PBID Is Dead: Don’t Feel the Pressure to Sign Petition

TeamPBID pressures property owners into signing petitions. Is that how PBID is going to work in La Mesa? Is that how we will build a unified community?

It's no surprise that TeamPBID will be out in full force to try to resuscitate PBID. 

  •    Expect a knock on your door
  •    Expect a personal face-to-face visit
  •    Expect high pressure to make you sign the petition.

But you don't have to change your mind.  You can be assured that a huge number of your neighbors have already made their decision NOT to support PBID.

Let's face the fact:  PBID is DEAD.
