As a homeowner in Culver City for the last 14 years, I understand the importance of voting Yes and passing Measure CC next week. Measure CC is an absolute requirement to maintain the superior reputation of our School District, improve the safety of the facilities, and upgrade the classrooms to allow them to take advantage of modern teaching technologies.
Many homeowners make their buying decisions based on the quality of the local school district. The value of any home is directly related to the number of families who want to buy that home. In my case, Measure CC will cost my family around $250 a year or 70 cents a day. On the other hand, the value of my home has increased an average of $40,000/year over the last 14 years. I will gladly invest $250/year for the potential to make a return that is anywhere close to $40,000/year, anytime, any day, anywhere.
If you are on the fence about voting in favor of Measure CC, please consider looking at it as a long term financial investment in both education and our Culver City community. Our kids and our community will be rewarded many times over.
Please join me in voting Yes on Measure CC on June 3.
