Over the last several months neighborhood leaders in La Jolla and throughout San Diego have been meeting and conferring about the planning and financial crisis in our City. Our discussion has focused on the underlying failures of city government and on ways and means to correct the problems. In so doing, we have identified a number of basic concerns, which are listed below. We ask you to review, add to or comment upon this list. Our goal is to create a community action plan and a neighborhood alliance to reform our city government. (NEIGHBORHOOD ALLIANCE TO REFORM SAN DIEGO CITY GOVERNMENT)

Please review the following list we developed based upon many years of experience with our City government. We have spent countless hours attending community planning meetings and discussing these issues. Have you experienced any or other of these problems in your efforts to work with your planning and community leaders in dealing with our City government? Please give us your feedback.
