    1. I’d rather hear a million “er, um’s” than listen to Bob and Theresa again.

    2. That's how I feel about Campbell, nothing against him, but it's never clear what he's trying to say....

    3. Was Jim able to make it through the meeting without attacking fellow council member Joy or having a meltdown?

    1. I think it's being held at a church that provides outreach to the homeless/poor. The preference would be to not give icky places like that credibility.

      Delete
    2. Clearly she thinks it should be on city property.....

      Delete
    3. You think churches are 'icky places'? St. Andrews does a great deal for our community. They truly walk the talk.

    4. Of course you want to try to twist it ๐Ÿ™„

      Why is city business being held in a church when there are numerous city properties?

      Delete
    5. Remember when some people had a temper tantrum when a debate in the last elections was going to be held at St. Johns (I believe)? Same logic.

      Delete
    6. St Andrews, not St. Johns, sorry.

      No, I don't think it's icky at all. I support them 100%. I'm saying that's the motivation for not wanting the meetings held there. They don't want the poor and homeless to receive any help in Encinitas, their goal is to get them out of the city ASAP.

    7. See Elena Thompson's comments as further proof.

    9. Julie Thunder, Susan Turney, Alex Riley threw a fit and pulled out of the debate at St Andrews in 2020 even thought they got the questions in advance. Losers.

      Delete
    10. Well, Susan Turney can't even understand how RHNA numbers work, but because she's a member of Our Neighborhood Voices, she thinks she knows everything

      Delete
    11. Luke & Jim supporters/handlers also lost it when a debate was scheduled there. I'm guessing there was some overlap between the people involved with the two situations.

    12. The community center is an ideal location for all.

    13. Then lets hope our sensible and independent city council listens to whoever is behind the church hatred.

      Delete
    14. Church hatred? Keep spinning it until you’re dizzy ๐Ÿ˜‚

      Delete
    15. Hatred of one specific church, ma'am.

      Delete
    16. The MAGAtts, Watchdorks, St. John and rock church types .... who are mostly the same people .... hate St. Andrews. They hate it because unlike their churches and lives, St. Andrews and their parishioners actually practice what Jesus preached.

  4. San Diego got another "F" in air quality by the American Lung Association. California once again is ranked worst in the country. Keep electing Progressives who tell you everything you wanna hear.

    In the meantime, hold you breath or get a SCUBA tank cause the ALA report is awful. CA leads the country COPD, ASMA, Lung Cancer, Cardiovascular disease and has more particulates in the air than any other country by a huge margin.

    But yea don't let those little things called facts get in the way and lets keep paying for that clean gas, cause were making a difference or maybe it's Trump's fault.

    2. 8:45 Well we certainly know the Progressive Democrats don't care about the air quality in our state. They've failed on every level, and hoodwinked us on the clean fuel tax. Hopefully Blakespear will approve more hotels and resorts on our precious coast line this year. Love seeing all that runoff going right into the ocean. Thanks Blakespear.

    3. Now it will be exponentially worse due to the complete idiots in the white house. You make no sense.

    4. 9:02 I don't see the White House making any BIA, air quality, tax, road, school policy etc decisions in California.. I do however see Progressive Dems like Newsom, Pelosi, Shiff, Remer, Horvath and Blakespear making plenty of bad decisions.

      But hey, you be you and don't let those little things called facts get in the way. Go team Blakespear!

      For the 26k informed voters, don't waste your life listening to freakshow like Gonzo๐Ÿคก and Gaybeyen๐Ÿคก.

      They are the same losers that are giving Fenty crackheads from LA and SD $20 buckets helping them destroy their life and attracting more Fenty crackheads to Encinitas.

      CRC is a magnet of Fenty Crackheads to Encinitas. They need to more to Vista or some other City where they fit. We do not want to continue destroying our beach town. We don't want BIGTOWN Fenty Crackheads.

      This City Council is pathetic. Ehlers is a loser and of course was aligned with Developer Whore - AZ Joy. ๐Ÿคฎ

      O'boy AZ Joy and Dr Luke partnering as well. This City Council keeps getting better and better. ๐Ÿคฎ๐Ÿคฎ๐Ÿคฎ

    6. The difference is, Blakespear always acts like a victim, pledging and promoting “fair campaign”. Then she has her team send out nasty and false mailer about her candidates. All while playing the victim. She’s done, people are starting to see right through her atrocious behavior.

      Delete
    7. Yeah right. Some people in Encinitas love to attack, lie and demean all day long any way they can, then whine like the little shits they are when it comes back to them in even the tiniest amount. This has been demonstrated over and over.

      This council has had a nice run but they'll be on the way out soon enough.

      Delete
    8. Oh so it's ok to be a victim, just don't act like one. The false mailer/robocall is a fixture of Encinitas politics, going back 25-30 years. Back in the day, the Axis had one that suggested one candidate supported heroin....

      “In 2019, the City of Encinitas, under then-Mayor Catherine Blakespear, initiated legal action that named residents behind the "Preserve Prop. A" group as defendants in a "friendly" lawsuit to determine the validity of the voter-approved Proposition A against state housing requirements.”

    12. That happened 7 years ago. How is that relevant to anything current?

      If you don't want her to be reelected and are trying to convince others of the same, just say that. We don't need 10 posts with the same info we've all been reading for years.

      Delete
    13. No resident was sued.

      You can go to the superior court case lookup and see for yourself. Just plug in City of Encinitas as Plaintiff. You’ll strike out.

      What the City did, was open the door for anyone who wanted to join the case to defend prop A.

      You could volunteer if you wanted to be heard by the judge.

      Without that, if you tried to be heard by the judge, you’d be ruled to have no standing in the case, and you would not be heard.

      The future governor goat was so kind as to make sure the people could be heard. Just say thank you and move on.

      I guess some pieces of shit in this community would prefer that members of the public should be silenced and excluded from the discussion of Prop A.

      These people are truly terrible humans.

      Be better.

      Delete
    14. The people were heard. In 2013. Only Blakespear wanted to "clarify" whether they really wanted Prop A. Typical she knows best behavior. Judge shut her down, hard.

      Delete
    15. 9:55,

      Judge set aside Prop A so the city could pass a compliant housing element.

      Blakespear prevented the state from taking over and imposing builders remedy towers and casino.

      Blakespear is the undefeated goat.

      Fixed it for you.

    16. Not true, Judge told Blakespear to cool it and that she had no right to sue.

    4. Settled with plaintiffs and apologized for free speech violations.

    5. Only California politician to establish a legal fund that donors could donate to for her lawsuits.

    6. Supported Cezar Chavez

    7. Rubber stamped development along our coastline in what was previously protected area.

    8. Forced city employees to get the vaccine or they were fired.

    9. Fired Encinitas Fire Marahal Anita Pupping’s because Pupping’s didn’t think the bike bollards were safe.

    10. Ejected longtime Planning Commissioner, Bruce Ehlers because he wasn’t rubber stamping development.

    11. Was once quoted as saying “time to shed our whiteness” during her speech at a BLM rally at the Cardiff Kook.

    12. Asked deputies to give people tickets her were sitting in their cars watching the sunset during the pandemic.

    4. 9:51 your statement proves just how stupid your Progressive Blakespear party really are….

      You say Luke’s never had a job. Luke was an F/A 18 fighter attack pilot for the United States Marine Corps. The guy was had an 0-3 ranking. Those guys are very intelligent and hardworking.

      Do you think you could get through Pensacola flight school? I’ll answer that for you, NO. You’d be too offended!

    5. Why did Luke wash out so fast?

      We tax payers invested a shit ton in his training and he turned out to be a bad investment.

      Delete
    6. People with as little self discipline as Luke has demonstrated do not do well in the military.

      Delete
    7. 11:18 Luke didn’t wash out, he got his Aviator Wings and was commissioned an officer. He flew F/A 18’s. You don’t washout and fly F18’s. He finished his enlistment term like aviators do and was honorably discharged.

      So tell me how that’s a washout.

      But hey don’t let facts get in the way of Team Blakespear, the party of liars and garbage human beings. The freak show!

      Delete
    8. 11:58, how long is the average pilot career of a naval aviator once trained and qualified?

      How long was Luke’s?

      Answer honestly.

      Delete
    9. Have you been around many military pilots among your family and friends? I have. They aren't like Luke. At all. They're a completely different breed. If you know some, also tell them about Luke's military career. See what they have to say. Do you understand how badly things had to go for Luke to end up with absolutely nothing to do with aviation for the remainder of his time serving? Followed by early retirement? Wake up.

      Delete
    10. 12:30 you obviously never served in the military. Some aviators stay in for just their enlistment, others stay a little longer and some retire there.

      Bottom line, the guy served his country as a Marine Aviator pretty impressive and he didn’t honorably. What the fuck did Kellie Hinze, Joy Lyndes, Tony Kranz, Blakespear, Jody Hubbard, Teresa Barth etc do that even compares to what look accomplished.

      To minimize that and insult veterans like myself only makes your Progressive party look like shit. Team Blakespear sucks!

      Delete
    11. *he did honorably

      Delete
    12. Luke’s LinkedIn shows aviation as three years. Training takes two. That means he flew with wings for one year. That’s a disaster. If our military invested two years of training for one year of flight service, we’d be fucked. A normal naval aviator career is 10 to 20 years.

      Delete
    13. 3:52 maybe he was injured, happens all the time. I know he finished Honorably and that says everything. Why don’t you ask him instead of gossip and make up false claims.

      It only makes your progressive Blakespear party look bad!

    The demon blackspears was going after him in her infamous lawsuit against the Residents of Encinitas. Then, she fired him from the PC. It’s not that he wants to follow -up on that pricks destruction of our community, but that at this time there is not a helluva lot he, or any of us can do.
    Maybe things will change in November!

    7. 3:39 it’s not hard to find, I’ll give you an example….Marco Gonzalez, attorney for the developers, brother to disgraced Lorena Gonzalez and Nathan Fletcher started a PAC for her.

When that’s exposed and well advertised for all the voters to see, it’ll make her look corrupt.

  34. The developer whore blackspear approved to upzone the 15 massive projects in 2018-2019.

    The way Builders Remedy was written at that time, developers could NOT WIN in court when the municipalities sued them, due to their massive projects violating the cities MC/HE. She knew that, and with the staff’s help hid it from the Residents. Was this Roy’s big achievement? What about the fool we have now, is he also a bought and paid for by developers.
    We know that Joy and AZ Jenny and 50% of the staff are traitors, still batting for the developers ..We need the will power to get rid of them ASAP, and save ~$50Milion

    On September 19, 2024, greasescum signed AB 1886 and AB 1893 into law. Within the Housing Accountability Act. AB 1893, significantly modified the old version of Builder's Remedy to allow developers to gang rape cities in CA. AB 1886 confirms existing requirements for a local government's housing element to be in substantial compliance.

    During the poisonous developer whore blackspears time on the Council, and after her Phony as Mayor, there was still plenty of time ( 2018-2024 ) to deal with the inflated RHNA numbers, without up zoning the 15 parcels.

    Lets not forget that she gave her spandex lover boy the Agri-in-PERPETUITY parcel approval. She also approved the weighted vote, and voted with the big cities to approve the higher RHNA numbers, during her term at Sandbag. Her shill Phony, continued the allowance, with the help of the PRO-developer staff, of the gang raping of our community.

  43. *** City of Encinitas Real Time News***

    Good Morning, Encinitas! What a glorious day ๐Ÿ˜

    Seeing the headlines today highlights the fact that two agencies are almost as dysfunctional as the City of Encinitas. Those failures are SANDAG and North County Transit Disaster (NCTD).

    With ridership tanking for decades, the clowns in both agencies can not figure out how to waste public funds any faster. An urgent Congressional order needs to have the Feds investigate the huge taxpayer fraud at both agencies.

    Circulate San Diego, a transit advocacy group, said opting for service cuts instead of a fare hike would start a downward spiral.

    Start of a downward spiral? pffff. When were the last time the trends for ridership where not negative?

    Answer - Never. Both agencies have no accountability and have never met projections, goals or objectives of any of their transit core services or programs.

    “We have to keep the doors open. We have to avoid bankruptcy.” Something the City of Encinitas needs to consider when acknowledging the spike in law suits due to its extremely hazard filled and noticed deteriorated unsafe streets and unaddressed flooding areas. The City with massive property tax revenue continues to waste its resources by employing Blaskespear/Phony and Ehler's pick of an incompetent City Manager.

    https://youtu.be/TsL3qz7uerM?si=9JWMmGctYt_ezJV-&t=1161

    Truth is always good. Lets rip open the dark cloaks blocking the sunlight of truth from entering City Hall. Thank you local heroes! ❤️

    https://www.youtube.com/live/3zrJkZ42zYA?si=3KDKEc1WvLL7pcR8&t=16737

    All three agencies are symbols of complete failure - SANDAG, NCTD and City of Encinitas. All created their own brand identity of ๐Ÿ’ฉ

    What is really needed is prison time. Start by throwing our own tax-delinquent Phony Tranz and the C-word Blakespear in prison for 10 years for their crimes again humanity during the COVID human catastrophe.

  44. The City of Encinitas SANDAG and NCTD board representatives better start speaking up or they might find themselves in prison with Phony and the C-word.

    The I-5 Highway volume of 1,100,000 daily trips is 250x greater than that of the comparative daily Coaster/Amtrak trips/riders of ~4,400 from Oceanside to downtown San Diego.

    Most of the Coaster/Amtrak trains are close to empty (estimated vacancy rate ~90% which is also bad for the environment/GHG emissions)

    The I-5 Highway, buses and the blue Line Trolley (which parallels the Coaster much of the way from UTC to downtown San Diego) could easily accommodate the small rider volume of the Coaster/Amtrak.

    SANDAG often uses annualized trip numbers without any context to inflate the importance of the Coaster trip/passenger volume with statements such as “The Coaster carriers 1.6 million trips (or riders or passengers) per year.” 1 million trips is the equivalent of a tiny 4,400 riders per day (4,400 * 365 days= 1.6 million).
    Coaster is also the smallest rail line in san diego

    The Coaster is also by far the smallest rail line in San Diego, accounting for just 2% of rail commuters in San Diego.
    Coaster passengers are also predominantly high income earners which raises disturbing implications of equity and fairness given the extraordinary costs

    Coaster ridership is not only small but had been declining rapidly even before the pandemic which has created a long term impact on ridership decline.
    No population growth will limit Coaster's ridership growth-
    For the first time ever, population growth in San Diego (and in all of California) is projected to be flat over the next 40 years
    Population growth is a key variable considered in all major transit projects
    No population growth means that the geographic service area of the Coaster (north county San Diego) will remain suburban (i.e. not very dense) limiting opportunities for growth in ridership by the Coaster.

    The Coming Disruption OF Electric & autonomous vehicles:
    The two primary benefits of trains are sustainability (although empty trains aren't green) and convenience because passengers can read, work, or relax if they aren't driving. Both of these benefits are directly challenged by electric, self driving vehicles. In the future, fleet ownership of small self-driving cars may evolve into a dynamic point-to-point mass transit system that will greatly challenge marginal rail lines like the Coaster.



    Tony Seba is a successful Silicon Valley entrepreneur and world famous speaker and author based at Stanford University. His recent "Future of Transportation" presentation to the North Carolina Department of Transportation is fascinating and highlights autonomous vehicle technology.

    Low ridership also means Large financial Losses:
    The Coaster train generates massive and growing losses every year as indicated in the North County Transit District's (NCTD) worsening financial performance. In 2022 the agency lost almost $200 million dollars much of which can be attributed to the Coaster. An expensive tunnel and associated maintenance of $40-50 million a year will significantly add to this loss and continue to crowd out funding for other county infrastructure projects.
