Pallet homes fine where they are, says RB council

Pallet homes fine where they are, says RB council SHARE by Rachel Reeves The Redondo Beach City Council voted Tuesday night to keep the pallet homes, which currently houses formerly unhoused people, where it is on Kingsdale Ave. in North Redondo Beach. The pallet homes opened in December of last year thanks to pandemic-related relief funding. The plan proposed last October was for them to remain in North Redondo for six months, and then to discuss an extension or relocation. There was some back-and-forth about the northern and southern parts of Redondo Beach sharing the responsibility of hosting the portable housing units.

Redondo Beach seeks home for homeless Pallet House people

Letters to the Editor: 7-1-2021

Dear ER: Manhattan Beach Mayor Suzanne Hadley, Councilman Richard Montgomery and the rest of the city council did not do their homework when they voted to support the recall of Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon, led by former D.A. Steve Cooley (“Former DA leads recall rally,” Easy Reader June 10, 2021). The documentary “Crime After Crime” is an expose’ of Cooley’s role in blocking the release of Debbie Peagler, a Black survivor of domestic violence, wrongly convicted of the murder of her abusive boyfriend turned pimp. She was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison, and served 21 of these years. Two decades after her sentencing, the two men who committed the crime were identified. Uncovered by pro bono, was the fact that the D.A. had no evidence to justify the plea bargain offered Peagler. She was told to “take the deal” — prison for life — or take a chance on being executed. Young Peagler, who had a history of emotional abuse and physical battery, accepted the deal, motivated by concern for her six-year-old daughter. The D.A.’s office’s internal memo revealed the lie behind Peagler’s coerced deal. This memo should have opened the door to charges of prosecutor misconduct. Over and over, the documentary shows Cooley attempting to block the release of  Peagler, who had an exemplary record in prison, earning an Associates degree. In a letter to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, Cooley questioned the parole board’s decision to release Peagler, and delayed her release, well aware that she was terminally ill. L.A. County Attorney George Gascon is the polar opposite of Cooley. He initiated the formation of an independent Factual Analysis Citizen Consulting Team (FACCT), composed of community members, civil rights attorneys, scholars, and police practices experts to investigate fatal use of force incidents by law enforcement officers. This was announced on the day of Gascon’s inauguration. I wonder why former D.A. Cooley is pushing to unseat such a simpatico D.A. as George Gascon, who is working for the greater good of our communities?

LETTERS: Opinion ads, Candidate gratitude and Housing mandates: Week of May 20

Re: “An Open Apology to Ercoles,” advertisement in  The Beach Reporter, 5/13/21 It is presumptuous to presume what businesses would or would not have survived and why; or if the displaced families would have sold their property long before it produced the wealth that today’s owners have reaped. Simply put, the Bruce family was not allowed to try. Many of your arguments are solid, based on the historical examples you used with one very basic flaw. Unlike Chavez Ravine, eminent domain was exercised on the owners of Bruce’s Beach to rid Manhattan Beach of people of color. The presumed action was for what was determined to be a much-needed park. That park, upon which the whole “process” was based, was not built until decades later. It was a racist act that LA County, not the city of Manhattan Beach, has deemed worthy of addressing. I applaud them for doing so.
