Help Rescue The Redondo Beach Waterfront; Revitalize, not Supersize
Measure C Victory Party Wednesday August 15 (Yes THIS Wednesday) 7 p.m. at Sambas 207 N Harbor Drive Redondo Beach Last Thursday night, the California Coastal Commission approved Redondo Beach’s Ballot Measure C regarding development on our pier and harbor, passed by the Redondo Beach voters by a margin of 14% in the March […]
Redondo Beach is under assault. Your neighbors are being personally sued by a mall developer, and they need your help! Redondo Beach residents are being individually sued by mall developers attempting to suppress opposition to their huge mall project on public land that belongs to you. It’s up to you to stand up against these […]
A well-known Facebook troll posted a response to Councilman Nils Nehrenheim’s alert to his constituents that the City’s moratorium on new mixed-use high-density development projects had not been extended by the City Council, despite a 3-2 vote in favor (it required a minimum 4-1 minimum vote).

$9 million in Redondo Beach taxpayer money wasted in a wasteful and arrogant government act
Here is the real estate agents’ online listing of the Redondo Beach AES Power Plant property. It appears innocent enough, except it states that the zoning is “Generating Plant”. Any zoning change to that property is subject to approval by vote of the Redondo Beach residents. So, an unwitting prospective purchaser would think that the […]
Last November, the Redondo Beach Mayor, City Council, LA County Supervisor Janice Hahn, State Assemblyman Al Muratsuchi, and State Senator Ben Allen’s representatives announced plans to acquire the 51-acre AES Power-Plant site. They plan to coordinate state and county funding sources so this would create no new taxes for Redondo residents. Everyone is very excited […]
Keep King Harbor a Harbor! Here is the project in it’s full glory. Almost $400 million, doubling the traffic, massive movie theater. The incredibly shrinking seaside lagoon, ONE THIRD of which is being paved over with a private road, parking and four buildings being built on actual parkland. Help us preserve our Harbor, keep King […]
