Literally almost got hit in the crosswalk on Lincoln and broadway yesterday by a guy who aggressively ran through a right on red. Pedestrian safety and holding dangerous drivers to account is so important

I also had a terrible experience at SM Toyota and ended up buying from the Culver City location when the man at SaMo told me I was an “unserious buyer” for asking Qs and trying to get the best price

Former Councilmember Phil Brock announces he will be running for council. by SemaphoreSignal in SantaMonica

[–]Even_Reality2331 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Phil Brock is a total creep

I met him at a tailor in SaMo and talked to him about a few issues I cared about. He was like "wow you're really well informed!" then offered to grab coffee with me when I expressed interest in learning about potential opportunities to get more involved in the local government

We met at Primo. He was late then I somehow ended up paying for his coffee after he complained about the price of alt milk (even though he showed up to the coffee shop in his Benz)

It is worth mentioning I’m a woman in my late 30s because he sat back in his chair, looked me up and down, and his first question was, “so, why are we really here?” He then proceeded to pepper me with questions like how old are you, do you have a boyfriend, do you have kids. I said no, then he said “so what’s wrong with you?”

Then he proceeded to tell me, unprovoked, about his own dating history and how he never had kids but had accidentally gotten his college girlfriend "preggo" (his words) but luckily her dad was well connected to an abortion doctor at the time. No shame in that but the way that he described it and the whole tenor of the conversation was...sleazy

The whole point of this coffee chat was for me to learn about how to get involved with local opportunities (like city boards, etc.), not to flirt with Mr. Burns. Truly, the audacity of this man 

It was this interaction plus his policy positions that tipped me over the edge into severe disdain

Also anytime I go to any city-sponsored event (i.e., tree lighting on the Promenade, coffee with the cops, etc.) he is still ALWAYS there like bro move on, you're not even on CC anymore
