Over at LA Blogs they mention that the mayor of Hermosa Beach is going to be at tonight's SoCal Wireless Users Group meeting talking about his plan to have city-wide wifi.


Now, I don't know how much of a pipe-dream this is, or if he's really got the power to pull it off, but I think this would be amazing. I've gotten pretty spoiled having wifi access on campus at USC, and it's starting to be one of those things where I'm surprised when I go somewhere and can't find an access point.


It used to be my plan to move to the beach next year for my senior year. That's not going to happen (it'll be downtown instead), but I definitely intend to end up at the beach for at least a year or two after college. Wifi in Hermosa could definitely tilt the balance in its favor. Not that getting me to move there really means much, but I'd like to assume I'd not so abnormal that others wouldn't have sort of the same thought process.
