Not my video, but showed up on my feed. sharing for visibility. Girl gets harassed by a bunch of white guys on a tennis court and gets called a “crazy asian”

EDIT: If you wanna see a some defensive people, scroll down to the downvoted comments and you’ll see people swearing up and down that the person who took the video deserves it, that “Crazy Asian” is innocuous, or claiming that this is not illegal so therefore it is not racist (??)

Right wing groups and corporations are trying to buy Torrance campaigns. Instead of talking to the community, they are sending you junk mail hoping they can buy your vote. Don’t let them. Torrance is not for sale.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to address a recent post that accused me of deleting political and real estate posts on this subreddit. I want to be completely clear: I have not deleted any posts related to those topics, and I try my best to moderate fairly and equally for everyone regardless of opinions or viewpoints.

The original user ended up deleting their own post after I reached out to them to discuss the situation. Unfortunately, before that happened, the accusation gained a lot of traction and many people immediately assumed it was true. And now, probably assume that I deleted that post too.

Honestly, that was disappointing to see.

If anyone ever has concerns about moderation decisions, I’m always open to respectful conversation and clarification. I’d rather address issues directly than have misinformation spread unchecked. If anyone is interested in helping me moderate this subreddit I am all for it.

Thanks to everyone who continues contributing positively to the community.

Anyone else almost always get hit when getting off on the northbound 405 crenshaw exit?

We have people in the middle left turn lane cutting you off to get to the left turn onto Crenshaw ( red) and people cutting you off on the left turn lane to get to the straight or right turn lanes onto Crenshaw (blue)

C'mon, Torrance! We gotta stop the rising MAGA tide. That means voting out Chen, Matucci & Kaji. We can do this!

What is something you are better at than everyone else in Torrance?

I’m David Kartsonis and this is part two of a video about how the last four years in Torrance have damaged our local economy. I’m here in front of the vacant building that used to be Sony Honda Mobility - also known as Afeela. My opponent calls this his largest achievement, but this businesses and those like this don’t make any sense for Torrance. Sony Honda Mobility was open here for literally just a few days before closing and leaving our city with nothing to show for it. If it had stayed open, it would have brought us negligible revenue due to the way distribution centers are taxed. Let’s talk about Friendship Cities and how converting Torrance to be a “Micro-nation” is leading us to have a “micro-economy.” If you watched my last video, you know I was endorsed by BizFedPAC. Bizfed represents 420,000 employers in Southern California. You also learned why people are calling our Torrance economy stagnant at best and failing at worst. What’s the cause? In short - the Friendship Cities Program backed by my opponent Jon Kaji.

This program started 4 years ago when my opponent took office. The first Friendship City was - unsurprisingly enough, our Mayor’s hometown. This program has ballooned to costing residents hundreds of thousands of dollars to fund all expense paid city council international trips. As a result of all this investment, Torrance has seen $0 in return and 0 new businesses. The biggest benefit being touted for this program is that it will allow the taxpayers of the City of Torrance to subsidize the Taiwanese national team when they’re in LA for the 28 Olympics.

Now, if this all sounds bad, we haven’t gotten to the bad part yet. The bad part is how many of our city staff members - especially those in the Economic Development department have been repurposed to serve as essentially glorified travel agents for some of our Councilmembers. This is where Torrance really is impacted. When our Economic Development Department isn’t doing economic development, Torrance loses. We lose businesses, we lose jobs, and we lose revenue. Most people estimate that Torrance has lost millions of dollars in revenue due to this disastrous economic development policy. After the last report of the failings of friendship cities, my opponent decided to double down and increased their travel budget by $70,000! Worst of all, those $70,000 in Friendship travel funds don’t even need to be used on approved Friendship Cities. This is the definition of a Council slush fund where they are able to use those funds to travel anywhere in the world with no justification required.

We’re at a point now where sales tax is no longer funding our city services, but instead the property taxes of our residents. We need to reverse that trend.

It’s time to put to an end this self serving program and get Torrance back to being a leader in the business community.
