  • [email protected]> Subject: Tenant at 3032 Wilshire
    From: Mari Newhoff <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, July 17, 2020 2:40 PM To: Planning <[email protected]> Subject: Tenant at 3032 Wilshire EXTERNAL  Dear Planning Commission: I am writing to voice my concerns about the potential new convenience store tenant in the 3032 Wilshire building. The convenience store will create a lot of headaches for the residential neighborhood to which it is adjacent. When Bristol Farms came in, it elevated the neighborhood followed by Erewhon and Trader Joe’s. After the investment of creating such a beautiful building, the first tenant should not be one that has the potential to downgrade the neighborhood. There are five 7/11s within a mile of this project: such as Santa Monica and Sawtelle, Wilshire and Bundy, Santa Monica and Wellesley – not one of them is inviting from a consumer standpoint. They are all littered with trash and a haven for the homeless. AND if this is the first anchor tenant, I fear it will scare off prospective Class A tenants which the neighborhood desperately need such as bakeries or restaurants. After living through the inconsiderate construction which began as early as 6:30am most days, the neighborhood was looking forward to a little class. I am pleading with you to reconsider. Best, Mari Newhoff 1230 Berkeley Street To: [email protected] Sent: Sat, Jul 18, 2020 1:31 pm Subject: New Business - PLEASE No! Santa Monica Planning, I am a home owner in the 1200 block of Berkeley Street in Santa Monica. I am writing to respectfully protest against a new business, potentially planned for the new building on the southwest corner of Berkeley Street and Wilshire Blvd.

Members of Erewhonian society are all obliged to sign a document at birth admitting that they have chosen to be born of their own free will, and obliging them to indemnify their parents for any trouble it may cause them.

Other appealing ideas are the inverted treatment of crime and physical illness: if you embezzle money, you're given medical treatment, but anyone foolish enough to contract pneumonia is sent to jail. It's still a fun read! View all 15 comments. Erewhon as a novel has a fairly thin but still interesting plot line in an intriguing environment. Unfortunately, meshing the two of these together makes for a difficult book to swallow at times.
