Schindler says she’s running Encinitas bikewalks on her own because they’ve had it with her too? Does she have a permit for what she’s advertising? Where is Berlfein? Did even she give her the boot?
Sheila Cameron made excellent comments directed at Luke Shaffer. For those of us who worked on Prop A, it was insulting when he asked those applying for the D4 position to "change" Prop A. Also, so was correct that it was insulting when he said that the older citizens had "no skin in the game." Everyone of all ages has skin in the game.
Sheila misquoted Luke, that is not an accurate quote, and Sheila and you know that. And Sheila was also wrong, NO applicant said they would not be open to changing Prop A.
I can’t fucking believe Bruce is going to follow the prior council’s practice of burying public comment at turns of the meetings! This isn’t the change we voted for.
Rachel Graves, no longer a resident of Encinitas, continues to make comments saying “our neighborhoods” and “our council”. Rachel, go address your own city council in CARLSBAD
Her comments were researched and deserved to be shared. It doesn't matter that after growing up in Encinitas and owning property here that she current address is in Carlsbad. Rachel has as least as much "skin in the game" as developers who Marco represents.
Amanda/Mali continue to be obsessed with where Rachel and her honorable military husband lay their heads at night. Gross. It’s obvious why they are so obsessed considering Rachel has not one, not two, but FOUR wins we are watching tonight. 🐐
Unfortunately, these guys were handed the biggest mess in history, but nonetheless, they won, she won, we won!
If there wasn’t the Sheila’s, the Rachel’s, the Susan’s and the Scott’s, more crap would have gone unnoticed until it was too late to do anything about it.
So if they want to spend their free time at city meetings defending our city, I think their owed a debt of gratitude.
Aw thanks mom. You always stand up for me. Without all of your enabling since middle school, I wouldn't have grown up to be the toxic complainer I've become today.
You will never get Mali, Marco and the Blakespear crowd to EVER respect a military serviceperson, a soldier's sacrifice, or a military family lifestyle that allows civilians to enjoy their freedoms. Taking care of aging parents is not easy for anyone, and especially hard for a military spouse who has to travel overseas to do so.
When MAGAs have an opinion on Encinitas it doesn't matter if they live here. It doesn't matter who they're friends with or which politicians they support. If they do live here it doesn't matter for how long or if they rent or own or who paid for it. It doesn't matter if they have children or not. It doesn't matter if they have a job or what that job is. It doesn't matter what skeletons are in their closet. It doesn't matter how many lies they've told or what crimes they've committed. It doesn't matter how mentally ill, how pathetic they are or if they're just terrible people. All that matters is they shit on Democrats.
For everyone else their opinions are immediately invalidated by the MAGAs for one of a hundred criteria that not one of the accusers can live up to.
We are better balanced, something desperately needed. 1 progressive Democrat, one far right Republican, and three non partisans. Good. We’ve all got a voice.
7:27.......please don't have children...I beg of you. And by the way, MAGA just found 20 billion hidden by the America hating left. Leftists should be put up against a wall and taken out.
Marco Gonzalez is getting his ass handed to him after 8 years of corruption, lies and fraud. Let us all appreciate and have a standing ovation for the realization that Mr. Gonzalez is the biggest fraud ever to live in 92024.
My ass handed to me? Seems like the Mayor and Council ended up agreeing with me last night, or did I miss something? I've been beating the same drum for years; shouldn't be a surprise at this point.
Nick from Baldwin comes up with his please like me smile and oh shucks attitude but he’s a jerk and he doesn’t give a rats ass about us. That’s clear don’t be fooled. He’ll still get his way. Thanks to KranzBlakespearHinze. They set it up payday for some.
There is zero chance the current City of Encinitas people who have supported the QGD Baldwin project have/will received some form of material compensation be it influence, $$, or other future compensation.
The over/under on number attendees at The Shyndler's Bike and Bark event is currently set at 4 people. It would've been set at 6 people but one person needs to hold down the admin responsibilities on EPU that day (not all heroes wear capes) and another one's Subaru is in the shop so they won't be able to drive down to the event with their bike in the back.
CERF - Coastal Environmental Rights Foundation. Pretty funny to support large development in the name of coastal environment. Where exactly are the headwaters for Cottonwood Creek? I forget.
We formed CERF in 2008. It's been extremely successful in protecting coastal resources, pushing multi-modal transportation infrastructure, and yes, advocating sustainable city-building through infill and densification over sprawl. Happy to discuss or debate anyone on the topics in person at your convenience.
Brilliant speakers mostly, then there’s Marco. He hasn’t figured out that change is in the wind. The public has already spoken their mind and Bonta be damned. His threats don’t cut it with too many of the people who know better and those people will soon be the majority.
While Marco droned on with his well rehearsed, the HDC is the boogeyman speech, the majority of the residents appeared better prepared than the city and the planning commission that approved this impending disaster.
“CERF” was formed after, Surfrider said there’s the door. No one on this board apparently has a name and some of the workers are just placeholder images from coast law group. Poser. No wonder he seemed nervous trying to appear bigger and more important than reality.
I hate to say it but Marco is right. If they don’t deny this appeal, we get sued and then builders remedy goes into effect and what they build then will be an even bigger monster.
This council meeting defines how government should work. Tony Kranz left us a steaming pile of shit, which will negatively impact the entire community including the people who supported and voted for him.
I understand builders remedy, but this is still a disappointment. How can we ever justify 448 additional units on this corner? The only way to fight this is private citizens spending their own money to sue either the developer or the city? How is our democracy served in this situation?
Did we not learn anything in the Paris and Paradise/Eaton Fires?
The time to have been awake and on alert and fighting was five years ago. The Blakespear legacy was on full display tonight as folks woke up to that reality. Make no mistake, she and Kranz profited from this crap gift to the residents.
We have been fighting for a long time. Many people in Encinitas fell asleep at the wheel or maybe thery were afraid to speak? Now, they are waking up. The Baldwin project should never been exempt from CEQA.
I miss Tony’s one hour of proclamations when he asks someone to say nice things about him!
then he completely Ignore public comment , and focus on implementing pet projects that waste tens of millions of dollars on facilities that only a Handful of old Karen friends use, and ignored other city business.
He loved his Evening walks on the closed to the public to Beacon Beach access with Admiral Starvin, and create useless DEI programs.
He / she completely ignored infrastructure like drainage and street safety issues that gets the city sued Daily. When asked, he said, that was the job of the Cardiff GIMP.
I want my big fat stupid TONY and gravy stained sweats wearing DEI Garden gnome back!
You're wrong Joplin is blowing Sabellico. He made a complete ass out of himself during public comment at a council meeting last year. The guy practically got booed from the room.
I absolutely get a stiffy when I listen to Abe speak about traffic issues especially when he’s talking about my bike trap designs. Hey Abe, do you wanna play pickle ball later? Hee Hee.
The city of encinitas has been strongarmed by the corrupt gangsters Gavin Newsom and Rob (the fag) Bonta with Marco (the loser and criminal) threatening everyone one with lawsuits.
We will all rejoice when gangster Margo is run over by a bus. That is not a threat is a promise
What WTF is wrong with you people ????????? This entire multi apartment building spree was forced on ALL of california by the brain dead buffoon gavin newsom and a.g bonta.......under threat of lawsuits to every city and town. You jackasses voted for leftists and it is what you got, so.... STFU you friggin morons
jerome stocks was governor ? Why is it leftists can't focus. Someone provides a truth and leftists go to another direction. Proving yet again........... "they are children in adult bodies unable to think" This......is why the state of california is a mess. Children with A.D.D in adult bodies without any sense
Just listening to the public comments. HAHAHAHAAHA. Nothing I love more than D4 voters speaking up and telling the council how badly they fu'd up. Sheila Cameron was excellent as well.
Chevron announced today that it is pulling out of California after approximately 140 years. They will, apparently, close their refineries, which provide about one third of California’s fuel.
The company tried to speak to Gavin Newsome to see if they could find some way to remain viable in the state. He refused to take their calls and texted back instead, saying ‘go ahead, I’m good’.
Chevron is joining everyone else, in Texas.
And, the Titanic steamed ahead, as fast as it could, toward the iceberg.
Let’s take back our state and get rid of the crazy Progressive Liberals. Vote NO on Blakespear, Horvath, Bonita, Remer, etc.
There were 3-4 who said if anything they'd strengthen it. So if you're trying to call out semantics, it was clear he meant weaken it. He'd already signaled that privately.
I've spent more than 60 years following local politics. Never have I witnessed newly elected officials shed supporters with the speed and scale of what's happening right now with Luke and Jim. Every meeting has been a circus and Bruce is clearly the only adult in the room. This isn't what residents thought they were voting for. Bruce summed it up perfectly when he told them "I've been doing this for over 20 years and you guys don't know what you're doing and that worries me."
Don't pretend that they didn't have the 2-2 tie vote orchestrated before the meeting even started. Bruce certainly has been around long enough to know how these things work. Put on a show for the council meeting attendees, blame everything on the previous council--- and then vote as you've been instructed. Marco Gonzales told them exactly how it is, and after Bruce cranked his organ and his trained monkeys did their little dances-- the appeals failed as planned.
That's because voters thought they were electing LukeJim. Who Encinitas really elected was non resident Crazy Rachel. Many viewers of recent meetings have now realized the talking points and attitude from LukeJim is all MAGA Rachel. She brought the same toxic, ill informed stupidity she displays on social media to the council chambers. It was laid bare for all to see last night. Rachel was seen on camera all night acting like a stage mom directing LukeJim. Not only is she prepping them before meetings, she was recorded feeding them lines, telling them how to vote, how to speak and more. We can expect more of the same from Marco San Antonio as Rachel was behind his appointment as well.
MMW it's all going to come out eventually and these scandals are going to make the awful Blakespear years look like the good old days.
Allison: you lost. Nobody is feeding anyone lines. When you drove over the lagoon and saw the place you loved, it was the Shaffers, O'Haras, San Antonios and all the others who have made this place what it is, that you loved. It was not the other way around. Nobody saw you and said, "we'd love to have your corrupt-developer-paid-puppet-ass here."
Nevermind the rumors we've all heard. Rachel was literally caught on tape last night. Comparing Rachel to a stage mom directing her kids as mentioned by 12:14 is 100% accurate.
You're ignoring the fact that the massive upzone of QGD project was approved with 2 key individuals ( 1 on council and 1 the chair if the Planning commission) that quite literally were working for the Baldwin company. The state has b9xed in the city of Encinitas at every point into a corner not by being a transparent entity but by fraud, grift, and one party rule l. The same people that spent $24B on solving the homeless crisis caused by gayvin Newsom yet increased homeless by 40% while lining the pockets of douche canoes.
Marco is one of them and is a fraudulent corrupt grifting scumbag who needs to be eradicated in a workmanship like fashion.
Eradicated? Damn, sounds like things are escalating in mom's basement! And help me out here, who was it on Planning Commission or City Council that was working for Baldwin when the property was upzoned back in 2018?
Yeah, kind of vindicated given how often you all tell me I don't know what I'm talking about. But mostly just happy we aren't going to waste a bunch of taxpayer funds getting sued for denying projects with no legal grounds.
Developer always have a story of altruistic intent of housing those who otherwise couldn't afford to live in Encinitas. In practice, they build as many luxury, market rate units as possible and keep or sell off those scarce affordable units that often end up occupied by friends, relatives, or connections. In other words, they skim off the profit for themselves and fight every attempt to make them address the shortage of low and very-low income housing to address our RHNA numbers. They use gangster tactics to say that residents must accept what they offer regardless of safety, traffic, parking concerns. Even when fraud and malfeasance is identified in the project, they say that there is no choice but to accept ineptitude and criminal behavior. Bonta has become the example that Trump is now implementing on a national level.
Builders are a business. They exist to make money. If you expected something else, you’re an idiot.
State housing law has always been a compromise. It harnesses the greed of the builders to get some affordable housing built without having to tax citizens and pay for that housing directly with public money.
I hope this doesn't come across too insensitive but curiosity got the better of me. Watching the session last night with my family it became clear to all of us that there's something wrong with Jim. None of us could identify it but he's clearly got some kinda disability or condition. Does anyone know what it is and is he alright? 😟
Luke’s “One nation under god, fire is an enemy foreign or domestic” speech was the most garbled, fragmented sentence, nonsense I have ever heard. Stop trying to make some grand flowery speech and talk in plain English. You are as dumb as a burlap sack full of cement, and it’s painful to watch you try to sound eloquent.
Another DISASTER of a council meeting followed by a flurry of damage control sessions by team LukeJim and their handlers.
Even hardcore Hatespear voters are beginning to wonder aloud if they've made a TERRIBLE MISTAKE.
The more comfortable LukeJim gets up there, the more their true personalities and beliefs are revealed, the more obvious it is how painfully stupid and twisted they are.
Encinitas voters are realizing they were duped and these two jokers DON'T represent that values of Encinitas.
We were so desperate to stop the Blakespear overdevelopment we ignored all the warning signs of what was coming!
I have no idea what Joy Lyndes was up to this morning. However I can tell you the first thing she should've done was contact Bruce and the City Attorney to initiate a censure of Jim for his defamatory remarks last night. If Jim doesn't apologize from the dais on record, Joy should pursue civil action.
Everybody remember during the campaign when Bruce was saying our hands are tied and that all he could do if elected was to approve projects under protest with notes attached saying he didn’t feel good about approving it?
He assuredly had that line prepared before he ever sat down in his chair last night, but no— that’s not anything like the 4 hero’s promised us. Not even Rachel Glad Hands Graves and her sign language communication directives could salvage a coherent response. At one time Bruce was grasping at straws with the city attorney- “What if we just do nothing? Can we just adjourn?” Problem solvers extraordinaire this new council. Big on promises, which were easy to make. Turns out the job is hard and this bunch is lacking gravitas.
Bruce never expected to be in the majority. It’s far easier to be a bomb thrower from the back bench. He’s backed himself into a corner, and now he’s saying exactly the same thing the previous council were saying: our hands are tied, the only thing that can be done is changing state law.
It’s what the adults have been saying all along. But the dumb people who think like Luke won’t hear it.
I love that we have a flawed, citizen run council, with varied opinions and passions. Bruce is a masterful council manager and it’s obvious Luke and Jim, though new to their seats, feel passionately about protecting citizens and doing what’s right to keep neighborhoods safe. I commend new council member Marco San Antonio for keeping quiet, observing and remaining humble.
The last council, Joy included, didn’t have to do any of the work, they knew how they would vote ahead of time, every time. Did we all get so accustomed to so little discussion that we no longer expect any from city leadership? Blakespear bullied and cowed everyone in her way in her single minded obsession to accelerate her career. Tony was just too lazy and no doubt sold us out many years ago.
This is democracy at work. It’s ugly, emotional, it questions, it pushes back and discusses important issues with the seriousness they require. It’s not perfect and doesn’t try to be.
City staff was so flat footed last night. How dare council members ask questions they should have the answers to.
I’ll take this flawed council over Blakespear and Kranz any day. This housing fiasco is on them and Bruce will get the blame.
What an uninformed, ungrateful group of people the finger pointers are. Where were you when all this started in 2018?
Cool story. You should tell it to the dozens of voters who still believe Luke and Jim aren't an unmitigated disaster.
This isn't showing how the sausage gets made. This is showing how the sausage get made when only one person in the room knows how to make sausage, has ever eaten a sausage, knows what meat is or where meat comes from. The rest of the "cooks" are schizos with one hand caught in the grinder, quickly turning the crank with their other hand while yelling at imaginary monsters that exist only in their heads.
The conclusions of these meetings are precisely the same as the old council. 4 meetings, 4 mega projects approved BEACAUSE IT'S THE LAW. Only now it's with added theatrics and hysterics making the entire city look like fools.
Luke is a dummy who can’t finish a sentence, can’t even pretend to follow the law even with Bruce coaching him, and can’t understand where the populist noise stops and actual real damage to the city begins.
Freaks don't understand that the demographics of Encinitas have changed. Gone are the sunshine tax days. Last night speakers were wonderful. Freaks look foolish to smart people.
With the exception of the city council, Encinitas Democrats won in a landslide. Most of them won by margins far beyond the winning council candidates. Encinitas voted 2:1 Harris over Trump including the most red district of D4. The anti woke, anti DEI, anti equity, anti mask, anti vax, anti trans, anti everything clowns yapping all day on social media didn't get a mandate for their far right wing views. The new council was voted in for one reason and one reason only. The promise of stopping over development. So far the new council has failed miserably at that task.
The demographics haven't really changed. What's changed is crazy people now have a platform from which to spread their insanity and lies. Trump and his brand of populism has normalized ignorance, blatant deception and hypocrisy to a degree never before seen in this city or country.
Remember all the shithole losers crying about a conspiracy where they were the victims of private companies with terms of service robbing them of their first amendment rights to free speech, even though the first amendment only restrains government, and not private companies?
Yeah.
Well, I wonder how those champions of free speech feel about the government physically restraining a reporter from doing his job for the crime of using the words “Gulf of Mexico.”
New council, same as the last council. Only now with reality show level drama and over acting. Their hands are tied but with extra sad faces and comparisons between luxury apartments and children sent to gas chambers.

The time to have been awake and on alert and fighting was five years ago. The Blakespear legacy was on full display tonight as folks woke up to that reality. Make no mistake, she and Kranz profited from this crap gift to the residents.
Delete1248. Yes, they did. The entire equity story was a lie and used as way to distract. Mali will go down in Encinitas history as a fraudsters.
Delete1239 we have not had a democracy for a long time in Encinitas.
DeleteBut we do have an amazing freak show!

Not Margo, but it looks like he won again.
DeleteI love that you anonymous keyboard warriors think I'm lurking here when I've got other shit to do!
DeleteWe have been fighting for a long time. Many people in Encinitas fell asleep at the wheel or maybe thery were afraid to speak? Now, they are waking up. The Baldwin project should never been exempt from CEQA.
ReplyDeleteI miss Tony’s one hour of proclamations when he asks someone to say nice things about him!
ReplyDeletethen he completely Ignore public comment , and focus on implementing pet projects that waste tens of millions of dollars on facilities that only a Handful of old Karen friends use, and ignored other city business.
He loved his Evening walks on the closed to the public to Beacon Beach access with Admiral Starvin, and create useless DEI programs.
He / she completely ignored infrastructure like drainage and street safety issues that gets the city sued Daily. When asked, he said, that was the job of the Cardiff GIMP.
I want my big fat stupid TONY and gravy stained sweats wearing DEI Garden gnome back!

Bruce promised to stop all density development with no consequences.
ReplyDeleteSteve Joplin at it again. This guy is the freak of all freaks.
ReplyDelete624 I think he's blowing Gjata.
DeleteWell, Gjata has his mouth full on Kranz’s morphy. 🤢
DeleteYou're wrong Joplin is blowing Sabellico. He made a complete ass out of himself during public comment at a council meeting last year. The guy practically got booed from the room.
ReplyDeleteI heard a Freakshow rumor that Kevin S (BIA Jazz hands) is blowing Starvin behind Phony’s back.
DeleteI absolutely get a stiffy when I listen to Abe speak about traffic issues especially when he’s talking about my bike trap designs. Hey Abe, do you wanna play pickle ball later? Hee Hee.

The worst day in encinitas history.
ReplyDeleteThe city of encinitas has been strongarmed by the corrupt gangsters Gavin Newsom and Rob (the fag) Bonta with Marco (the loser and criminal) threatening everyone one with lawsuits.
We will all rejoice when gangster Margo is run over by a bus. That is not a threat is a promise
Blue
DeleteRun over by a bus? Damn, that's aggressive.
DeleteWhat WTF is wrong with you people ?????????
ReplyDeleteThis entire multi apartment building spree was forced on ALL of california by the brain dead buffoon gavin newsom and a.g bonta.......under threat of lawsuits to every city and town.
You jackasses voted for leftists and it is what you got, so....
STFU you friggin morons
Under Republicans think again. Jerome stocks was just as bad.
Deletejerome stocks was governor ? Why is it leftists can't focus. Someone provides a truth and leftists go to
Deleteanother direction. Proving yet again...........

ReplyDeleteLol
ReplyDeleteI think I woke up dumber thanks to Luke’s performance last night.
ReplyDeleteAnd I heard Jim’s microphone filled an assault charge with the Sheriff.
Luke is smarter than you'll ever be. His character is 100x your little weenie
ReplyDelete8:31am Divide and conquer?
ReplyDeleteJust listening to the public comments. HAHAHAHAAHA. Nothing I love more than D4 voters speaking up and telling the council how badly they fu'd up. Sheila Cameron was excellent as well.
ReplyDeleteSheila lied at least twice, maybe three times.
DeleteIf so, not much different than the POS liars that that are blabbing on about Joy to distract from the idiots they got elected.
Delete9:22 what did Sheila lie about? The rest of us didn't catch it.
DeleteWas Marco G wearing a dress?
ReplyDeleteYeah, you wanna borrow it?
DeleteWell, he supports boys in girls bathrooms so it's not that far fetched. His best buddy Scott Weiner is a pedophile so there's that
ReplyDelete🤷♀️
And then you got the predator brother-in-law.
DeleteChevron announced today that it is pulling out of California after approximately 140 years. They will, apparently, close their refineries, which provide about one third of California’s fuel.
ReplyDeleteThe company tried to speak to Gavin Newsome to see if they could find some way to remain viable in the state. He refused to take their calls and texted back instead, saying ‘go ahead, I’m good’.
Chevron is joining everyone else, in Texas.
And, the Titanic steamed ahead, as fast as it could, toward the iceberg.
Let’s take back our state and get rid of the crazy Progressive Liberals. Vote NO on Blakespear, Horvath, Bonita, Remer, etc.
We need more like Ehlers, Luke and Jim.
💯
DeleteStill waiting to hear how Sheila lied. Luke did say what she attributed to him. We'll wait.
ReplyDeleteSheila said that he should have chosen one of the applicants who would not change Prop A, but there were none.
DeleteThere were 3-4 who said if anything they'd strengthen it. So if you're trying to call out semantics, it was clear he meant weaken it. He'd already signaled that privately.
DeleteWould like to see Luke's closest advisors helping him, not making his excuses no matter what. That's not good for him or them.
DeleteLuke indicated that people with children have more skin in the game. He did not say the others had "no skin in the game." This was a lie.
DeleteI've spent more than 60 years following local politics. Never have I witnessed newly elected officials shed supporters with the speed and scale of what's happening right now with Luke and Jim. Every meeting has been a circus and Bruce is clearly the only adult in the room. This isn't what residents thought they were voting for. Bruce summed it up perfectly when he told them "I've been doing this for over 20 years and you guys don't know what you're doing and that worries me."
ReplyDeleteSad to say, can't argue with that.
DeleteDon't pretend that they didn't have the 2-2 tie vote orchestrated before the meeting even started. Bruce certainly has been around long enough to know how these things work. Put on a show for the council meeting attendees, blame everything on the previous council--- and then vote as you've been instructed. Marco Gonzales told them exactly how it is, and after Bruce cranked his organ and his trained monkeys did their little dances-- the appeals failed as planned.
DeleteAmateur hour at city council. That was wild.
DeleteThat's because voters thought they were electing LukeJim. Who Encinitas really elected was non resident Crazy Rachel. Many viewers of recent meetings have now realized the talking points and attitude from LukeJim is all MAGA Rachel. She brought the same toxic, ill informed stupidity she displays on social media to the council chambers. It was laid bare for all to see last night. Rachel was seen on camera all night acting like a stage mom directing LukeJim. Not only is she prepping them before meetings, she was recorded feeding them lines, telling them how to vote, how to speak and more. We can expect more of the same from Marco San Antonio as Rachel was behind his appointment as well.
DeleteMMW it's all going to come out eventually and these scandals are going to make the awful Blakespear years look like the good old days.
👆 shut the hell up Arizona Joy. It’s time for you to resign and start working for the BIA in Arizona..
DeleteAllison: you lost. Nobody is feeding anyone lines. When you drove over the lagoon and saw the place you loved, it was the Shaffers, O'Haras, San Antonios and all the others who have made this place what it is, that you loved. It was not the other way around. Nobody saw you and said, "we'd love to have your corrupt-developer-paid-puppet-ass here."
DeleteNevermind the rumors we've all heard. Rachel was literally caught on tape last night. Comparing Rachel to a stage mom directing her kids as mentioned by 12:14 is 100% accurate.
DeleteI heard from some staffers that Rachel's been using Luke and Jim's offices in city hall while they aren't even there.
DeleteYou're ignoring the fact that the massive upzone of QGD project was approved with 2 key individuals ( 1 on council and 1 the chair if the Planning commission) that quite literally were working for the Baldwin company. The state has b9xed in the city of Encinitas at every point into a corner not by being a transparent entity but by fraud, grift, and one party rule l. The same people that spent $24B on solving the homeless crisis caused by gayvin Newsom yet increased homeless by 40% while lining the pockets of douche canoes.
ReplyDeleteMarco is one of them and is a fraudulent corrupt grifting scumbag who needs to be eradicated in a workmanship like fashion.
Eradicated? Damn, sounds like things are escalating in mom's basement! And help me out here, who was it on Planning Commission or City Council that was working for Baldwin when the property was upzoned back in 2018?
Deletemarco g. raises his own hand
DeleteMarco feeling vindicated that the residents and city lost. Again.
DeleteWhat a man that Marco is. Bravely supporting the state backed developers his friend, former mayor Blakespear sold out her city for.
Marco is no better than Trump.
2:12,
DeleteIt’s a conspiracy.
(altogether now)
You are a victim.
Yeah, kind of vindicated given how often you all tell me I don't know what I'm talking about. But mostly just happy we aren't going to waste a bunch of taxpayer funds getting sued for denying projects with no legal grounds.
DeleteDeveloper always have a story of altruistic intent of housing those who otherwise couldn't afford to live in Encinitas. In practice, they build as many luxury, market rate units as possible and keep or sell off those scarce affordable units that often end up occupied by friends, relatives, or connections. In other words, they skim off the profit for themselves and fight every attempt to make them address the shortage of low and very-low income housing to address our RHNA numbers. They use gangster tactics to say that residents must accept what they offer regardless of safety, traffic, parking concerns. Even when fraud and malfeasance is identified in the project, they say that there is no choice but to accept ineptitude and criminal behavior. Bonta has become the example that Trump is now implementing on a national level.
ReplyDeleteBuilders are a business. They exist to make money. If you expected something else, you’re an idiot.
DeleteState housing law has always been a compromise. It harnesses the greed of the builders to get some affordable housing built without having to tax citizens and pay for that housing directly with public money.
I hope this doesn't come across too insensitive but curiosity got the better of me. Watching the session last night with my family it became clear to all of us that there's something wrong with Jim. None of us could identify it but he's clearly got some kinda disability or condition. Does anyone know what it is and is he alright? 😟
ReplyDeleteLuke’s “One nation under god, fire is an enemy foreign or domestic” speech was the most garbled, fragmented sentence, nonsense I have ever heard. Stop trying to make some grand flowery speech and talk in plain English. You are as dumb as a burlap sack full of cement, and it’s painful to watch you try to sound eloquent.
ReplyDeleteWas that the part where Luke said our state government is a domestic enemy and it's time to pickup a rifle to fight them? 🫨
DeleteYup. He literally used the phrase “pick up a rifle,” to describe how he plans to stop builders remedy after his hack bullshit posing loses in court.
DeleteThis guy is a POS domestic terrorist in waiting.
OMG the wheels are coming off!!!
ReplyDeleteAnother DISASTER of a council meeting followed by a flurry of damage control sessions by team LukeJim and their handlers.
Even hardcore Hatespear voters are beginning to wonder aloud if they've made a TERRIBLE MISTAKE.
The more comfortable LukeJim gets up there, the more their true personalities and beliefs are revealed, the more obvious it is how painfully stupid and twisted they are.
Encinitas voters are realizing they were duped and these two jokers DON'T represent that values of Encinitas.
We were so desperate to stop the Blakespear overdevelopment we ignored all the warning signs of what was coming!
Headline:
ReplyDeleteCouncilman Luke Shaffer makes motion for R80 builders remedy construction across all of Encinitas. Designs motion to assure a loss in court.
I have no idea what Joy Lyndes was up to this morning. However I can tell you the first thing she should've done was contact Bruce and the City Attorney to initiate a censure of Jim for his defamatory remarks last night. If Jim doesn't apologize from the dais on record, Joy should pursue civil action.
ReplyDeleteActually, it's making all realize what went down starting in 2017.
ReplyDeleteHere's what's coming, more rain and some CERF.
Councilman shot, killed after shooting at construction workers after embarrassing court loss.
ReplyDeleteEverybody remember during the campaign when Bruce was saying our hands are tied and that all he could do if elected was to approve projects under protest with notes attached saying he didn’t feel good about approving it?
ReplyDeleteMe neither.
He assuredly had that line prepared before he ever sat down in his chair last night, but no— that’s not anything like the 4 hero’s promised us. Not even Rachel Glad Hands Graves and her sign language communication directives could salvage a coherent response. At one time Bruce was grasping at straws with the city attorney- “What if we just do nothing? Can we just adjourn?” Problem solvers extraordinaire this new council. Big on promises, which were easy to make. Turns out the job is hard and this bunch is lacking gravitas.
DeleteBruce never expected to be in the majority. It’s far easier to be a bomb thrower from the back bench. He’s backed himself into a corner, and now he’s saying exactly the same thing the previous council were saying: our hands are tied, the only thing that can be done is changing state law.
DeleteIt’s what the adults have been saying all along. But the dumb people who think like Luke won’t hear it.
I love that we have a flawed, citizen run council, with varied opinions and passions. Bruce is a masterful council manager and it’s obvious Luke and Jim, though new to their seats, feel passionately about protecting citizens and doing what’s right to keep neighborhoods safe. I commend new council member Marco San Antonio for keeping quiet, observing and remaining humble.
ReplyDeleteThe last council, Joy included, didn’t have to do any of the work, they knew how they would vote ahead of time, every time. Did we all get so accustomed to so little discussion that we no longer expect any from city leadership? Blakespear bullied and cowed everyone in her way in her single minded obsession to accelerate her career. Tony was just too lazy and no doubt sold us out many years ago.
This is democracy at work. It’s ugly, emotional, it questions, it pushes back and discusses important issues with the seriousness they require. It’s not perfect and doesn’t try to be.
City staff was so flat footed last night. How dare council members ask questions they should have the answers to.
I’ll take this flawed council over Blakespear and Kranz any day. This housing fiasco is on them and Bruce will get the blame.
What an uninformed, ungrateful group of people the finger pointers are. Where were you when all this started in 2018?
So will you be picking up a rifle and joining Luke in shooting construction workers just doing their jobs?
DeleteCool story. You should tell it to the dozens of voters who still believe Luke and Jim aren't an unmitigated disaster.
DeleteThis isn't showing how the sausage gets made. This is showing how the sausage get made when only one person in the room knows how to make sausage, has ever eaten a sausage, knows what meat is or where meat comes from. The rest of the "cooks" are schizos with one hand caught in the grinder, quickly turning the crank with their other hand while yelling at imaginary monsters that exist only in their heads.
The conclusions of these meetings are precisely the same as the old council. 4 meetings, 4 mega projects approved BEACAUSE IT'S THE LAW. Only now it's with added theatrics and hysterics making the entire city look like fools.
let me guess your sausage eating expert is marco gonzalez?
Delete3:17, I get it. Eating sausage is like a gay man performing felatio.
DeleteYou are so funny and original.
When’s your standup special coming out?
One vote.
ReplyDeleteWe were one vote away from builder's remedy destroying the city in ways nobody can even comprehend. That's the braintrust we voted in.
Yup.
DeleteLuke is a dummy who can’t finish a sentence, can’t even pretend to follow the law even with Bruce coaching him, and can’t understand where the populist noise stops and actual real damage to the city begins.
He’s in way over his head.
I think we can now declare that Encinitas has a new dumbest council member of all time. I don’t even need to say the name. You all know.
ReplyDeleteFreaks don't understand that the demographics of Encinitas have changed. Gone are the sunshine tax days. Last night speakers were wonderful. Freaks look foolish to smart people.
ReplyDeleteRight.
DeleteAnd talking about shooting construction workers is totally normal.
With the exception of the city council, Encinitas Democrats won in a landslide. Most of them won by margins far beyond the winning council candidates. Encinitas voted 2:1 Harris over Trump including the most red district of D4. The anti woke, anti DEI, anti equity, anti mask, anti vax, anti trans, anti everything clowns yapping all day on social media didn't get a mandate for their far right wing views. The new council was voted in for one reason and one reason only. The promise of stopping over development. So far the new council has failed miserably at that task.
DeleteThe demographics haven't really changed. What's changed is crazy people now have a platform from which to spread their insanity and lies. Trump and his brand of populism has normalized ignorance, blatant deception and hypocrisy to a degree never before seen in this city or country.
Funny story.
ReplyDeleteRemember all the shithole losers crying about a conspiracy where they were the victims of private companies with terms of service robbing them of their first amendment rights to free speech, even though the first amendment only restrains government, and not private companies?
Yeah.
Well, I wonder how those champions of free speech feel about the government physically restraining a reporter from doing his job for the crime of using the words “Gulf of Mexico.”
Shithole losers.
Number of US aircraft carriers that collided with commercial ships under Joe Biden:

New council, same as the last council. Only now with reality show level drama and over acting. Their hands are tied but with extra sad faces and comparisons between luxury apartments and children sent to gas chambers.
ReplyDelete^ nailed it.
