Pro: "Ocean Avenue needs hotels for the convention and tourist trade generating income for the city. There are many attractions such as the pier, restaurants, mall and the Santa Monica Place that would benefit those businesses."

Con: "We have too many already and the average person that lives in this city cannot afford to live in them. What is affordable when the average price for a single is $1,500 a month when someone is working a minimum wage job and going to school at the same time? Affordable would be $500 a month, but this is not going to happen in Santa Monica. People are fed up being taken advantage and lied to by the City Council and their shenanigans."

Con: "Four or five stories would be acceptable in the Downtown area."

Con: "No, we need a family oriented, year round ice rink on that spot. There is too much overdevelopment of high rise buildings going on in this city already."

Con: "How? Unless they build them underground."

Con: "Use the vacant offices that we have."

Con: "They have increased traffic and congestion in this city rather than solve the problem."

Con: "Bike lanes on Pico and Ocean Park need to be eliminated. There is too much congestion on those thorough fares that emergency vehicles such as the police and fire department can't get through. Broadway, Colorado, Arizona and some of the East-West Streets are much safer for the cyclists. Olympic is good as well as the streets have dual lanes in both directions."

Pro: "It generates 270 Million dollars a year for the City as well as being the home to numerous businesses: Aviation and Non-Aviation. It is also needed as an emergency center and runway in case of a natural disaster in Santa Monica and the surrounding cities."

Con: "That's like saying go ahead and use my car, but there's no gas in it. Besides, if the governor of California decides to pay us a visit in his jet or if the President lands in Marine One (his helicopter) and we can’t refuel their aircraft it certainly makes Santa Monica look inept."

Con: "For big business and corporations, yes. For the independent mom and pop business, no."

Con: "Santa Monica has enough problems without adding to them."

Pro: "More police patrols and presence is needed especially with the Metrolink arriving."

Con: "More needs to be done by educating them and finding them jobs."

Not Clearly Pro or Con: "Keep the employees we have now for services, but hire part time employees with health and medical benefits. Should older employees retire, teen the part time employees can become full time moving up with job experience."
