Lake Como Connections
A Blog by Keep Lake Como Beautiful (KLCB)
At Keep Lake Como Beautiful (KLCB), we believe in the transformative power of community. Lake Como Connections is more than a blog—it’s a platform for sharing the initiatives, success stories, and insights that drive our mission to revitalize the Lake Como neighborhood.
Rooted in equity, sustainability, and resilience, our stories showcase how collective action and cultural pride can overcome challenges like poverty, neighborhood disinvestment, and inequitable systems. Every post reflects KLCB’s commitment to dismantling barriers and creating a vibrant, empowered community.
Join us on this journey of transformation. Explore stories that inspire change, discover resources that empower action, and connect with neighbors who are shaping the future of Lake Como—one block at a time.
When Outrage Outruns Strategy
The gathering was canceled, but the public record remains. KLCB is turning confusion into a disciplined four-week campaign: one question, one source, and one written answer at a time.

Somebody Handled It. So Why Are We Still Here?
Somebody did handle it. Somebody stepped into the gap. But 35 years later, Lake Como has to ask a harder question: what survived after the moment passed? This Office Hours episode names the missing bridge between history, transparency, resident access, and civic infrastructure.

Lake Como Has Not Lacked Helpers. It Has Lacked Resident-Power Infrastructure.

Seat at the Table Does Not End When the Workshop Ends.
Seat at the Table was never designed to be a one-day event. Each workshop forms a cohort. That cohort then moves into the Google Classroom for official support and follow-up, then reconvenes by Google Meet to examine real next-step opportunities — including proposed collaborations — through the Resident Power Framework before the work moves forward.

Lake Como Still Has NIP Money Left. Before It’s Spent, Residents Deserve the Record.
Lake Como still has remaining 2021 NIP funds, and a public meeting is set for April 30, 2026 to discuss potential projects for Lake Como Park.

Revitalization vs. Gentrification:
People throw around the words revitalization and gentrification like they mean the same thing. They do not.
Revitalization is supposed to mean improving a neighborhood with the people who are already there.
Gentrification is what happens when change shows up, value goes up, and the people who held the neighborhood down get pushed aside, priced out, ignored, or erased.

The Game Board Was Set: Horne Street, $35K in Public Money, and Lake Como’s Missing Deliverables
Lake Como residents did not walk into the April 2 Horne Street meeting at the beginning of the story. By then, the code framework, committee structure, and public funding support were already in place. So the real question is not whether residents got a meeting. It is whether residents got clear, timely, accountable civic infrastructure before the stakes hardened.
