Asked at Acme Coffee in Seaside

Q: IF YOU COULD REDESIGN ANYTHING, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Follow-up: WHAT IS PERFECT JUST THE WAY IT IS?


DAVID SANTANA | Architectural Draftsman | Seaside

A: Our railroad system. It’s ironic that Japan and Europe have all these trains and we as a world power and massive nation have none. The airlines and oil industry are probably behind it.

The Simple Truth: Signal lights, coffee and Coors.

HELAINE GALE TREGENZA | Business Owner | Del Rey Oaks

A: The lobbying system. Things like the “Bridge to Nowhere” in Alaska shouldn’t be able to be slipped in on the end of a big bill.

The Secret Truth: My son. But don’t tell him that—he won’t do his homework.

CHRIS FREEMAN | Business Owner | Big Sur

A: I would redesign corporate America to be more of a life-nurturing, independent business thriving network that’s bomb-halting and earth-conscious with greedless leaders.

The New Truth: Corporate—Trader Joe’s; independent—Acme, of course.
