I have to agree with Melissa, there are many opportunities out there and it's about not giving up the fight! Unfortunately, I also have felt the weight of the economic situation, and have had to get re-invigorated into living in the moment. One of the local stories that inspired me at the end of 2009 was the El Sereno struggle to save Elephant Hill. My family's home neighbors this landscape, and I was seeing the real threat of development looming. This time, after a 25 year old struggle, the city came through! In November, the Los Angeles city council voted to buy this land that will be transformed into a nature preserve. What was going to be a 56 lot development is now going to be a park! After seeing the struggle of the South Central Farmers, it was exciting to see something unravel positively for the community. The locals also know this place as the Heavens, so perhaps we had a little more than the usual help...
