I agree totally with Steven Trevino Jr. in his March 16 letter concerning his "Downtown prescription." The powers that be had better start trying to figure out who they serve and the demographics of the downtown area. If most of that area is populated by Hispanics and African Americans, then the city should be undertaking programs and services that make sense to them.
Every city is always trying to spend millions of dollars trying "to bring back downtown." I have not seen anywhere that it really worked. The key is to keep it the way you want it in the first place and not allow growth to "sprawl." Visalia figured it out several years ago, but nobody seems to want to copy them. Listen to Mr. Trevino. He has a good, common-sense plan.
