Mayor Teresa Barth: seniors and young people want high-density development

KPBS:

But Encinitas Mayor Teresa Barth believes the Pacific Station development represents a new kind of community.

“All of the units there have sold, so obviously, people like to live in that environment,” she said. “Whole Foods is busy all the time and people are sitting there, having lunch.”

She thinks the new development represents changing trends in the way people want to live.

“Our demographics are changing,” she explained. “The fastest growing group in our region is the seniors, people who already live here, people who are going to get out of the suburban house because the kids have all gone and they’re moving into a smaller apartment or townhouse, and they all want to live downtown. They and the millennials all want the same thing.”

Barth said both the older and the younger generations want to be able to go out their door and walk or bike to a grocery store, a restaurant, the library or the beach.

Well, we now know why Barth never signed the Right to Vote petition. And we know what to expect from her vaporware alternative ballot initiative.

UPDATE: No, just because people bought them doesn't mean people want to live there. They are speculations and party pads for the out-of-town rich. How does that help stop global warming?

Are you an unwitting opponent of Prop A?

Sources tell Encinitas Undercover that at least three people on this list of alleged "Encinitas Residents Opposing  Prop A" do not oppose Prop A, and, in fact, one alleged opponent actually circulated Right to Vote petitions and currently proudly sports a Prop A yard sign.



It is clear that Very Bad People with Very Big Money will say and do Very Bad Things to defeat Prop A.

If they are successful with the assist from your City Council, what will your City Council do to "honor the spirit of Prop A" and stop Encinitas from turning into Manhattan Beach without voter approval?
