You’d be hard-pressed to find a more quintessential California surf town than Encinitas, a sun-drenched pocket of coastal North County San Diego where wet suits hang like flags from bungalow porches and taco shops promise “No shirt, no shoes, no problem.” But when Morgan and Trevor Gates moved back to the area in 2018 after spending a year in Boulder, Colo., it wasn’t so much Encinitas’s beachy energy that convinced them to buy a home in the neighborhood of Cardiff-by-the-Sea, with its dramatic bluffs and cluster of oceanfront restaurants. It was its elementary schools.Lots of discussion on real estate prices, schools, and development.
“We liked the vibe, the landscape and the downtown that feels like a small town,” Ms. Gates said of Encinitas, a 20-square-mile city with about 60,000 residents. “But first and foremost, it was the school district.”

That was quite the article...Just kidding. A. Who are these people and why do I care, B. Two paragraphs about nothing. C. The NYT is nothing more than a leftist fish wrap.
ReplyDeleteThey don't mention that the dramatic bluffs have been shaved down by the expansion of I-5! This was the only feature that SANDAG identified that they should preserve, and they have ruined much of the Manchester cliffs.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised they didn't mention any of the negatives, like the racists that frequent this blog, or Blanco Nightmare doing home invasions.
ReplyDeleteI'm open to new candidates for city council and mayor. Just not community destroying BIA members, and admitted election cheaters.
ReplyDelete". . .Turney and Canler are required to admit to 13 Political Reform Act violations and agree to pay a $1,000 fine, according to the FPPC announcement."
Sheesh.
Can't we do better than this?
Sounds like the BIA are planting articles. Our town is nothing more than a cash cow to them and our city is in bed with them.
ReplyDeletesomething tells me 2:23 is not as open as he claims. it's that BIA stank that's a dead giveaway every time. they have it good under the current regime.
DeleteYou’re saying the BIA wants to out one of its own members to stop a concrete queen from getting elected?
DeleteYeah. No.
I assure you, the BIA doesn’t want you to know one of their members is a candidate. They want you to think the candidate is anti-BIA.
They should feel right at home in the new Olivenhain High Rise Towers.
ReplyDeleteI smell snark and it's Eau d'Andreen.
ReplyDelete2:23 Oh and let's not forget Jerome Stocks "double dipping" from Barrett Homes. Didn't make good until he was caught red handed. FPPC stuff is tech allegations, but...you know that.
ReplyDeleteNot allegations.
DeleteSusan Turney admitted to 13 counts of breaking the law.
I bet her confession is in writing. A simple FOIA request to the FPPC would produce it.
Encinitas voters defeated Measure T & U and opposed the HEU that grew from them because they provided too much market-rate housing and not enough affordable housing. VOSD has never gotten that right. The NYT picked up the wrong conclusion.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mayor Blakespear for inviting all the worlds sketchy criminally insane homeless to Encinitas.
ReplyDeleteEncinitas was and is a great town. Not sure how the flood of homeless will effect our quality of life and property values? Ha!!!
Worse Mayor Ever. ABC
Let’s see. Inflammatory rhetoric. Lies. Attention seeking. Yup. It’s probably Jeff Morris. Did you get kicked off Nextdoor again?
DeleteJeff learned all his tricks from the Westboro Baptist Church.
6:10 is the village idiot, everyone has one, ours is just extra idiot.
DeleteWhat intelligent sentient compassionate human being would encourage people to live in their cars?
DeleteDisgraceful.
Our elected officials along with their virtue signaling propaganda believing "vice presidents" should have never ever allowed this abomination.
They should have simply used their dirty money to create a homeless shelter with inside bathrooms, beds, and showers along with good hot meals to actually create a solution.
But of course they would not be intelligent and thoughtful enough to think of something as useful as that. Their brain dead thinking would rather use that money for mitigation of the ethereal folly of sea level rise so we all can survive the Todd Gloria propaganda of climate Armageddon.
These irresponsible conspiracy theorists should be sent to Bernies gulags.
Is this some type of evil cosmic joke?
Giant meteor for mayor would be an infinite improvement.
I tried to read the fluff piece on Blakespear in the Coast News. I couldn't get past the 2nd paragraph. She can't fix the streets of Encinitas let alone be responsible for a county wide organization. Just another example of failures leading failures. But it's govt, can't expect anything less.
ReplyDeleteCoast News = Beachgrit= Pravda
ReplyDeleteThere are a multitude of folks that have no real idea what is real and what is propaganda.
It's a sad state of affairs.
We are devolving into a full-blown police state. The court system is becoming a national punchline but the joke is always on us, as liberals continue to weaponize all the levers of govt to attack their opponents.
Don't worry, Bloomberg will fix it...after all, he's a man of the people!
Hey 3:10
ReplyDeleteDo you believe that building walls and cages for children, pardoning dirtball criminals are steps away from a police state? You're expressed opinions are stupid. You're sub 90 - right?
Learn the difference between you're and your, dummy.
Delete6:36 the only children I would cage is yours and the offspring of these criminals (solitary enshrinement if you will):
DeleteJudge Amy Berman-Jackson poisoned Roger Stone’s jury pool by:
Throwing out a conservative juror because she worked for the Reagan campaign “30 years ago.”
Accepting a juror who is MARRIED to one of the lawyers working on the Mueller case against Trump.
Accepting juror, Tomika Hart, a well-known attorney and former Democrat candidate, who posted anti-Stone/anti-Trump statements on social media, before, during and after the Stone case ande most importantl;y while the trial and deliberations were going on. Hart lied on her jury questionnaire.
Accepting juror, Seth Cousins, a well-known, Democrat activist whose anti-Trump rants were also easily found on social media.
(Suspicously, Berman-Jackson also seems to sit on every anti-Tump, trumped up case!)
U.S. intelligence agents, Halper and Mifsud were sent to Europe to target George Papadopoulos. They tell Papadopoulos the Russians have Hillary’s emails. Papadopoulos tells the Australian … but only George gets arrested.
FBI’s Peter Strzok and Lisa Page reportedly huddled with McCabe in his office to concoct “Andy’s Insurance Policy” while giving each other personal favors LOL
The FBI interviewed the dossier Russians, who said … “We heard that stuff about Trump over beer at a bar! It was only meant in jest! We didn’t think the FBI would actually use it.”—Horowitz Report.
Obama State Dept Official Kathleen Kavalec sent a memo to all of her criminal a ASSociates in O Admin, warning the dossier was fake but they used it, anyway.
Crooked Comey, Rosenstein and Yates signed four (4) FISA warrants using the dossier, which Comey admitted before Congress was ridiculous and never certified by Intel.
FBI Agent Kevin Clinesmith CONCOCTED an email to frame Carter page, which is tantamount to “planting evidence” on a defendant.
Although Clinesmith planted evidence against Carter Page, he was allowed to continue working for the FBI another 2.5 years, collecting a salary funded by tax-payers.
Bruce and wife Nellie Ohr funneled information against Trump to the DOJ and FBI, concocted by Fusion GPS.
Andrew McCabe (skinny pea arm angry man) was acquitted after admitting to lying under oath but Roger Stone may face 9 years in prison for peeing on the sidewalk.
Horowitz disclosed that Carter Page worked for the CIA, which the FBI willfully hid from the FISC, in order to get the Spy Warrants.
3 FBI agents said Flynn never lied. The NY Slimes quotes them in a January, 2017 article … “FBI Says Nothing Illicit Found In Flynn Calls” and yet he was still indicted for eating cheese puffs.
Strzok and Page ALTERED the Flynn 302s, which the FBI is desperately trying to cover up. (Flynn’s attorney, Sydney Powell, has a witness to the fact)
The FBI knew about Manafort’s “short comings” since 2006 and did nothing, until he worked for Trump. Police state leftist Judge Berman tried to murder him by placing him in solitary confinement.

ReplyDeleteBlakespear Supported by BIA, approved doubling density on Encinitas, and Newsome's action to house homeless on state public lands, is advertising for all the world's poor and homeless to come to Encinitas for free room and board.
ReplyDeleteResults- Encinitas will be super crowded with crowded beaches and people crawling all over themselves in our previously family friendly town. Drugged out homeless are skyrocketing in town and along with that sketchy crime.
Blakespear is the WORSED Mayor in Encinitas History. She is even more damaging to Encinitas than Stocks if you can possibly believe that fact. Possibly the worse Mayor in the County of San Diego history.
ABC
Sloppy post from a mush brain. If you're not alert enough to get the spelling right, nobody respects your weak thinking.
DeleteIt "all boils down to the leftists failure". The State government of California. Never forget, the State suing the City of Encinitas for low income housing.
DeleteName one thing the America hating left does, that works.
Just one, come on. And don't write things that happened thirty years ago. I'm writing about now. The new left socialists. Constant failures
Lily Ledbetter fair pay act. The right to marry who you love. More people with healthcare coverage. Expanded national parks and monuments. Tighter standards on water and air pollution.
DeleteOhhhh phoey, I forgot I could marry my dog now or more than one person. I forgot that tax payer money pays for someone else's health insurance and I forgot that a certain party doesn't want clean air and clean water. How on earth could I have forgotten those importand decisions.
DeleteA May 2018 Gallup poll found that 67% of Americans supported same-sex marriage.
DeleteWhy do you hate America?
LOL grammOr poleece dutchbag!
ReplyDeleteNothing to add- Attack the grammar.
ReplyDeleteBlakespear = waves of homeless squatting in Encinitas + Stack and Pack like downtown San Diego.
Julie = Family style beach town.
Blakespear sued by the BIA, makes $0 from concrete stack and pack destruction, cares about Encinitas as a lifetime local.
DeleteThunder: family business a member of the BIA, profits off concrete stack and pack destruction, will turn Encinitas into her hometown of Barstow.
If you're so careless that you can't get the form right, nobody puts value in your content. Your thinking is weak and lame. That shows.
DeleteForm.
DeleteMiriam Webster:
7(c): a mold in which concrete is placed to set
Example: Thunder Jones has various forms to suit all of your stack and pack concrete needs.
8:02am^^^
ReplyDeleteLeft wing hack, who relentlessly promotes lies and useless propaganda, is terrified that the folks who know the democrats are marxist liars will have their clocks cleaned in Nov.
But keep watching Roswell Rachel and living in a fake news fantasy world.
:golfclap:
Lies, you say?
DeleteWhat lies?
All truth here, with evidence. I can back up any point you’d like to dispute. You won’t challenge anything specific, because you know it’s all true.
8:13 -it is hilarious that you write about "useless propaganda" while parroting Blackwell's, fox and friends, "left wing hack" vomit..middle finger to u
DeleteThe left...mindless children with A.D.D in adult bodies. Even after proving the corruption within the deep state, the America leftists don't stop. They simply move on to the next fabrication. Funny thing is, they are much too stupid to understand that what they are doing is exactly what the communist party has done for over sixty years.
DeleteAhhh, the left. The enemy within.
They are crazy.
Colllllluuushun is real and spying is a hoax.
ReplyDeleteNo need to argue with an anon poster who cannot or will not face reality.
It would be like peeing into the wind.
Have you ever peed into a gale force wind?
