How about those love-bird California Sycamores? Will we ever have a new Police Chief? And then there's "medical" marijuana... Just another day in Mid City. MidCityNeighbors.org Questions from residents: -Update on Bird Scooters: The basic who, what, why overview. (We were nearly hit by two in the past week so curious what’s up with them.) -Update on Legal Marijuana and the Law (We encountered 8 men smoking a 12 inch bong on the bluffs next to road down to the Pier so curious what the city is doing to curb public smoking.) –What's with all the demolition of our corner retail shops? –Can we ever build enough housing? –Can we stop the auto dealerships from taking up all the parking?
