There are several items in this draft platform that I do not support and I do not think it reflects the priorities of residents of the City of Redondo Beach. The document is not internally consistent: To support Economic Development Item #4 it would be important for the city to support housing development opportunities to have attract and retain workers in the aerospace industry and defense. Thus, the city would want to support housing development in other cities like El Segundo, but this is negated by Housing Item #2 which includes state legislation that would require cities like El Segundo to plan and zone for more housing.
Additionally: I am unclear on the meaning of Public Safety Item #4 particularly with "parking-related funding." I do not support Transportation Item #2 - for public transit systems to work and serve us best, we should enable regional-level planning instead of fragmented local control. I think more can be added to the Transportation section to support active transportation (bike lanes) and public transit more broadly. I would caution against adopting this document for the unintended consequences of a very prescriptive legislative platform. If seeking to represent residents' views, polling should be done on priorities and platforms before proceeding.
