Save the LA Eco-Village Neighborhood from LAUSD bulldozers!

This petition was published by Michelle on Jan 18, 2008

We, the undersigned supporters of White House Place and S. Madison Ave.
neighborhoods are opposed to the elimination of their housing for a new school.

As part of the Los Angeles Eco-Village, the residents have been good neighbors to
the current White House Place Primary Center. We believe that the larger
neighborhood is adequately served by already existing schools of Frank del Olmo
and Virgil Middle school located just one block away.

If an additional school is necessary in this district, we believe it should be built
on non-residential sites and be located closest to the children it is intended to
serve so that they can walk to school.

We believe in preserving the historically significant housing, built in the early
1900s in support of the Bimini Baths. Some of the residents are working closely
with other neighbors on the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED Neighborhood
Development Pilot Project to document sustainable community development
practices in this existing neighborhood.

At a time when affordable housing is such a desperate need in our city, neither
LAUSD nor neighborhood residents should have to choose between housing and
schools. We stand united in this struggle with other groups in Los Angeles.
