Carson OKs used-car lot

A Carson city ordinance that has lasted at least three decades finally broke under the weight of the nation's slumping car market and resulting drop in municipal sales tax revenue.

Used car dealerships might infringe on Carson's image as a refinery town or the "slap heard around the world".

Carson must be beneath Hawthorne. They even have a Costco.

The merchants in Torrance probably can't wait either. Shop lifting should drop and prices will come done.

Because Carson is becoming another Compton! Can't really blame Costo or any other major company.

We need to address the serious negative issues in Carson instead of practicing the art of deception. Saying that Carson is good community at this particular point in time would in fact be a lie.

Our Mayor and City Council need to do something to fight crime and gang violence or it is all B.S. and a smoke screen that reputable companies like Costco can see through!

Carson appears to have been informally annexed by the city of Compton!

Might be the reality check Carson Residents Require! Not saying that your comment is true but the perception makes it's point!

Stadiums are usually built in low income areas. They are the only ones that want them. Your universtiy can't even get enought students there to fill the seats. No one wants to go there.

North Carson is not low income for your information. And CSUDH fills enough seats to keep it in business. I am glad small-minded people like you are staying away though but there are plenty of people who want and do go there.

My son is looking at colleges for this coming fall and CSUDH is willing to offer the most in financial aid. They told me they are doing this to try to attract more students to fill empty seats. How many people live in North Carson? Ten. I think I will stay here in Hawthorne and do my buisiness in the Beach cites and in Torrance. That way I don't have to worry about gang bangers shooting me while I shop.

Henry, you have a valid concern because as a long time Carson resident, I also have the same concerns!

When I visit my friends in Redondo Beach and some OC cities, I am amazed at how clean and beautiful their communities are in comparison to Carson.

When I return to Carson and see the Blight and Gang Bangers walking around with no fear of the Sheriff’s Department, I know that Carson is doomed to be another Compton!

Our City is turning into just another Ghetto!

I live in Hawthorne & it has just as many GANG BANGERS AS CARSON. I only shop at Costco in Hawthorne. I do not shop in Torrance or Hawthorne. I go Manhattan Beach wonderful Customer Service & I am Black & do not get dirty looks.

I don't care what happens in Torrance. Don't live there and never did. I would rather be a red neck rather than a Carson gang bankger.

That must be the reason crime is on the rise in MB.
