Livable Places Opens Its Doors Santa Monica
We wanted to let you know that things are happening at Livable Places!
After two years of hard work by our Board of Directors, Livable Places
has hired staff, opened an office and launched a new website (

busy making offers on land for our first development project and digging
in on our public education and policy work.
