Save Our Community was founded in the movement to resist Wal-Mart's development in Rosemead, California. Now, it has become a general site for news, information, gossip, talk, and blogging about Rosemead. We also have stories about South San Gabriel, San Gabriel, Montebello, and occasionally about Pico Rivera, El Monte, South El Monte, Alhambra, Temple City, and other nearby communities. Your host is Todd. If you want a blog just sign up, get approved, and start writing. Good posts will be moved onto the home page.
"A scam"
I believe Yaffe called it "a scam" to first, say the 24 hours doesn't matter, then, to cut the hours back (implying that it does matter), then to take that back and go to 24 hours again. (I need to be double-checked on this. That's how I heard it there, in the courtroom.)
Just as an exercise, I tried once, a long time ago, to see how many good arguments (outside of tax revenues) there are for siting a Wal-Mart, or any large commercial retail business, in that site. There were some, but, offices still seemed to have more potential. For one, more office workers could translate into potential business opportunities along the seemingly-neglected San Gabriel Blvd. and Garvey Blvd. Also, Countrywide is using shuttles because there's not enough parking for them. Perhaps additional parking would be another use.
