Listen to this note:
I always thought that I knew Pescadero like the back of my hand, perhaps not a very big one, but certainly significant.
I spent my whole life in this town, getting to know its people, its nature, its make-do attitude. After leaving Pescadero for Irvine for my studies, that's when I realized that I really wasn't as up to date as I thought I was.
It wasn't until I started working as a journalist that I began to see things more clearly, where I realized that just because you get a no, it doesn't mean you should stop fighting, if anything you should use it as an opportunity to move forward with more confidence.
Affordable housing in Pescadero has been said to be a no-go, but little by little the wheel of hope has been accelerating for farmworkers.
