Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Montebello public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Prohousing Designation Program participation
Speakers described homelessness and the lack of wheelchair-accessible, affordable housing in Montebello, urging the council to act despite community opposition to new housing projects.
Court-ordered approval of 301 Jackamar housing project
A judge ruled the city's denial of developer Bill Molinari's project violated the Housing Accountability Act, so the council had to implement the court order approving it. Residents are furious — many collected hundreds of signatures against the 15-unit project and feel the city's legal defense failed them.
