NEWPORT BEACH TALKS GOALS
Link
There's much in the above linked Daily Pilot article that should also be of interest to Costa Mesans on a philosophy of government level. 

For example, there's talk about running Newport like a business. That's also being discussed in Costa Mesa.

And, Newport's police chief talks about how fixing up West Newport (the bad part of Newport) helps reduce crime and how areas where things aren't fixed usually have the highest crime rates.  Of course, this is the broken window principle, but it is worth repeating.

And speaking of bad areas and fixing things, we hope the Costa Mesa City Council puts more resources and thinking into fixing the Westside of our city. 

Also, just as a reminder, there are some very good Westside plans sitting on shelves in City Hall, that the new Council should be looking at for a direction for the Westside.

If you don't live on Costa Mesa's Eastside and if you haven't driven the area in recent years, you really should do so.  The Eastside is now about as much like Newport Beach as can be imagined, both in the way the area looks and also because of all the young upwardly mobile families that have moved there.
