#  Many People United Can Make a Big Noise

![](https://ded2209.inmotionhosting.com/~citywa9/images/stories/Jan-2015/05u.png)VOICES- ([Re ‘Los Angeles is Killing Business …](https://ded2209.inmotionhosting.com/~citywa9/lead-stories-hidden/8198-los-angeles-is-killing-business-one-improvement-district-at-a-time)) Hardly surprising I'm afraid to say. It appears no area of LA taxpayers are immune from some kind of City Hall Hustle.

I wonder if there is a Neighborhood Council or community coalition group in Leimert Park who could organize to make some noise over this?

This sounds completely unfair to local business owners, not to mention, unethical. It seems the City is very adept at finding the right loophole for every scenario, in an effort to gouge each community throughout LA.

It's time we all pushed back and came together as concerned citizens of this city. Many people united can make big noise. We, in Venice, are doing just that!

Please get organized people of Leimert Park! Enough is enough.

(V.Nice lives in the Venice community.)
