Harry Eiler: Dump Stocks!

Harry Eiler is a long-time resident of New Encinitas in the Willowspring neighborhood near Encinitas Boulevard and El Camino Real.

He's also a long-time supporter of the pro-developer council majority, including hosting an event for Kristin Gaspar in 2010.

So it was very interesting to see his letter in the North County Times:
It is time the Encinitas City Council have some new faces. Mayor Stocks has had his time at the public trough long enough. I offer the following:

I am generally opposed to those who reside in the small communities of Old Encinitas and, most notably, Leucadia and Cardiff. They do not see the overall picture and fret over their minority role in the city. Their resentment at not being a singularly significant part of Encinitas dictates much, if not all, of their agenda.

Their desire to perpetuate some undeveloped beach town simply pales in the need to intelligently progress. Plus, the bloc of Tony Kranz and Lisa Shaffer with Teresa Barth (supported by single-minded backers — audet et al) only ensures continued discord at City Hall. Enough. We need independent, nonaligned representatives and not more majority rule by behind-the-scene manipulators.

I recommend Mark Muir for re-election because he is reasonable, intelligent and brings some continuity. I also suggest Bryan Ziegler for his youthful enthusiasm — long lacking in our city’s business — and Kevin Forester for his experience and ability to compromise — other talents missing on the council for too long.

It's also interesting to hear the pro-development point of view from someone who is not apparently motivated by financial ties to developers:

Their desire to perpetuate some undeveloped beach town simply pales in the need to intelligently progress.

Mr. Eiler has enjoyed decades in Encinitas as it is, a beautiful residential beach town without a lot of high-density development and traffic congestion. Why would he deny that opportunity to future generations? Where is it written that the need to "intelligently progress" cannot be done within existing zoning guidelines?

  2. Sorry pal, you lost any credibility with me when you went after Maggie Houlihan for those "96 campaign violations", and then went after Tony Kranz, and besmirched him at a city council meeting. If anyone is a behind the scenes manipulator, it is YOU.

  3. I agree with 2:21.
    I support not voting for Stocks and Muir for the reasons of a better future for Encinitas.
    I do think Mr Eiler has identified himself with slime that his current 'come to Jesus' revelation does not wash off.

  4. The letter was written acknowledging that Stocks is toast and to save what's left, for an open door for developers, is to pick a different group. Heck even Muir is campaigning on his own now. When your best friend(s) run from you before battle, it's time to raise the white flag!

    I can't wait until Tuesday evening!

  5. Dump Stocks, Fire Muir, Stop Forrester.
    Shut the mob up: Mike Andreen, Harry Eiler, and Ken Moser: evil, evil people. We are tired of you BS rants and threats. Go find other victims, you weasels.

  6. Harry will be happy to know that he is getting a speed bump close to his house.
