## Resource

A prime spot on the Santa Monica Pier sits vacant for over a year as California Roadhouse, ready to build a restaurant and music venue that could create 50+ jobs, stalls over controversial lease clauses — “Labor Peace” and “Right to Recall” — sparking questions about transparency and whether political influence shaped the deal. With the city holding firm and the company eager to move forward, the community watches as a major economic opportunity hangs in the balance.
