compassion. They blatantly disregard your civil and constitutional rights. They do not adhere to their own policies. They also use outside agencies to conduct "services" on their behalf supposedly due to lack of funding, which violates more civil and constitutional rights. Our children are being neglected and sexually assaulted, and they purposefully ignore or attempt to cover it up. The police, as well as the public defenders, are also included in their treachery! Conducting drug tests through agencies that have been convicted of fraudulently manipulating results to convict parents of neglect; alienating families rather than re-unifying them; damaging families mentally and emotionally repeatedly; racially biased and culturally incompetent employees; stripping you of all parental rights without you even signing them away. Signing this petition is the just thing to do. There needs to be an agency to oversee this section of the government. Did you know that if your child has been harmed while in states care, you are forced to call the same agency to come and investigate the allegations? Would you ask the cookie monster to investigate who stole the cookie from the cookie jar? No other establishment or agency should be able to hold the power that CPS does. Please stand with me in this battle to protect those we cherish most.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Alisha NShinn
