    John Allee, a Santa Monica business owner, has introduced a controversial new initiative aimed at addressing homelessness in Los Angeles County by offering unhoused individuals free one-way plane tickets to reunite with their families or return to their hometowns.

    Santa Monica, once celebrated for its blend of coastal charm and progressive ideals, is slowly bleeding out — not from one dramatic failure, but from a thousand small, systemic ones. Mismanagement, unchecked spending, and leadership bloat are gradually eroding the city’s ability to function, let alone thrive. While the public is told that resources are limited, executive compensation continues to soar. 

    We demand accountability for homelessness, public safety, and infrastructure!
