It's OK to aggregate April Fools Day stories, right? From the LA Weekly's Kaitlin Beauchemin:
In response to concerns of painfully long commutes and generally annoying "far-ness," the Los Angeles City Council on Monday approved an ordinance that will move the city of Santa Monica “closer.”
Voting 12-3, the council overwhelmingly approved the measure to relocate the beachfront town, moving it “at least, like, 20 minutes closer.”[skip]
"A lot of the places that people need to go to are in Santa Monica, but none of the people live in, or around, Santa Monica," says Paul Koretz, a fellow council member and supporter of the bill. "It would save everyone so much time and money if it were just a little less far away."
The relocation will be designed by famed architect Frank Gehry, of course. Also this: When asked if he had any other ordinances in the works, the measure's sponsor, Councilman Paul Krekorian, said yes: "to move the city of Glendale further away."
