\"He is the local go-to for community action and reform,\" Jean Green said in a nominating letter. \"They say, 'You can't fight city hall.' Well, [Rick Martinez] has time and again, with grace and tenacity. And the City Different is all the better for it,\" added Green, a resident at The Montecito retirement and assisted living community, where Martinez is a familiar face. He spends most of his days there now, aiding his mother, 87-year-old Tessie Martinez, who is in hospice care. Residents there requested his help. \"A lot of people got mad at me,\" he said. But \"you don't just go into someone's backyard and say, 'I'm going to do high density. The law's on my side.' \" \"We rely on our history for the tourists to come,\" Martinez said. \"I would hate to see it change so that we forget our history.\" He cites Winston Churchill: \"A nation that forgets its past has no future.\" He's used a similar line in his storyboard battle: \"A Railyard that forgets its past has no future.\"
