Which communities
Dear Editor,
It is interesting, and possibly a small scary, to spot our assemblage looking to redistrict based connected “Communities of Interest.”
I hold colonisation information should beryllium utilized to insure due practice successful the city. Glad to spot this is being reviewed.
But it is simply a small concerning that redistricting is happening based connected groups that are protected nether our Civil Rights — race, sex, age, etc.
Long Beach is 1 of the astir divers communities successful the world. And that is 1 of the reasons it is 1 of the champion places to live. That is my opinion, but 1 I judge and anticipation is shared by a bulk of our town.
If “ Communities of Interest” are utilized arsenic ground this clip versus immoderate physical, geographic oregon different accepted determinations — adjacent airport, adjacent the port, adjacent water, adjacent freeways — who knows what the aboriginal explanation volition be. What if it is based connected what you look like, what you believe, who you similar alternatively of a divers Long Beach assemblage that addresses issues with our neighbors, nary substance what bucket you are enactment in.
