Phil Brock for SMart (The Budget Hits the Fan)
Wow! Our city faces unprecedented amounts of high drama over the next seven weeks as a byproduct of the COVID-19 crisis.

Residents and businesses are struggling to survive in Santa Monica. We know our lives will change as a result of this pandemic. In this time of crisis, we must focus on our town’s quality of life. Anyone blindly calling for increased development as a way of fixing the city budget is suggesting a grave disservice to all residents.
