'CLEAR CUT' CLAREMONT

A lot has happened in CLAREMONT, THE TOWN THAT PRETENDS IT'S A CITY, since my last  posting(s).  The city has updated its website apparently, done some 'clear-cutting' of trees in several areas, had some changes in street repairs and designs, some elections and tax changes to the fiscal year, and a lot of continuing problems that seem to have no answers and possibility of solutions,for the usual reasons, one of which, is, of course, public apathy and ignorance as well as the 'usual suspects' holding  various offices and positions. 

The new school superintendent ,for example,  has come under fire for some basic getting off on the wrong foot approach due to his assumptions about Claremont and its peoples. Also, the demographics of CLAREMONT have changed a great deal and more houses are up for sale than ever before.

Places to LEASE OR RENT are at an all-time high as are 'ROOMS FOR RENT'  but the job 'market' or 'work opportunities' are still scarce and what exist are obviously 'MINIMUM WAGE' affairs.
