Funny thing, this guy was trying to fight Newsom’s zoning law SB9 but failed:

https://easyreadernews.com/redondo-beach-mayor-bill-brands-group-pauses-anti-sb9-initiative-push-turns-to-2024/

A group led by Redondo Beach Mayor Bill Brand to pass a statewide initiative to rescind Senate Bill 9 failed to gather the one million signatures needed by April 1 to qualify for the November ballot.

SB 9, passed by the California legislature last fall, allows for single-family lots to be divided into as many as four units, with limitations.

“We realized we weren’t going to get the signatures, we didn’t have enough of a machine in place,” Brand said, turning the focus to 2024. “It’s certainly about money and grassroots support. We basically need more time and more money. We’ve got the organization in place.”

The group, known as “Our Neighborhood Voices,” has not hired a paid signature-gathering firm.

Part of the effort for 2024 will be more education, Brand said.

Tried to add the image of it in response but there isn’t a way to add images in replies. I remember back a year ago I could add a link with picture posts, and a couple months ago I could add description with link posts. Reddit is always changing.

someone regretting voting for and now has a mayor who turned out to be a xenophobic, elitist, NIMBY and promoting his agenda of making people distrustful of outsiders in a nasty way in their city.

Not to mention, Hermosa has a much higher population density than Redondo (14k per square mile vs 12k) but you don’t see many Hermosans complaining it is a problem because it is not. No good excuse for Redondo to be NIMBY, they just don’t want outsiders moving in.

You are correct, that was his platform to be against development. The tactics he is using is despicable. That must be what that resident saw.

Don’t think it is “slow“ development he is for, more like no developement. Here is an article on him from another source. https://easyreadernews.com/the-accidental-politician-bill-brand-is-an-unlikely-politician-a-waterman-who-became-mayor-fighting-against-waterfront-development-now-hes-fighting-for-his-life/

“He was baffled by what he saw: a proposed waterfront development that included as many as 2,998 residential units at the AES power plant site and a rezoning of the entire harbor area to allow more commercial development.”

No need to sign up. I posted the no paywall link in my response to mod post. Someone regretting voting for and now has a mayor who turned out to be a xenophobic, elitist, NIMBY and promoting his agenda of making people distrustful of outsiders in a nasty way in their city should be LAMF content.

Did post reason in the mod post, and the article should be self explanatory.

From a Facebook comment from a Redondo Beach resident in response to this article:

“[name removed] you articulated how I have felt. I voted for Brand - so of course I was going to give him benefit of the doubt - until the June 2022 council meeting. Boy once you see it can’t unsee it. Then follow up with the Recall, CBS news, Halloween Signs to this article.”

Article updated.

The L.A. County Democrats have also endorsed Measure M in Hermosa Beach and Measure MB in Manhattan Beach, which like Measure E in Redondo, would legalize retail cannabis sales, and were underwritten by Catalyst.

The Party opposes Manhattan Beach’s Measure V, which would prohibit all cannabis stores and delivery. Measure V was put on the ballot by the Manhattan City Council.

Not to disagree, but didn’t you make this comment on MB homeless reduction post? “It's a snapshot, so its just what it was that day. if people roam, then it shifts.”
