I like the susan Herridge letter, and I expect that a good neighborhood group and meetings that are productive in solving community problems and making significant improvements is a likely thing, though in the politics intensive city, look at the record;  look at Franklin/Chicago Aves.  Your kids can go there any time and buy any dope they want and maybe get killed in the process, --this while there has been a Phillips neighborhood group for decades and receiving and spending millions of dollars.  Do they want those drug dealers out there? 
     Then you got Whittier Alliance, been there since early 1970's.  The area has changed a lot but thats because the Asians and Latinos came in, while the WA with their economics guy, stood there like storm victims, NRP and other taxpayers money sifting through their hands.
