The problem with Patterson assertion that there isn't enough parking at the new Starbucks location for additional restaurants is simply the city has not required additional parking for new restaurants for years. Hell, some restaurants are removing parking....
This is all about tax revenue to pay pensions and salaries.
One correction in the Hoodlinks. Desert Rose has not been built yet, and the nieghbors have filed a suit against the developers and the City.
With regard to the comment about the City being for sale, Anon 9:26 is spot on!
What a small price for citizens to give up their peace, property value, safety, and privacy so that big developers can make projects "pencil out," and so that the unhirable anywhere else City staff can have their outragous pay and benefits!
OMG don't want people to buy gas and a sandwich in leucadia. It starts the end of it all. You anti subway people must be democrats you probably hate wal mart also.
I'm not a democrat, but I hate walmart and don't want more than the existing gas stations in Leucadia. Who mentioned anything about hating subway?
We are anti super densifications to pay for huge pensions and salaries of some seriously underperforming positions.
One being Sacramento Gus that praises staff's performance. Council's highest priority should be to fire Gus and hire a City Manager that can clear the deadwood and hire some worthy employees.
Three of the current Council members voted to give the developer city right-away and remove the requirement for a loading zone - Councilwoman Gaspar, Councilman Muir, and Councilwoman (now Mayor)Barth. Job well done by them in screwing up traffic. The city traffic engineers assured the 2011 Council that there was plenty of space for a drive through lane even though common sense showed otherwise.
The council voted to allow a 14-foot encroachment into the public right-of-way. Staff said it wasn't needed. Of course, the public knew before, and now the staff knows it was needed for unloading and queuing. The solution is to put a no-parking zone on the west side and deprive the businesses there of any street parking. All was done as a big favor for the developer so his project would "pencil out."
We have got to get rid of Gustavo Vina who simply takes our money and hires more layers of people to further entrench himself behind layers of other unqualified and overpaid people. In Sacramento, he gave the managers who worked under him big raises. Creating loyalty through bribes is a good idea--even more so when he is using OUR money! Fire Gustavo!

Isn't It all about covering salaries and pensions? The town is for sale.

ReplyDeleteNothing is done at city hall so a developers project will "pencil out", everything is done at city hall so that salaries and pensions "pencil out".
DeleteWe're gonna need a bigger pencil.
