Opinion: Plymouth of The West = America’s can-do city!

I think Shawn Brown needs a bit of a reality check. Most of Southern California response to the fire was due to proficient local and state agencies, and had nothing to do with the federal system. Quallcom Stadium didn’t dissolve into the ghetto because local agencies had their act together, and local people chose to act right when put into an emergency situation. Both San Diego, and it’s citizens worked together to make the most out of a horrible fire storm. Could the federal government have done more, of course. But in the end it boils down to local governments, and local citizens stepping up and doing the right thing. Stop trying to turn everything into some type of class or race war. Don’t wait for someone else to come rescue you, do it yourself. PS. Raise the character limits for responses on your website. It’s hard to make a well reasoned response with so few characters.
