Description: This act designates the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 1400 N Kraemer Blvd. in Placentia, California, as the PFC Jang Ho Kim Post Office Building.
Sponsors: Rep. Kim, Young [R-CA-39]
Target Audience
Population: People using the post office in Placentia, California
Estimated Size: 3000
- The bill specifically targets a single post office building located at 1400 N Kraemer Blvd. in Placentia, California.
- Such a designation typically affects people who use or work in the post office, including employees, local residents, and visitors.
- The renaming does not alter the functionalities of the post office, implying negligible broader impact.
Reasoning
- The policy is simple and targets a specific local facility, the Post Office in Placentia, California. It is unlikely to have a substantial impact beyond the local community that directly uses this facility.
- The cost of naming a facility is minimal and should fit within the given budget constraints. However, broader societal impacts, such as wellbeing changes, are likely minimal, except for any symbolic value this provides to the community.
- Most people in the broader US will remain unaffected; the direct impact is very localized.
- Since it affects a limited group directly, it is reasonable to say that any changes in Cantril wellbeing scores would be minimal or even negligible.
- To capture genuine reactions, interviews focus on emotions around the symbolic honor or specific local relevance, alongside standard service sentiments.
