Re “Housing on parking lot could be opportunity for service,” Letters to the Editor,  July 1 issue

Wow! The Beverly Press/Park Labrea News certainly goes well beyond the call of duty in keeping readers informed of the key issues facing our communities.

I think it is your reporting on these issues that keeps so many of us well aware and pushing our elected leaders to show progress. They do want to be reelected.

I hope my letter [in the July 1 issue] directed at Cathedral Chapel School will serve to motivate religious groups to actively participate in making this a better place to live. We can solve the homelessness problem. We can get the elected leaders listening to the voters’ voices rather than focusing on the pockets of the developers.
