I love what the Alhambra Source is trying to do. But I also recognize how incredibly hard it will be to get a critical mass of people on the same page to improve the community.
There’s a reason why that families that “come up” move to nicer communities – and it’s not because they suddenly think they’re superior (or at least, not only because of that reason). It’s because nicer cities have nicer systems.
The Source is essentially trying to build a framework for the Alhambra/SGV community to self-organize and improve itself from the ground up. I am hopeful but success is not guaranteed.
