$32 million settlement in bluff collapse deaths

Fox 5:
A settlement has been reached in the case of a tragic bluff collapse at a North County beach in 2019 that resulted in three women losing their lives.

According a news release from Bibianne Fell, the attorney for the plaintiffs, on Tuesday, the state of California, city of Encinitas and condominium owners and management have agreed to a settlement of more than $32 million with the women’s families.

  1. Even an idiot isn't dumb enough to lay at the base of a bluff and think nothing can happen. Like those private planes that fly in circles over Encinitas

    3. 6:52,

      Speaking of planes, how’s that going?

      Last we heard, pilots should beware because you were going to pull out all the stops and convince homeland security to get involved.

      How’s that going? Any progress to report? I haven’t noticed anything in the news or any change in the air traffic overhead. It almost seems like you are irrelevant.

    5. 8:08...teach yourself to be more observant. How many circle over and over Encinitas as many as 40 times now...hmmmm?

    6. Additionally 8:08, Homeland is involved to include the FAA as over the last month, planes have been flying undert under 1000 feet. In some cases 500/600 feet.
      Our group has it all on radar to include photos and complaints on file. All violations of Federal Law.
      Got anymore comments concerning private planes flying over Encinitas and Solana Beach?
      Wake up and die right !

  2. If the city can be held liable for this, then the city has a fiduciary duty to protect you from all risk.

    They can close the beaches at high tide. They can keep you out of the water lest you drown. They can close trails if there are predators or loose rocks. They can erect physical barriers at overlooks. They can remove stairs to prevent falls.

    If government can be held liable, then logically, they have the authority to take preventive measures.

    This is a bad outcome. And those of you celebrating it aren’t thinking through where it leads.

  3. Why is Thunder always a cunt? Posts when she knows Lorri is asleep about another right wing page that people can go to after Lorri ‘dissolves’ her page.

      Are you suggesting that Nutbird’s MAGA besties do not really respect her? That they just realize that she’s easily manipulated by false flattery to promote their candidates and delete opposing views?

    3. 7:48 Nope - guess you're unable to read between the lines. Lorri doesn't care for Thunder (for lots of good reasons), so Thunder, who always has to have revenge, has to "get her back" in her HS childish ways.

      It's the reason she'll never win an election and never, ever, ever be supported by our new mayor.

    6. 🤣🤣🤣 You're right Julie sure is. So is Lorri. How dumb are you that you don't see Encinitas Insider is exactly the same people doing the same thing, shilling for Bruce, Jim, Luke and whatever else right wingers are pushing for. How dumb are you to not see that Lorri's in on it too. Lorri doesn't want to pause EV, she wants to run EV exactly the same way just without getting called out on it.

      Delete
    7. Why? Because Julie Thunder puts herself out there to be humiliated, insulted and laughed at.

      Bad enough she’s a closet Republican, but her helping Tony get elected in 2022 is the very reason Encinitas is even more f*cked up today.

      Delete
    8. I think what makes this so harsh is Lorri goes in to get her final results today (Weds.) to find out what physical problems have kept her sick for so long. She has been ill for 3 to 4 months and has gone to many doctors. She talked about it on her own page, not EV. So Julie picks this day to put her PSA on EV. Personally, I think it's a cheap shot. Wonder if Lorri will remove it. Even if she doesn't, she finds out who she is going to exclude from the next group she has in mind, minus MAGAs. She has already said that if whatever she has is treatable she has a new group in mind after the first of the year. I'm guessing it will be a private group and some of the jerks on EV won't even know it happened. I suspect it will be a moderate group, and not the right wing that's happening now. But at least Julie has made sure she won't fit in the new group. I may not agree with Lorri a lot of the time, but I still think it sucks that Julie did this. I would never vote for her if she ran again.

    1. Reasonable people can disagree on that. And the needs of high-speed athlete cyclists aren’t always the same as the needs of low-speed transportation cyclists. I would argue that most of the controversy is being stoked by people who are neither, and just selfishly want to return to a time when everything was about the car, and ALL types of cyclists were unsafe.

      Irrespective of that, we should agree that this bluff collapse settlement is bad for personal freedom and will encourage government to be more aggressive in “protecting” us from our own personal choices.

    3. Good bike lane design should protect those who are professional riders as well as the first time user of these lanes. The part that upsets me is that Blakespear and others continue to identify this record of injury as a safety triumph when there were no accidents prior to the installation of the furniture. The other point is that our city hires staff to chase grant funds regardless of whether they are needed. Grant funds always result in diminishing returns for the taxpayer, but they provide jobs for staff and big political points for politicians like Blakespear to claim that she has achieved something!

    4. This one’s definitely going to court and I predict City putting road furniture where numerous cyclist are crashing and killing themselves and putting Sharrows on a high-speed highway are not going to be viewed favorably and millions and millions and millions will be paid out.,

      Just my production, but we’ll see.

      How many more people will die on the stretch before it goes to court?

      Personally, I think some people should be held accountable and possibly criminal charges.

      The issues and data are real, and the deaths are real. Ask the four C and I bet their pain and suffering is real. Ask Roberta walker, she barely survived, and I know her pain was real.

  5. Someone needs to call Alex Honnald and tell him that rock climbing is no longer allowed. He could pull off a loose rock or just slip and fall. If that happens, his family could sue the government and get $30M. Can’t have that. Shut it all down and put up barbed wire to prevent anyone from getting near any cliff or bluff.

    The city has known about multiple mitigation actions it could’ve taken since the grand jury handed Jerome stocks a laundry list of fix its. In his usual dismissive manner he said no thank you. Anyone following this lawsuit will have seen the press conference where the Davis family attorney ran through something like 14 items that the city was electing not to address. That carries through to Kranz today who has responsibility just as much as Jerome did back in the day. .

  12. "The Davis family attorney ran through something like 14 items that the city was electing not to address." Same situation with the city's disgusting negligence to lower the speed limit on ECR, SFD, and to build the safety infrastructure for the kids to bike to school, before the crazed-KK went around to the kids school telling them to ride their bikes, causing the death of the innocent, trusting 15 year Brodie. There have been 33 crashes, and the death of the 4 C's father, due to the city's deadly cycle trap. The death of Dr. Worley and Stephanie, again caused by the city's negligent infrastructure. If a person of brown or black color gets killed in the city's negligent deathly infrastructure, the pay outs will be over 100 Million, because of their minority status.

    2. It’s not just about state law and it’s not that simple. Lots Bruce can do to mitigate excessive development.

      Beyond that red herring, is overall good governance. That includes budgeting, prioritizing needs over wants, cleaning up the seediness downtown, getting the homeless problem under control, diligently curtail crime, not creating more stupid projects that cause confusion, accidents and are ugly. Maybe even fix or undo some of the stupid projects so many people, except the lying lawyer, hate, like the cycle traps. And so importantly prepare the infrastructure for the excessive overdevelopment approved by his predecessors.

      There is so much that Ehlers can do and do better than Kranz. And if K is passed I’d much prefer to see it managed by Ehlers at the helm than Kranz, who never saw a budget he didn’t overrun.

  18. 11:09 You have a point. If the person killed in the city's faulty infrastructure is of color, and a female, the pay out will be much higher to reflect their minority status, vs the pay out for the white men, women and child that have been killed in Encinitas. Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea “Shaye” Moss have won the $148 million judgment over Giuliani’s false ballot fraud claims against them related to the 2020 presidential election. They are both women of color, and are alive and well, yet, they have won a $148 million judgement.

    Hot Damn! Its City Council night!!

    We all know what that means. After 30 mins. of boring Kranzinitas style presentations and proclamations, we get time with the Real Local HEROS of Encinitas!

    ORAL COMMUNICATIONS / POSSIBLE DIRECTION TO STAFF-

    Yes. Thats right. Tune in tonight to listen to local HEROS like Natalie Sattoon, Rachel Graves, Juan, Kathlyn Lindermann, Olympian Sean Wallace, Mark Mavil, and Maria Ardance- just to name a few. There

    Maria Ardance- Wow. Talk about a local HERO. She speaks with intelligence and common sense. Love her! Future Council member I hope!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    Watch last weeks amazing Local Heros here -

    Especially Mark Mavil and Maria Ardance (sp?) starting at 39 minutes of the video here - https://encinitas.granicus.com/player/clip/3340?meta_id=176478

    These Local HEROs show up and act to make Encinitas a bettter place.

    Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. By far the best part of the meeting and otherwise the meetings are really a waste of time, because Tony lets Anthill run the City into the ground as long as he is fed and get to continue consuming free beer and boner pills, Kranzinitas is happy!

  22. I wanted to post this here before the gloves come back on and I get trashed once again. There is good news for all of you who participate in this blog, or read it. Julie Thunder and Co. decided that Encinitas Votes is already dead, even though I had announced it would be paused after the elections were certified. So, if you want to see what the "mean girls" as Marco calls many of us, are up to, you had better switch channels to the new FB group, as I am not going to spend any more time on Encinitas Votes. Now that should be cause for celebration for many of you. And YES, some of you are right. I spent 9 years of my life that could have been used doing other things than searching out Encinitas News from the 10 papers I subscribe to. For me, the good news is I can cancel the subscriptions, say what I want on this blog or somewhere else, (except of course Encinitas Now:) and actually have a life. So, for all the folks that dislike or hate me, this is your lucky day. And, to top it off, the new group even has some of the same people that are on EV, and some that are not, like Garvin and Marco. I would say it's a win-win for everyone.

In the end the only rule that matters is whatever your arbitrary whim is at the moment. You are too easily manipulated. You make it all about yourself, rather than the needs of the community.

      They don’t talk about themselves or make themselves a topic. They delete comments or posts that break the rules silently, without comment or debate. There is no need for explanation—the rules are the rules.

      Some people on EV disagreed with my comments, and they knew Lorri was easily manipulated, and started lobbying her to delete me.

      I inquired if I had broken any rules.

      Both Lorri and Glen separately told me I was good, and had never broken any EV group rules. This was right before Lorri blocked me.

      She’s unhinged.

      Delete
    17. There's hundreds of other residents with similar stories of getting banned from EV. That's how Lorri keeps it an echo chamber. The people who follow her agenda can say and do pretty much whatever they want. Those who don't follow the agenda are constantly on thin ice.

      It usually goes something like this .... Lorri or one of her harpies post some bullshit. Someone not onboard with the agenda corrects the harpies or offers a different point of view. When the harpies complain to Lorri about the dissenter, they're banned. The harpies start bullying and doxing the dissenter. If the dissenter complains to Lorri, they're banned. If the dissenter fights back, they're banned. If the bullying doesn't get rid of them or shut them up imaginary rule violations are created, they're banned. For some lucky few, Lorri will continue to talk shit about them after they're gone and can't defend themselves.

      The only people who defend Lorri are those who want to continue using EV to spread their poison. Everyone else knows she and EV are cancer.

  23. All politics are ugly. It’s why not enough good people run. Welcome to reality. All political FB pages get ugly too. If everyone from EV starts posting on EN, they will be blocked or excoriated by MaliMarcoAmanda.

    I think our local politics have always been ugly. Remember the clown and Maggie? The kitchen appliance fiasco? The mayor who sued her constituents?

    But it really peaked in 2022, when the Thunder/Kranz inspired Morris was let out of his box to wreak havoc on candidates, residents and the community at large.

    I’m glad Lorri is wise to that two faced traitor.

  28. Anyone else see Dr Caps council comments on @encinitaskeepinitreal?

    One of the best off the cuff commentaries, totally true, from questioning the stupid design on Santa Fe to the discussion of emergency access service and safety.

    Need I remind everyone that Catherine Blakespear got this funding and used that 15 year old boy’s (Cody?) death to promote it.

    Bruce if you read this, FIRE traffic engineer Abe Brandigan. He’s a liability.

    1. I think that Destiny has been coached by the biggest liar and whiner of all, Francine Busby! She should have won against Brian Bilbray in the first place, but she invited illegal aliens to vote in a stupid statement that sunk her chances. Then she spent time whining and lying. She also coaches Democrats to lie and exaggerate their backgrounds. This campaign has all of the hallmarks of dumb candidate statements, walking them back when people speak out, and playing victim while asking for money.

It is such a refreshing change to see candidates with whom we can have a meaningful conversation and are out listening to the public. This also reminds me of how Marco is fast to play the victim card at every opportunity.

But he also almost hit a friend at the beach because my friend disagreed with something he said. Added to that is his pompous attitude. When he got the trip to Israel years ago, he posted on his own FB page how he could fix the conflicts over there. It was pretty crazy.

  33. 11:56 between Rachel and Tony at the Housing Task Force meeting, not sure who’s scarier.

    The task force seems like a cluster f*ck.

    Why are Tony and Allison so adamant to keep L7 on the list? It is very low on the priority list and unpopular with the public.

    I’m waiting for anyone to discuss traffic and infrastructure impacts on these sites.

    Anyway, it doesn’t matter. Bruce will scrap much of this and start over. Many of these sites are unrealistic, will require a Prop A vote, and are very unpopular. We could better.

    Tony, if you want to try and keep 1 ounce of integrity with the Encinitas residence, you will resign before the election of November 5, 2024.

    Otherwise, you are going down as the worst mayor in the history of Encinitas. And I hope you hold that position for a very, very, very long time.

      Santa fe needs help, it is getting it. There is a reason encinitas is the most expensive rental market despite what a handful of sore perpetual losers keep saying otherwise. Fix the roads! Roads get fixed, NOT LIKE THAT! Idiots. Spandex crew starts crying, you jump in-front of that parade, entitled doctor cries, you jump on that like a fly to crap. That’s what you and golden etc are, poop flies, dumb and swarm to the stank.

    After 30 mins. of boring Kranzinitas style presentations and proclamations, we got time with the Real Local HEROS of Encinitas!

    ORAL COMMUNICATIONS / POSSIBLE DIRECTION TO STAFF-

    Yes. Thats right.Listen to local HEROS like Jim O'Hara, Luke Shaffer, Rachel Graves, Mark Mavil, and Maria Ardance- just to name a few.

    Holy Smoke - Can you say Nick Cap!!! ❤️💪🏾🙏🏾

    These Local HEROs show up and act to make Encinitas a bettter place.

    Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. By far the best part of the meeting and otherwise the meetings are really a waste of time, because Tony lets Anthill run the City into the ground as long as he is fed and get to continue consuming free beer and boner pills, Kranzinitas is happy!
