Diversity is not a label, its a fact. Why not let people see Seaside as a growth zone and not a city lead by baffons. You're right that the city council looks like a bunch of buffoons, but you need to learn to spell. Every community has a culture. That's what evolves naturally anywhere people get together, be it on a large scale or a small one.
Culture defines a city's image.
People flock to Carmel, Monterey and Pacific Grove because those cities have distinct characteristics which can be found nowhere else on earth. These cities nurture their cultures through public policies including strict architectural review, historic preservation policies, and careful land use planning. They also actively sponsor and facilitate cultural events that reflect and enhance their individual community identity. We have had some success with public cultural events and we need to encourage that. If we are unable to do that we will always be considered a low-class community.
