IF A NEW RESIDENT JUST OUT OF COLLEGE GETS IT, WHY CANT OUR COUNCIL? From Easy Reader Article on City Council Meeting: Martin Holmes, a new Redondo Beach resident who studied aerospace engineering at MIT, framed the situation in terms he knows well and ultimately advocated for a “focused” urban plan. “What I have come to realize in the debate so far tonight is that everything needs a plan,” Holmes said. “If I’m building an airplane or a satellite, I can use the best tires, the best wings, the best batteries, the best avionics, but if it’s not well integrated together, it may not work very well….I was close friends with the chairman of MIT’s Department of Urban Studies and Planning, and, in my relationship with him, it’s clear that there’s a reason that urban planning exists as a profession — to make sure all the pieces fit well together….We really need a focused urban plan.”
