  1. So apparently the desert is out of water. Ask Tony what we should do and he will tell you.

    Build more housing and put in more water meters! Smart Dalakranz as usual.

  2. That was an hour and a half of wasted time I won't get back.

    Since the pandemic is waning, shouldn't the emergency situation return to what normal is these days?

    Another year was approved for the restaurant's to stake their claim to the downtown roadway and all too few parking spots.

    Maybe next Jan. with a new council majority things will change.

    1. Pandemic- phfff - you mean those few years when fat people dying from cancer and diabetes caught a virus with a (0.0006 fatality rate) and final passed on and the hospitals got $50k each for ID'ing them as killed by COVID? You mean that pandemic?

      Delete
    2. No I mean the pandemic - Where our Whitest of Whites Princess got to save the day by commanding us to stay off the beaches and stay in doors, stay isolated, do not go outside, focus on how you are going to wipe your ass, and do not socialize for two years, DO NOT go in the ocean the mist will kill you, and For Gawd Sakes - DO NOT CLAP!

      That pandemic.

      Kranz has wet dreams thinking of that kindof power!

    3. ~825,000 new cases every day in the US and 1,019,812 deaths so far. Yup, that pandemic.

      Delete
    4. yeah. Go buy some toilet paper. The real story is they put all underlying condition death with COVID as COVID deaths.

      So if you had stage IV brain cancer and stage IV lung cancer and you pick up COVID, when you die it was COVID that killed you. Pffff. plus the government was paying for COVID deaths. Of course the deaths were high.

  4. We are out of water, we have a world full of people that want to live here because it's nicer than where they currently live, and we have serious public mental health problem which includes homeless with most using drugs including alcohol, What should we do?

    Do not worry, Dalakranz will save the day.

    We will command existing residents to turn off their taps to a trickle. You are no longer are allowed use any water (well lets say a few gallons to they have to keep their water meter and pay our higher rates), We will then incentivize building stack and pack cheap boxes everywhere and to any height which will do two things - 1) provides places for more humans to pack into the coast line 2) lowers the quality of life which then lowers the demand to live here and hence lowers the property values - BINGO (Dalakranz will never really understand this concept because it involves critical thinking which he lacks), then we will create a vibrant community with mucho opportunities to get even more THC and Alcohol into their blood for all the general public including our new homeless friends and neighbors, and then we will not let anyone sleep by creating a super noisy environment 24/7 including running 50 empty polluting commuter trains a day- blasting 110+ dB blaring horns with blast patterns mirroring cute little song throughout the coast from 4:45am to 12:30am and then freight trains between12:30am to 4:45 am. There you go! Problem solved!

    We now have a ton of dehydrated people packed tight into shitty little boxes with mucho TCH, Alcohol and other Pharma in their blood running on no sleep- As a result, all the people with means are looking to move to a nicer areas, what could possibly go wrong?

    Thanks Dalakranz! Your plan is working! I am enjoying the shit show!!

  5. The idea at the council meeting is pretty simple.
    1) Restrictions on water means rationing.
    2) Rationing water means we can't carry more users.
    3) This means "Sorry Bonta, no housing today"

    If the state/county/city can restrict actions based on an "emergency". Then the city of Encinitas should be able to take action based on the recently declared water emergency.

    3. Thats simple. Take the water from the existing residents and give it to our new neighbors. Like everything else BIA and Dalakranz focus on, the priority for service gos:

      !. Attracting more of the world's homeless drug addicts.
      2. New residents on government subsidies.
      3. New residents that prefer to live in highrise boxes.
      4. New residents that will live in anything with at a state mandated discount price.
      5. New resident that are stacked and packed as tight as they can be and still expand their lungs enough to survive.
      6 Existing residents.

      We have seen their priorities over and over again. Its the Tony the Dalakranz way. Noise, traffic, pollution, crime- F'k those whiney existing residents. There are tons of SF and LA folks literally dying to get out of their areas that were ruined by bad City policy and move to Encinitas where we have not ruin our area as early and have only started really focusing on ruining it since BIA and Tony DalaKranz got on City Council.

  7. All construction activity should cease on new housing. We are in the midst of a serious drought, where strict restrictions are being imposed. A moratorium should be passed until the situation changes; raising rates and reducing use by current residents in order to accomodate additional residents is inappropriate. Blakepear is a sell out to the big developers. God help us all if she makes the State Senate.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Its should, but Tony Dalakranz will not go for for that.

    Tony is focused on ruining our town just like SF and LA did to their towns 30 years ago hence the flood of their residents to our beaches and town. They turned their towns in to crowded cesspools and now Tony is focused on following their mantra of ghetto building.

    1. Tony is a half-wit, that never should have made it to any level of government. Small town politics, where most residents are ambivalent about what goes on in City Hall. As a result, yokels are put into office and then are told what to do by their Masters (Ecke, etc). Leichtag then took Tony's leash and had their own mutt to do their bidding.

  9. I feel so bad for the citizens of Leucadia.

    Coastal access that has been in place for millions of years is being fenced off today on the west side of Vulcan Avenue from La Costa Ave., South

    This is the direct result of Tony Kranz as chair of NCTD to plan, approve and now construct fencing that’s blocks coastal access.

    Tony is the Satan to Encinitas.

    1. Coastal access for millions of years by what? Mastodons? Tyrannosaurus rexes? Humans have been in the Western Hemisphere for about 33,000 years. The RR tracks have been in Leucadia since about 1883.

      Delete
    2. OK animal hater whatever. I’ll go with your numbers and say for the last 10,000 years humans have been crossing our area to get coastal access. Animals much longer.

      In 1883 the railroad constructed its alignment because it was cheapest along flat coastal alignment. They never thought about impacts to coastal access or sea level rise or coastly rosion. They were just focused on lowest cost just like developers.

      Then from 1930 to now the population has boomed and no one rides the outdated Diesel burning cancer-causing empty trains. But thousands of people prefer to walk to the beach to experience the natural beauty.

      In the 1990s the Coaster service started but never really gained ridership.

      Even with that TONY led NCTD and cranked up the service up to 30 trains a day. He never even suggested NCTD to do undergrounding or quiet zones.

      Phony Dalakranz is Satan to Encinitas. Why is he even here?

  10. For the moron who posts here and denies global warming and sea level rise:

    Pacific countries have often been seen as the canary in the coal mine for the climate crisis, with the region suffering from king tides, catastrophic cyclones, increasing salinity, sustained droughts and the loss of low-lying islands to sea level rise among those most at threat from the climate crisis, with low-lying nations at risk from rising sea levels.

    Climate-induced migration has already begun from the Pacific, with people across the region forced to leave a number of island groups that are disappearing or becoming uninhabitable due to rising sea levels.

    Last year’s report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said global heating above 1.5C would be “catastrophic” for Pacific island nations and could lead to the loss of entire countries due to sea level rise within the century.

      Where is the water coming from to raise the seas??
      Hmmm? Oh' that's right, melting ice from the ice caps.
      That is where all the Polar Bears are dying because they have no ice walk on. No...wait...that story is 25 years old and all the Polar Bears were going to die.
      Fast forward to today. There are more Polar Bears than there has been in 50 years roaming the "non existing ice". Like magic...amazing.
      Been the to the beach lately? Of course you haven't.
      Tides are the same, they go in they go out. Nothing new. The "warmers" have been screaming about gullible warming for decades and oddly the east and west coast of the U.S "still isn't underwater" Why not?.

  11. 604 was a complete attempt at deflection. . Trying to get the focus of Tony Kranz damaging impacts to Encinitas off-topic.

    TONY is a loser and should be run out of town.

    2. I will definatly continue to highlight the damage and suffering Tony Kranz imposes on Encinitas every day he is in office.

      I will also suppport and sign any recall election removing Dalakranz as soon as possible. I would guess it will come from Leucadia Now, or https://encinitasquietzone.com/. since Tony is the root of their problems, but I could also see it being pushed by https://leucadiatowncouncil.org to try and regain some credit after many of their "boardmembers" supported BIA and Dalakranz in the last election. Who ever publishes it will be doing Encnitas a great service. Again, I will sign it and support it by sending it to 50 of my Encinitas voting friends.

      The best thing moving forward is to Stop Tony Kranz and support https://encinitasquietzone.com/ and stop fencing off coastal access that has been in place for thousands of years.

      Fricken Kranz is responsible increasing cancer and retarding mental development in kids and increasing the onset of Alzheimer's.

      Under Kranz's vote of approval and championed the increase as chaiman of the board of NCTD, the number of weekday Coaster trips from 22 to 30, also the number of summer Friday trips from 26 to 32, and the number of winter Friday trips from 22 to 32, summer Saturday trips from 12 to 20, and winter Saturday trips from eight to 20. Trip times will be modified to better cover peak travel hours and improve overall service.

  13. What fool would think tony ever had the power to dissuade the railroad industry from doing what they do?

    Answer that you fool.

    While I cannot wait for him to be sent to other pastures, and will have to wait like the rest of us, his influence over how many trains plow through our neighborhoods has never been within his power to affect. At the most, his position has been advisory only.

    You have to have been aware of that fact. The railroads would never let an independent entity to have an iota of power over profit margins. Get real. Money is the one thing that drives just about everything.

    As an offshoot of sorts, there was a meeting of like minded residents preservation for what the coming Melba project will bring. Their attempts of what we all love and hope for our city at the Bethlehem preschool yard this morning is something we all should support with all of our hearts.

    tony had a very limited few who would even waste a minute on engaging him. HIs purpose even being there is.... never mind, I don't have a clue why he showed up after his willing sublimation to the queen.

    Watching him waddle off alone back to his car without a single supporter was its own reward. He is toast and deservedly so.

    I see his attendance as a fishing expedition to spy on this community's attempts to stop the steal of what we all love and why we defend our community whenever we are able to.

    Have at it.

    Do you really believe the RR would allow any limiting of their money making enterprise by a local transit organization?

    Fantasy imaginings. Try some reality, why don't you?

    Pray tell, what power the NCTD really has been given by the RR to oversee? their business model of profiteering at all costs. At the most, the NCTD is a bump in the road to the RR.

  18. NCTD, which is part of SANDAG, owns the railroad right-of-way. Burlington Northern and Amtrak pay NCTD to use the ROW. I seriously doubt that Kranz and NCTD can tell BN and Amtrak how many trains to run. They can, however, decide how many Coasters to run.

    1. Wrong again. Dumbass. There is only so much time available on the LOSSAN considering all the single track areas that will take billions to relocate and make double track. Two big ones are the Del Mar Bluff and second and even bigger is the San Clemente beach alignment. NCTD controls the time on its segment in coordination with the other parts of LOSSAN. You know there is a LOSSAN Board right? - https://www.octa.net/LOSSAN-Rail-Corridor-Agency/Board-of-Directors/

      The Old ATSF now BNSF sure stuck it to NCTD dumbass board and the tax payers. The cheapest alignment back in 1780s had some future expensive issue to deal with that we are paying for now.

      Tony was and is too stupid to sit on any board like NCTD or SANDAG. Every decision Tony makes is bad for Encinitas.

      Delete
    2. There were no trains in the 1780s. CA was part of Mexico then.

      CA Southern RR came in 1881+. Frank Kimball was the prime mover. The alignment in San Diego County is mostly on the coast because construction started in National City and hugged the bay so sea and rail transport could be coordinated. Going north, the ROW went where the flattest land was. North of Del Mar, that was on the coast. The line used to turn inland at Oceanside, but was washed out twice, so the replacement went up the coast to OC and LA.

      Kranz has never been on the SANDAG board.

      I'll leave it to others to point out all the other things you got wrong.

  23. I think person saying the railroad issues are national issue is missing the point. The point is when Tony Kranz was chair of NCTDE championed the effort to increase rail service starting in October of last year from 22 trains per day up to 30 transfer day thereby creating hundreds of addition 110 dB horn blast per day through Encinitas and other coastal towns.

    2. The fencing is to protect NCTD from liability suits. It's low enough to step over. 6:13, you sound like a presumptuous asshole.

    3. 8:36- is the injury to the public from trying to climb over the fences is going to be much greater than without the fence. Plus what about all the kids and dogs. The death rate along the railroads was significantly lower without the customer service. That would be reducing the likelihood of striking a person 30 times a day. That itself would be a reduction of 50% liability for NCTD. All of this for a train rideership that serves just a few customers per day that get asked to drive anyway when there’s problems with the train which regularly occurs.

      You sound like a existing councilmember with a very weak mind who should not be making decisions for the city more or less the region.

  30. GEEZUS-

    If Oceanside can do it, San Diego twice, All of San Clemente, all of Solana Beach, and Cardiff, you would figure Encinitas and Leucadia should easilly be able to accomplish the quiet zone.

    For Osides, The job required improvements such as new sidewalks, traffic signals, signs, striping and landscaping to five railroad crossings: Surfrider Way, Mission Avenue, Wisconsin Avenue, Oceanside Boulevard and Cassidy Street. The budget for the project was about $8 million, with most of the money from state transportation grants. - https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/communities/north-county/oceanside/story/2021-07-04/oceansides-railroad-quiet-zone-takes-effect-this-week

    Too Bad, we have shitty Kranz in Leucadia. Tony is focused on bringing more train noise to Encinitas, fencing off the coast line, and closing down existing beach access points like Beacons.

    TONY has to go. Recall Kranz.
