The Encinitas City Council voted 4-1 on Wednesday to support the Our Neighborhood Voices initiative, a statewide effort to restore local control over land use and zoning through a state constitutional amendment on the 2026 ballot.
Councilmember Jim O’Hara and Councilmember Luke Shaffer introduced the resolution, saying the city should oppose state housing mandates that have limited its authority over development decisions.
[...]
Deputy Mayor Joy Lyndes cast the lone dissenting vote, stating that while she supports efforts to address housing challenges, she did not believe the resolution would result in meaningful change.

Council endorses "Our Neighborhood Voices" initiative
Coast News:
I like the former post about the road rage item that got deleted.
ReplyDeleteThis is what I heard.
People absolutely love everything that this Blakespear city Management team brings to our City of Encinitas.
I’m so glad that Bruce and our current City council fully endorse Blakespear City management team.
As you can tell m, people love all of the high density that’s being built in the huge traffic conditions and gridlock.
Couple that was Tony Kranz inviting all of the world’s drug addicts to our beach for free beach living and you got a full on high-pressure rat race.
It’s so fun to watch people shitting on themselves, masturbating in public and beating the crap out of each other from all of the stresses.
Great job Bruce and City Council continue supporting the Blakespear city management team. They’re doing great!
For the first time, Encinitas is in the news for doing the right thing.
ReplyDeleteYes!
DeleteBattle as old as civilization and 99% of the time the locals were right about how to manage their space. 100% of the time, the non-local government claiming superiority raped and pillaged the local resources to enrich non-locals. New natives, same as the old natives. Fuck Sacramento, let’s not wait until they have destroyed everything to stand next to Luke. The pussies that want to be controlled by sacramento are the problem, not the passionate locals who stand up to evil.
ReplyDeleteWe didn’t sellout the environment. We didn’t create the affordable housing scam that is based on an areas gentrified wages and is affordable to only millionaires, that was Sacramento. Base affordable housing on minimum wage and actually do something to save the environment like our local council has done or fuck off.
What exactly has the current City Council done? Fuck all nothing but endorse an initiative that is probably not even constitutional.
Delete12:22. They protected our open space that the last council put on the upzone list, they saved L7, they strengthened the mature tree ordinance, they are working on conservation and connecting habitat. Hell, Luke even went full whale wars on developers. Last group tried to upzone every single piece of open space including parks and schools. Sure, the last group banned plastic straws but that is pretty pathetic in the grand scheme of things. People who get paid to destroy this town for developer profits are the only ones who can’t accept these meaningful strides.
DeleteThey moved the L7 units to Olivenhain for the next cycle.
DeleteHow are they connecting habitat, and which ones? Heard that before....
DeleteArizona Joy will NOT be designing the L7 wondering path. It is now a park. That is a 🏆
DeleteThe affordable housing scam is , by design , for the purpose of more property tax revenue to prop up the end times of Sacramento royalty. Democrats in California are not liberals or progressives , just pigs at the public trough. It would be the same result if Republicans had the power.
ReplyDeleteThat’s the thing about republicans. They blame the left for everything but can’t even beat the wackadoodle left in an election. The only thing more worthless than a Californian politician is the republican running against them.
DeleteYou can't run people like Chad Bianca blast Bianco of Riverside Jail death fame and expect to win........
DeleteSo we’re repealing the supremacy clause in the state constitution?
ReplyDeleteCool.
Should be fun when every town sets its own auto emissions standards and starts setting up road blocks for enforcement.
What could possibly go wrong?
That kind of logical fallacy and low effort reasoning are why you lost every seat in Encinitas last election.
DeletePerhaps the point eluded you. Let me give you an analogy.
DeleteWhen I was younger I raced on sailboats. The whole fleet would go out to the start area on weekends and wait for the afternoon seabreeze to come up. We’d be bobbing around just waiting. We were also sitting ducks when thunderstorms rolled through.
Every boat had something like a jumper cable with a zinc plate on one end. If there was a chance of lightning, you could clamp the cable to the metal cables holding up the mast and throw the end with the plate into the water.
If lighting struck, less damage or injury would happen if you had the cable in place, as it provided a path for the bolt into the water. But having the cable rigged actually made your boat more likely to be hit, as it allowed free charged ions in the water a path to collect at the top of the mast and actually attract the opposite charged lightning. Even with the cable properly installed, there would be melting and damage if the boat got hit—just not as much as if it was hit without the cable installed.
So everyone would play chicken as a storm was coming on. Each boat wanted one of the other boats to rig their cable so that they would attract the lighting and take the hit for the whole fleet. At some point, a few boats would blink as the lighting was getting close and put on the cable. But when one boat saw another boat had their cable installed, sometimes they’d quietly derig theirs. Let the other boat take the hit.
But if a boat that was doing the right thing saw other boats removing their cables, they would get pissed off. The other boats were basically shifting the risk to the boat that was doing the right thing. Often the boat doing the right thing would get angry and pull their cable out of spite.
So everyone is doing a big dance, and someone could die.
At some point, the boat club had to make a rule that everyone had to install the grounding cable when storms were close. Everyone shared equally a small part of the risk burden of getting hit, but everyone was grounded so it was more safe for all.
And so it is with affordable housing and “local control.”
Either we all play by the same rules at the state level, or every town will play chicken and hope some other town is working on solutions. But the more every town sees every other town doing nothing, the more pissed they will get at the unfairness of burden shifting, and no one will do anything.
Cool story bro, also, another logical fallacy.
Delete1:40pm Thank you for the break from the usual moronic meanderings that are allowed to be posted here.
ReplyDeleteThe more every town sees that there are actually no thunderstorms, the more they will challenge the rule.
ReplyDeleteIf the crisis of lightning strikes is a lie, than the rules need to be changed. That starts with petitoning the rule makers.
3:55,
DeleteThe unaffordability of housing is already driving jobs out of state, as employers can’t afford to offer inflated wages needed.
I’m sure you enjoy denying reality when it’s inconvenient.
But the sky is blue whether you acknowledge it or not.
Negative, the overwhelming regulatory and tax burden is driving jobs away. And the sky isn't blue at night either, nor when it's cloudy.
DeleteIt would be advisable to stop every single Sacramento lawfare politco fiat project approved by mostly pedophiles. Fight fight fight and of Sacramento kiddie diddlers claim builder remedy let them. Let them, let them let them.
ReplyDeleteLet them build 25,000 apartments on the Quail wetlands site. Let them build Moonlight Apts into a 35 story 5000 unit apartments. At this point nobody cares.
^^toddler tantrum.
DeleteSomeone has molestation fantasies...
Delete👆that would be Kevin S, the Gimp, and Letcher the molester
DeleteStop the bullshit...
ReplyDeleteScott Weiner et al is your buddy JeremyKevin.
Keep your heads on a swivel, you'll need it
Coast news has a dellusional reporters.
ReplyDeleteThis event should have been called,
" Empty Businesses and Buses = Bust"
How can a City damage its citizens more than encouraging the Fenty Junkies to party on and strip down and boner up in front of the families down town, shut down the roads so a few people can teach their kids how to ride a bike, and highlight an empty bus which we see through the County daily?

Can the current City Council continue with more of its Blakespear/Kranzinitas City Hall Government?
Ask Bruce and the current City Council members. They are the ones keeping Blakespear's Kranzinitas incompetent Jazzercise Instructor in place leading the City.
My gosh, there were more cops strolling around burning Overtime than public bicyclists. Lots of paid staff, few residents attended this shit show.
North County Transit District also participated with its “Bikes on Buses” program, educating attendees on combining cycling with public transit.
Officials estimate the event drew hundreds, possibly thousands, of participants.
Boy that sounds like an official estimate - pffff
We know Coast News can do better than this. The reporters on this POS are weak and needs to go.

Hey Bruce, Luke and Jim - Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
ReplyDeleteThis is not why I voted for you.
Quit supporting Kranzinitas and hire a real City Manager. You suck!
The Encinitas City Council voted unanimously Wednesday to extend the city’s partnership with Jewish Family Service for its safe parking program through the end of 2025.
The decision followed a wide-ranging discussion on homelessness that touched on shelter availability, outreach efforts, and the city’s broader Homeless Action Plan.
Policy and Housing Planning Manager Patty Anders updated the council on the city’s Homeless Action Plan, originally adopted in 2021 to guide local strategies to reduce homelessness. The plan focuses on increasing service capacity, reducing the number of people experiencing homelessness and expanding access to housing.
Boooooooooooooooooooo
Your magnets are sucking all the fenty crack heads to Encinitas form San Diego, Oside and Carlsbad.
Everyone knows, especially the criminals and drug addicts, ship them Encinitas they love em and have zero Police presence on their streets. Other agencies send people to Encinitas magnet programs. Move CRC and close the magnet parking lot.

Boooooooooooooooooooo!
Bummed Voter!
Is this the Democrat playbook, act like you voted for the winners and pretend they hired Blakespear folks? Campbell is a Brust hire, hardly a Blakespear shill.
DeletePhony now uploading Council meetings from 15 years ago on his youtube channel. The guy is unhinged.
ReplyDelete5150 time….. his wiggin’ because the downtown businesses are starting to cut off his free beer supply.
DeleteBut why do you care?
Delete6:48 why don’t you? Guessing you’ve looked the other way when he was in office. AmIright?
DeleteYou realize of course the Coast News gets by putting in legal notices for this area and serving about half a million ads online. You expect a critical piece on a bunch of mommies and small fry bootin' around downtown? Smoke another one.....
ReplyDelete👆 That sounds about right for the freak show.
DeleteGo smoke a huge fatty, ingest tons of THC, take a fentanyl, and go to the bar for tequila blackout.
What a waste of life.
there is so much more to Encinitas and luckily most of us appreciate that.
When is the city council going to get a real city manager?
The state of commiefornia is run by the leftist losers.
ReplyDeleteBillions in debt...........what do you expect. EVERYTHING
