As of right now the only housing developer backing me is Bowden Development, I abstain from voting on their projects, my opponent has voted for them 100% of the time.

Interesting that he's helping Azusa get a Porto's Bakery, you would think that he would be more interested bringing a Porto's Bakery to Monrovia.

In the past several years, they have constructed more than 50 McMansions all over Arcadia, and they also have been approved to build a high-density, neighborhood-busting mixed use development in San Gabriel. Oh, here's the best part too... Chateau Capital recently hired a former Monrovia City Council Member because they have designs on building Arcadia-style McMansions here in Monrovia.
