a young adult novel I wrote that ended up —through writing it — asking a lot of questions about decolonization and justice.

The fact that he delayed in getting back to us … only proves his willful avoidance … and now he’s forfeited his opportunity to truly support us … If Jon Kaji really supported us.Our need is that we do not want to have their cell towers so close to our homes.

I’ve lived here 50 years and you can believe that I’m going to talk to my neighbors and friends.If I had some confidence that Crown Castle actually researched for a more feasible alternative site beyond the immediate property.Given the 5-1 vote to deny the appeal.

we werent clear what options Kaji actually had … We are truly disappointed in Jon Kaji …We are still protecting our neighborhood by picketing in front of the proposed cell tower site.this is much further away from homes.

And also … that closed-door meeting session is not kosher because we don’t know what’s going on and you have to be more transparent with what’s going on.

We pushed very hard for Jon Kaji to work with us in bringing a motion to reconsider our case.then later bought their first home in the Crenshaw area.

but somehow Rafu Bussan managed.as well as Skip’s remaining siblings:Tom Kawaratani (99).

but did enjoy Japanese music and later enka (ballads).right when commercial real estate was hot.
