Help Rescue The Redondo Beach Waterfront; Revitalize, not Supersize
ROW has fought hard and won major battles, but it’s far from over. CenterCal is on the run after ROW supported a major legal appeal to end their $15 Million lawsuit against Redondo Beach. That lawsuit was a direct result of Redondo Beach City Council Members Christian Horvath and Laura Emdee rushing a vote to […]
Travis & Voisey want truth? Uh, no … they want $550,000!!! Yesterday in a downtown LA courtroom, Arnette Travis stated she and Chris Voisey would drop the frivolous lawsuit they filed against Mayor Bill Brand, his volunteer Treasurer Linda Moffat, Council Member Nils Nehrenheim and ROW President Wayne Craig, if they paid them $550,000. We told them what they could do with that notion. CenterCal’s apparent proxies Travis and Voisey’s attorney is […]
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).

Given that this lake/wetland area has hosted coal-fired, unrefined oil-burning, refined oil-burning and natural gas-fired steam and power plants for 100 years, this seems […]
If you live anywhere around Redondo or Hermosa Beach, you will be rewarded by taking a close look at this very interesting picture. I’ll give you a few minutes… This is a newspaper advertisement promoting two Hermosa Beach ballot measures in November 1962, which would change zoning in the city to allow high-rise residential buildings […]
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 […]
