The developer of the luxury Alila Marea Beach Resort won Encinitas Planning Commission approval Thursday for a project next door that will include apartments, hotel rooms and restaurants.
[...]
The 3.79-acre project site, which is just south of the hotel on N. Coast Highway, is proposed to contain 94 apartments, of which 19 will be set aside for low-income people. There’s also a 34-unit hotel that will be connected via bridge to the existing Alila Marea Resort. Some of the apartments will be built over a parking structure, others will be above commercial space. Jackel said the commercial areas could contain everything from an ice cream shop to high-end restaurants.

Where are the hypocritical SurfRiders Association? Apparently mega-development along the coast is A-OK. They have conniption fits over sea walls for private property, but corporate cluttering of the beach is acceptable. Phony organization!
ReplyDeleteIs this just where the long abandoned restaurant is now?
ReplyDeleteincludes the abandoned restaurant and the property with Roberto's and behind it
Delete1058 – yes. Yeah surf riders get against opposing privacy walls but they support and CTD and SANDAG completely building a seawall along all of the Delmar coastline and don’t say anything about NCTD fencing complete coastal access through Lucadia.
ReplyDeleteTotal hypocrites and Tony Kranz sucks!!!
Tony Kranz lead NCTD’s effort defense the entire coastline. He was so bad that he fired himself last December as NCTD chair. Pathetic!!
He probably fired himself as chair cuz he got tired of taking shit from know-nothings like you.
Delete*NCTD & Leucadia
ReplyDeleteNow I see a bunch of old people and young people having to climb over the fence to get through Leucadia. Injuries are going to be on the major upswing and I hope people sue the shit out of Tony Kranz.
ReplyDeletePeople oppose about building fences along our border yet Tony Kranz builds fences within our own city blocking us from the coastline. WTF?
people are going to sue Kranz for getting injured climbing a fence to illegally cross the tracks? are you really that dumb?
DeleteIllegally?. That’s a stretch. NCTD is an authority that’s managed by a public agency. Public is the keyword. Public rights should be maintained. This is the first time in thousands of years that pedestrian pathways to the beach have been blocked due to a human decision to block these historical pathways from our ancestors.
DeleteIn the end the fools at NCTD will relinquish to the public good.
The benefits of historical access to the beach far outweigh any perceived benefit of the empty diesel burning pollution human mower with low ridership other than the Grim Reaper.
Pendleton is “public” land.
DeleteHow’s about you go test your access theory up there?
I don’t live in Camp Pendleton and this blog is not regarding Camp Pendleton
DeleteI guess if 1:48 realized how irrational his argument is, he wouldn't post it.
DeleteI guess 10:24 realized how irrational and off topic his comment was so it was not worth wasting a comment on nonsense.
DeleteI think they should sue Kranz. As their elected official, he as supposed to promote their free access to the beach like what has existed for thousands of years.
DeleteHe was supposed to implement a grade seperated crossing at Leucadia blvd. well before a thousand train blast started killing everyone near the rail alignment.
He was supposed to champion a quiet zone form the get go. Gaspar, Barth, even BIAspear spoke of the need for a quiet zone. Not Kranz.
He fricken pump up the train blasts and did nothing for residents.
He promoted increasing train service. He promoted buying more diesel burning cancer causing, asthma causing, kid killing pollution to our children at Paul Ecke Central. It's likely the reason why so many of your kids have asthma and other lung issues.
I thought there was a water and power shortage....
ReplyDeleteGuess not. Be careful...these jackasses will soon have every square inch of the coast line here in San Diego County filled with ghetto apartments. And guess what comes with ghetto apartments...CRIME. Good thing the Supreme Court ruled on N.Y. California is next. Lock and Load
They're no ghetto apartments, and they won't produce crime. You are a moron.
DeleteLA Beach community here we come!
DeleteMore water meters with less water here we come.
More homeless here we come!
More crime here we come
Gridlock traffic here we come!
Kids dying of asthma and lung cancer here we come!
No coastal access, here we come.
Boy these leaders really know what they’re doing in Encinitas
1:47 love the dry humor.
ReplyDeleteCrime on the way like never before….L and L buy omma

I know WC no longer manages this blog. But I do know he watches it daily. I know WC.
ReplyDeleteWith that, I ask WC and its current managers to post a topic on this awesome post to SANDAG. This speaks to the deepest issues of America and why we have been a democracy for 300 years +

ReplyDeleteThe high density housing element is nothing more than a successful conclusion by the developers' political lobbies to overrule local growth control. The lackeys like Blakespear do the clean up work by suing the citizens' that dare put initiatives on the ballot to control growth and maintain the livability of their communities. Despite resource shhortages and infrastructure overload, the developers then jam in mega high rise dumps that permanently alter the landscape. Notice that Speedy G is representing the hotel development - the humble man of the people. Now he is fighting with local tradesmen for job access to the hotel mega mess on the beach.
ReplyDeleteKranz's attitude about over development - "What can you do?"
ReplyDeleteRight. He says that and then does everything to support the state and over developing a coastline including suing our own citizens Who are trying to maintain a cool Beach town.
DeleteKranz is the enemy of Encinitas!
Kranz's campaign manager still has a thing for him. Can't wait to see the "debate" replay to hear how badly Kranz burned. Anyone actually go?
DeleteEnvironmental issues might be able to slow the growth on health and welfare issues. Given a mega drought, how can massive development be rationalized? There then should be no water rate increases or rationing of water - that should be written into the development permits. Traffic mitigation is a consideration - cars idling for 45 minutes to go 3 blocks to the freeway adds to air pollution, not to mention the mental and economic welfare of those stuck in line. The development where Sunshine Gardens was is a natural water courseway - it will require consideralbe alteration for flood control. The impact on the natural balance of the ecosystem, no matter how slight, must be examined. It empties out at Moonlight Beach, a source of recreation for a huge segement of the population.
ReplyDeleteWhere's Mr. Environment - Speedy G? He sued La Jolla for shooting fireworks over the ocean. I guess there's not a buck to be had here. He's too busy fighting the carpenter's union.
Maybe it is just me, but those ticky tacky boxes look the same as what is planned for the Capt. Kenos and adjacent properties.
ReplyDeleteWho the ... comes up with these designs? Small minds, to my mind.
To imagine there was ever a consideration to a particular locale taken.
The developer said he was "inspired by Barcelona," proving he has never left the country.
DeleteYou could buy the properties and make something you like.
DeleteShaddup, Marco. Your opinion doesn’t count.
DeleteHow many times do I have to remind you that I post with my name, unlike the chickenshit rest of you (most anyway)
DeleteJeff, Jeff, Jeff. It doesn't work this way. You don't get call "Mike Tyson," convicted rapist, your personal hero, then make a public statement that actually you meant to name this other dude. This is real life. No amount of pretending on your part will change what people remember actually happened.
ReplyDeleteMorris is an amateur, not ready for prime time. Kranz is sold out - Encinitas is screwed.
ReplyDeleteAt least Morris shows up to meet with people, unlike that creepy Leucadia woman no one's heard from in weeks.
DeleteMargo's rep. as an environmental warrior was squandered years ago. He has been a whore for developers ever since and probably even before then. $$$$$$$
ReplyDeleteWe have had the 'privilege' to have him set up shop in our town. How do we get him to move on is the question?
He certainly would not be missed by the residents who actually value this community.
Speedy G would fry up Flipper to make a buck!
DeleteAlways such tough words from the anonymous keyboard warriors on this site! Funny how CLG continues to prosper on all fronts despite this apparent negativity from "the residents that actually value this community."
DeleteCovid response was 100% about $$$
ReplyDeleteSociety should learn from this huge disaster public policy i’m government response. Do not let your Liberty be crushed.

*This huge disaster of public policy and government response
ReplyDelete1+ million deaths in the US, 6.3 million deaths worldwide. It's all been a hoax, right?
ReplyDelete11:39- you’re the exact type of idiot that the health industries focused on. Clearly you don’t understand the referenced video.
ReplyDeleteThose referenced 1 million US and 6.3 million We’re gonna die from something that was not reported. People die every day all around the world.
The point is is the US was paying hospitals and saying that if any test showed someone had Covid which The test results were very questionable to begin with, than that person was listed with Covid and the cause of death was COVID.
So if you look at the related other causes of death during Covid. You have a tremendous reduction in all the other causes of deaths. Heart attacks were down, cancer is down, everything but Cove was down.
The net result was no increased deaths around the world. Instead the world population dramatically increased.
During Europe’s Spanish flue/ plague One and three people died. 1/3 or 33.333%
During our Covid pandemic- with all of the other deadly causes of death with Covid the fatality rate is 300/100,00 or 00.30%
https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality
Yeah. I would call that a hoax. If you don’t you’ve cut your head up your ass!
The COVID response was completely driven by $$$. Press fed off of it because they love dirty laundry, and idiots like you followed Newsom and BIAspears recommendations and closed our beaches, killed our businesses, did severe damage to children’s mental health, annihilated the US public health in general, and took away our freedoms. My question to you is: what the hell is wrong with you?
WTF? Did Covid destroy your common sense?
Covid or the other underlying condition they suffered such as stage four cancer. Cardiac arrest, extremely old age, or morbid obesity?
DeleteYou are part of the problem. Continue wearing your mask forever. Fool.

ReplyDeleteGood reference - https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2021.630449/full
ReplyDeleteThis says it all-
ReplyDeleteIt is unknown how many people were infected during the Black Death and 1520s smallpox outbreaks. An estimated 500 million people (1 in 3 worldwide) were infected with Spanish flu and 1–3% of the global population died from the disease (5). Thus far, 75.1 million people have been confirmed to have COVID-19 (~1 in 104), killing 0.02% of the global population (7).
Disease susceptibility and immunological naivety influence the outcome of pandemic disease events. Both plague and smallpox are highly infectious and affect people of all ages, though smallpox exhibits a significantly higher mortality rate amongst children compared to adults (9). Spanish flu had severe impacts amongst the otherwise healthy 15–40 age group while also affecting typically high-risk groups (23). COVID-19 is different; it has a low attack rate (29) and severe clinical disease occurs mainly in the old and those with pre-existing health conditions (11).

Newsom and team should go to the State Prison and BIAspear and Kranz should be forced to move from Encinitas at a minimum.
- Recall Kranz Now
12:25- Meaningless words from a complete idiot.
ReplyDeleteSince you’re not a part of the solution and focused on positive impacts to American citizens, you are part of the problem.
You are the ignorant type of resident that I hold great distain.
I hold great disdain for you and your type of deniers in the face of experts who you continue to deny. Everyone but you understands the meaning of 'novel' as it relates to covid.
ReplyDeleteNever mind. You are hopeless.
Are you the type that wears their mask inside the house, in the car, in the shower? Hmmmmm?
DeleteAnd the thought humor was dead...not a chance.
What is pathetic is you buying into what faux news, oan, and newsmax sells. You are a danger to our community.
ReplyDeleteSo CNN is the evil one. Really?
People have wild thoughts. What they're saying might make a little sense if it were the US alone that pushed for masking, vaccinations, closures, but we weren't. Basically the entire world was on board, and CNN, democrats or whatever they're imagining, don't have the power to make that happen.
DeleteNo one reacted like the USA. That OK, keep watch CNN and wear your mask forever. Charlie called it.
DeleteThe whole world lost all faith in CDC. Zero credibility.
He was right!

CDC zero credibility… the blew it for when there is a real issue.
ReplyDeleteYour mask looks great on you. Keep on watching CNN.
ReplyDeleteTrump & his lame, unqualified administration made the CDC look bad because he was a sick joke of a president. Why anyone supports a man too foolish to become the mini-dictator he wanted to be, I will never understand.
ReplyDeleteCan’t we ever stay on topic? Sigh...
ReplyDeleteHow long have you been around? haha
ReplyDeleteIf only........
Thanks for giving it a shot.
If you notice one thing, it is that the right wingers always go astray and make their same old, same old tired talking points straight out of certain news? sources.
It is eternally exhausting but deserves to be countered by a dose reality. Btw there are no alternative facts as much as they like use them. Oh well it is always worth a try.
All those meaningless words=Lword
DeleteWrong again troll.
ReplyDeleteNo worries. It is only slimy being his usual slimy infantile self.
ReplyDeleteYou are years out of date!
DeleteSo you are the 'new' slimer in chief carrying on the tradition of attacking women that never post here and haven't in a decade?
ReplyDeleteWe should believe you? I have a bridge I can sell you. Grow up, why don't you. Be a man for a change.
Yes, you have nailed 8:07 as the new slimer!
DeleteCould be Jeff thats his MO
DeleteNo… you got me. I’m the new slimer Marvy Charles talking to you from the otherside. Now get a grip on yourself Lword. You’re freaking losing it 100% now. Go join your bat-ass crazy other friends, watercolor, and talk about the great times when crazy eyes was mayor of Encinitas City Hall.
DeleteYou're talking to yourself, 2:37.
DeleteIt's Mikey Andreen slithering out to say hi. Back in yer hidey hole, Mikey!
DeleteMan you’re good. You nailed it.
DeleteIt’s Mikey here. I just can’t wait to strike up a blog conversation with that word and crazy eyes. That is my dream day.
DeleteWho you working for now that $tock$ is a has been?
DeleteAnyone who has a Ukraine flag or colors in their yard = IQ lower than the curb
ReplyDelete9:30 You're a Putin puppet!
ReplyDeletespeaking of MO why has Morris deleted all his old raving videos? whats he hiding.
ReplyDeleteMorris as mayor would be chaos. Kranz would be sell-out.
DeleteMorris is chaos and Kranz is a sell out. Already know what you'll get with each.
DeleteJulie Thunder said the City is planning another round of up-zoning. 1504 proposed units were categorized by the city as all "affordable"; the developers were allowed to reclassify 20% as "affordable". So the 'deficit' must be made up - Blakespear and friends trying to rigg the election? Otherwise, the incompetence is astounding! Encinitas is being buried by inappropriate mass development, over loading the roads and infrastructure. Vote against all incumbants.
ReplyDeleteThinking on "stupid". Did you happen by the newly finished UNDER THE 5 BRIDGE on Manchester?
DeleteApparently it is for bicycles. I drive by there twice a day and what do not see? BICYCLES. In fact I rarely see anyone using this waste of tax payer money.
The buffoons were bragging about it. WHERE DO PEOPLE PARK ???? Another mindless waste of 10's of millions. People are dumbing down at an alarming rate and projects just like this one prove it.
The government, a bastion of stupid. People with ZERO EXPERIENCE making bad decisions.
Tell your friends, 9:20. That's the only way to get BOOPO (Blakespear Out of Public Office), aka ABC (Anyone But Catherine).
DeleteThese clowns tell us to use less water but they O.K more ghetto apartments. Makes perfect sense. It's as though there are a bunch of joe bidens running (ruining) Encinitas. With a back up of the fake black woman, harris the cackling ass.
DeleteDoes Julie know how to read? That housing element doesn't say what she thinks it says.
Delete? What does she say it says vs. your understanding 11:35? Be specific and try to convey something useful to your reader.
DeleteGetto? Not even close for what the cost is. Affordable? Not even close either.
ReplyDeleteThat our city allows selling the few affordable units to investors should be criminal. It is corruption and hypocrisy at the highest degree and is as disingenuous at it comes.
There is no excuse for seeing the very few affordable units that make it through the process and that end up being sold to investors instead of the long list of qualified low income applicants.
This sell out is an outrage. A new majority is our only hope for true representation. Cleaning out the planning dept. planners is long over due. "There is not a project we will approve". The residents concerns mean nothing. This has to end with a new majority. It has to.
"we will not approve of" correction please.
ReplyDeleteJiminy crickets! That’s a whole lotta words for not saying anything. We all know who that is. 🤮
ReplyDeleteWe all know who you think it is and you have been wrong for decades. You know this to be true and yet you relentlessly slime on. You must have quite a thing for those couple of residents who you unjustly target.

ReplyDelete"At least Morris shows up to meet with people, unlike that creepy Leucadia woman no one's heard from in weeks."
If by "shows up to meet with people" you mean pushing his wife out in front to work the room and hand out her business cards then that doesn't count. Neither does drinking with a patron or two at our local dives.
Calling Cindy Cremona "creepy" is where Morris goes because he can't begin to wrap his head around the issues and actually formulate plans to solve them. Ranting "just say no" doesn't count, Jeff.
Can't wait to hear Cremona debate Morris. An audience that thinks critically vs acting like the junkyard dogs we see propping up Jeff Morris will immediately eliminate him as viable.
DeleteMorris is not ready for prime time.
DeleteCremona was a big Morris supporter until she saw a chance to run and scrubbed herself from the Watchdog page.
DeleteMorris clan big on “betrayal” and it’s never about how crazy they get. They give everyone who leaves an earful.
DeleteMorris for Misogyny
ReplyDeleteYep, that “creepy” remark of his was very revealing.
DeleteFrom Morris’s newsletter today:
ReplyDelete“My first stop was at the Olivenhain Parade, with excited kids riding their decorated bikes.”
Not true. You were an hour late and folks had already left. We already have a liar in chief, no thanks to more of the same.
Time to tell us the plan behind your “deeply cares about Encinitas” rap. Put up or drop out.
I used to find Morris' campaign posts in my spam folder. Today I got one in my inbox. My God, what is the world coming to?
ReplyDeleteUnsubscribe as I did, problem solved.
DeleteThat would be less entertaining.
DeleteHe takes ideas from others he's got nothing. Cue a real debate let's see what he doesn't have.
DeleteFunny Morris complains about newcomers here to take over our town. What does he think he is?? Between him and MWD and now this Garvin guy they are all grifting and regular residents are the losers. Who is paying their bills??
DeleteIt’s true that Mali and Garvin are newcomers on the scene. Ohh, and you forgot to mention New Yorker Newcomer Cindy Cremona who somehow thinks she’s equipped to be Mayor. As if Cindy can handle Mali, Marco, Garvin, etc. Not! As far as Jeff Morris goes, you’re sadly misinformed. He’s the only long time resident of the bunch. He’s also raised his family here. His three children have all grown up to be fine human beings. He’s also the only one with pure motives of Saving Encinitas.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the people above you enquired about as to who is paying their bills: With the exception of Mali, they are all retirement or close to retirement age. So I don’t expect they need anyone to pay their bills. Mali is the only youngster of the group. Despite her whining at a city counsel meeting a while back about how we need affordable housing and she and her boyfriend would never be able to own a home in Encinitas, they bought one in Fox Pt Farms only a few mnths after her infamous fake sob story. Turns out her shackup boyfriend is a well paid L.A. Fireman. And I’m sure you’re aware that organizations like BLM and SEIU both of which Mali was working for when she arrived send volatile people like her around the country to create problems like she did w/her protests in Encinitas, Csbd and the San Dieguito school board meetings. Mali colluded w/now fired Superintendent Dr Ward in pushing to get CRT in the schools. Garvin divorced his E.Coast wife before he moved out here, but has a gf now. Garvin though volatile like Mali doesn’t come close to her frequent outbursts. His big claim to fame for volatile behavior is the assault charge against him by his daughter resulting in a court case. This could explain in part why he left the E.Coast for a new start. But perhaps there’s a business angle involved too? Just as Mali was sent to Encinitas by organization/s, perhaps an organization sent Garvin here to mess w/Encinitas and to campaign for Tony? Garvin seems all too invested in local politics for someone who just moved here. Cindy is so silent and sneaky that she doesn’t seem like she can be trusted. No one including Cindy seems to have a good answer as to why Cindy moved here including Cindy. Tony is a weak befuddled follower who almost seems apologetic for it, but at least we all know what he’s up to. Whereas New arrival New Yorker Cindy is a complete enigma who like Mali is also living w/a shack up boyfriend. Not too much in the way of stability going on w/any of these people who are lacking the solid foundation of a family. And if Cindy can’t even show up for a low key debate with the other 3 candidates, how can we count on her for any heavy lifting. Silent Cindy reminds me of Hide-in Biden when he was afraid to come out of his basement and talk. And w/good reason. Look at him when he does talk. If Cindy can’t handle things this far, she’ll surely hide if Marco is anywhere. And he is! He has his hands in every big building project around town. Jeff Morris is a long time resident and family man who has stood the test of time and stayed the course in his mission to protect Encinitas. He’s looking better all the time next to these deceptive, unstable, newcomers on the scene.
ReplyDeleteYou are a fucking idiot. What is a "shack up" bf/gf for any of these people? Are we living in the 1940s? Morris is a dumbass, and most people know that.
DeleteGarvin you have become a has been and any more from you will only further the respect, rather the lack there of, that his community will hold you responsible for. stfu
ReplyDeleteTony is a lost cause and so are you.
Cindy has had the wisdom to ignore her opponents calls to participate in a compromised debate and will shine when a legitimate debate is held by respected entities this Fall.
Fools rush in and Tony and Jeff are prime examples.
Good on Cindy for not waisting her time with these fools so early in the process. BTW, I am not a part of Cindys' campaign but I wholly support her run for the betterment of our community.
