Breeze:
I have friends that say why don’t we just convert salty ocean water into drinking water? Huntington Beach is building a seawater desalination plant that will provide drinking water to supply 100,000 homes (basically the size of Ventura). The problem is the cost which is about $1billion. A bit more than Ventura can afford.

Recent News has published that K-Mart in Santa Paula, and Sears in Ventura will soon be closing, as have K-Mart in Camarillo.
These buildings should be repurposed for housings. One really good thing is there is plenty of parking, which is always a major concern in new builds.
Please don’t allow these buildings to be shuttered and become an eyesore. As a citizen, I would encourage and challenge these cities to partner with developers to immediately construct affordable housing; and, don’t forget green spaces.

I just renewed my driver’s license with the DMV on Market in Ventura. (is anything worse then sitting there for many many hours with a lot of depressed people?). Very strange to me is that they made me read the letters by covering one eye. How many of us drive with one eye closed? I did like the machine testing that gives immediate results of pass-fail of the questions. So glad that is over for another 5-years.
