Full pdf here.

We want a jury trial and there are so many people we want to see testify under oath!

  1. I hope the attorneys go to the archive backup of emails from a few months ago, because you know there the delete key was burning at City Hall over the last few days to clear past correspondence on the issue.

    they never worry thats its illegal, they are just trying to keep their job for awhile longer.

    this should be a fun one to follow, but they will probably burry the reports like they did with the whole https://thecoastnews.com/city-of-encinitas-agrees-to-11-million-settlement-in-walker-lawsuit/

    They will settle for tax payer's millions and move on.... after-all its not BIAspear's white privilege generational money at stake and she wants to work in Sacramento and play with the other communist elites. All the clowns do not matter, its the BIAspear show.

  2. There is a complete culture of dishonesty, poor standards and greed at the city among city staff. There is a large group who do not deserve to have their jobs.

  4. There is a long history of corruption in the Planning Department going back two decades. There are credible leaks about a gifted expensive mountain bike, under-the-table payments done at Leucadia Pizza at lunch time, and currently payoffs to get the right decision from a planner.

    The city's going to have a tough time with this lawsuit. First it's in Federal Court. Second it may be a jury trial. Third the suit alleges violations of federal law which will be much harder to argue against. Fourth more names as plaintiffs will likely be added as other low income people come forward who were not given proper consideration by the builder and city. Looks like some heads will roll at the city.

    1. Exactly, 1:32! Heads need to roll, from the top down. Blakespear cannot point the finger at her "professional staff" and claim ignorance. Negligence on her own part is the best she'll be able to do. Her and her toady council members Kranz, Mosca, Hinze.

  5. Blakespear needs to be removed from office. Her cronyism for kick backs is over the top.

  6. Let's hope the suit proceeds quickly and produces condemning evidence before the June primary. If not by then, before the Nov election.

  7. Since Marco's gone silent, can we assume he is part of the inner sanctum of wrongdoing and condemning evidence? Asking for taxpayers. He has all the appearance of being an unofficial member of the mayor's "professional staff."

    1. He did say that he was going to stand shoulder to shoulder with Roy and the staff when the Planning Commission voted this project down. Let's see if he stays on a sinking ship with the Encinitas planners who have been doing his bidding and the bidding of the developers for years.

    2. I'm not involved in any way with the suit at this time. Not hired to defend anyone, no evidence to provide regarding the sale of the property at issue. I guess I could provide information about the original entitlement, but that's about it. I will say, however, that (big surprise) I don't think this suit has legs on its primary claim that this particular transaction was in any way discriminatory. The 55 year rental requirement complies with state law, and the complaint fails to state how this is insufficient to beat discrimination allegations. There is no right to purchase subsidized housing, and the selection of long term rent versus sale does not have a discriminatory effect. However, if the plaintiffs are able to prove that the City has systematically failed to track affordable housing and enforce compliance with rental or sales requirements, that could result in some form of remedy. If I were to guess, however, the current complaint will be found insufficient for failure to state a claim in a preliminary motion (12.b.6) and the plaintiffs will have to amend to bring in substantially more detail.

    3. The city has systematically and consistently subverted the purpose of the density bonus law.

    4. Subverted with Gonzalez's help. Tell us again how much you care about those who need a helping hand up, Marco. When you're trying to take the high moral ground your "it's the law" bullcrap that you and the mayor mechanically repeat doesn't work.

    5. Gonzales does the tap dance of verbal subterfuge. He cares less about the low income group - they don't line his pockets. He is already defending the Rancho Santa Fe investors - they speak his language - $$$$$$$$

    6. What's amazing is that he persists in posting like anyone will believe him. That's a special kind of ego.

    7. You guys are lame. What do you think is the "purpose of the density bonus law?" Not a single person here is willing to discuss the fact that this property will provide subsidized housing for income qualifying renters for 55 years, and this is exactly the intention of the Density Bonus Law. There is nothing in the law mandating sale of Density Bonus units. Until you're willing to debate with any measure of intellectual honesty, just STFU already.

    8. The alternative to renting is buying by a qualified low income party. That's what the city repeatedly prevented from happening. The city preferred a wealthy investor to who knows how many among the ~80 who applied. That's what the federal suit is about, Marco, and you are full of shit. You define hypocrite.

    9. Here is the classic just because it’s legal doesn’t make it right, although most likely more than one law was broken here. It just adds to proof the city and lawyers involved have no conscience and are self serving in a most arrogant manner.

    10. Building more units anywhere in this over developed desert is wrong.

      All development should be in areas with ample water supplies. quite f'cking over the native americans at the tail end of the Colorado. Haven't we done enough?

    11. Marco. We heard you and understand, so stfu with your "intellectual honesty" argument. Or the "our hands are tied" argument. The fact is that property adds to the corporate-owned landlord inventory at the expense of a deserving family who otherwise could have lifted themselves out of their current situation and started wealth accumulation for their family. Keeping it a rental disincentives the individual that is lucky enough to live there, making sure they don't succeed in life and disqualify themselves out of their home. Selling to an investor is itself "dishonest".
