Changed to 90% below poverty line. I've attended city meeting for bhhs students, city manager actually told us it was 90%...
- We need a verifiable source for that, please. Thanks, -Will Beback 02:48, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
What does it mean ...granted "a tract of land styled San Antonio." 'Styled' is a funny verb here, no?

[edit] NPOV?
The article contains "The Golden Triangle, with Rodeo Drive at its center, was built and marketed to the rest of the world as the shopping destination of a lifetime, despite a decidedly unexciting ambiance. In fact, many stores cater to the over-60 crowd." I don't think this can be described as NPOV. It is actually pretty offensive to those over 60. Notinasnaid 18:58, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Quiry
How are the Mayor and the Vice-Mayor the same person? If that is the case, then why is Vice-Mayor even listed? - JVG 12:18, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Political affinity
- The remaining 23.8% either declined to state political affiliation or are registered with one of the many minor political parties.
I feel the statement is a bit undescriptive. 23.8% is quite a large percentage. I would assume most of these decline to comment but its possible quite a high percentage are registered with minor political parties. In any case, I feel this needs improvement. You don't have to state the percentages for each political party although if there are any with over 5% I would suggest it should also be stated expicilitly. But you should at least state the number who declined as a seperate figure. Nil Einne 15:18, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Map
Shouldn't there be a map showing it's location ? -- Beardo 16:45, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
- There should be. Also, the intro states that Beverly Hills is entirely surrounded by the city of Los Angeles and that it borders the city of West Hollywood. Both statements cannot be true. --Nelson Ricardo 03:23, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- Maps are good, but finding one that is not copyright can be difficult. Notinasnaid 13:08, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, the statements could both be true if the city of West Hollywood is part of the city of Los Angeles. Notinasnaid 13:10, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] questions on city history
I wonder how come Richard Burton (land owner, not actor) and C.W. Griffith aren't mentioned in cofoundation of Beverly Hills? I figured the man was Burton E. Green and I may got the name wrong. Not only Burton's name is recognized in the history of Los Angeles, but has a street named for him: Burton Way, the dividing line of the city in address designation (anywhere north of Burton addresses are 100, 200 and 300N, south of Burton is 100 S, 200S and 300S). Is Burton E. Green and Richard Burton the same man or came from the same family? I'm so confused on this matter, reply on that. + Mike D 26 12:59, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
