Dear Reader/s, I would like to read an article about Judy and everything that she has done for Golden Hill. I talked to a teacher that used to work for Brooklyn Elementary (before it was turned into the Einstein Academy) and she said that back in the day Judy used to do all kinds of fundraising and grantwriting for the school too. It leads me to ask, what and how much has she REALLY done for the community? I don't think I could name a person who is more in touch with the community-- socially or economically-- than Judy. She's a ex-social worker who isn't afraid of dealing directly with the poor, the gangs, and other "undesirables." If anything it sounds like it is more of a passion of hers TO DEAL with them. She seriously laments that the area has become TOO gentrified. She's genuinely sorry that the poor people got pushed out. -- Note: Anyone that want's to argue that, "poor people still live here" should focus their argument against the article's claims not Judy's. It is a major theme of this article that the area has gentrified i.e. House prices go up, gangs/crime goes down, poor people pushed out. Judy is just calling things as she sees it.-- She's a local business owner that is sensitive to the business climate of the area AND is still deeply active in the community (Corporate Social Responsibility - anyone, anyone? Bueller? Bueller?) As for everyone here that assumes that Judy charges ridiculously high prices which poor people can't afford: Clearly you don't go to the BK very often. If you did you might know that Judy often, personally discounts her prices to those she thinks need it or deserve it. Whether they're poor or they just "don't have enough cash" to cover their bill. Yes, I am a fan of Judy's. And Yes, I know Judy isn't perfect but she is neighborhood legend and I think she deserves some more time in the spotlight.— August 8, 2010 4:35 p.m.
