Tony's plan to build the homeless industry is working. Lets open the homeless shelter next your your house and lets look just like Oside Blvd with all the sketchy drug addicts chasing your teenagers pushing drugs and boners. This is great news Tony. Thanks!
The latest report from the San Diego Regional Task Force on Homeless found the number of people who fall into homelessness continues to outpace the number of people who are housed. Data compiled from October show 1,343 people became homeless for the first time that month, while 647 homeless people found housing.
Those that voted for our town dunce are responsible for this failure.
Tony saids let open the homeless shelter and get this party started.
The parking lot and prospective shelter get homeless off the streets, out of parks, offer them safety and services to help them get back into their feet.
Sounds good to me.
But for some reason, the less intelligent amongst us prefer them to remain on our streets and in our parks.
The small number of homeless living in their cars that make use of the homeless parking lot does not equate to the vast number of homeless sleeping by councils permission in their vehicles all over our city along with the even more vast number of homeless without vehicles that have found our city to be so welcoming because of our current council majority's decision to invite the homeless here without our having a say is frustrating, to say the least. Now we will have our own homeless shelter which will attract even more to our town.
Why? Who is pushing this on us? What are we supposed to be gaining from becoming so welcoming to every homeless person from all over who hear how 'nice' we are by allowing anyone to sleep in their vehicles all over town besides in the approved homeless parking lot?
Encinitas is too small a town to act like the savior of societies ills. We were a gift as a surf town with a rich spiritual heritage and that was enough of a gift to share without soliciting a dark underbelly that started with the bar scene. Who’s running the show?
The City does not “need” the revenue of all the extra alcohol. It got by fine for ages, w/out all the extra bars. Many cities that want to maintain safe, quality neighborhoods set a cap on the number of establishments that can get a liquor license.
3:47 Do you have any familiarity with the city budget, its sources of revenue and its pension debt? Yes, the city does need the revenue the alcohol sales generate. That's why there are so many places selling alcohol.
The City needs the big bucks to pay all the law suit settlements for the hazardous roads, pay for the new Watercoloring with Karen Art Center at Pacific View huge ongoing construction and operational costs, and the pensions.
I thought the City was talking about improving roads? They sure need it.
Well I'm happy to report that Tony and John's new welcome homeless sketchy neighbors that they have invited to live in front of your home and will soon have a new homeless shelter build by your tax dollars and inviting more homeless sketchy drug addicts to pillage your home.
Here is my favorite part of this mornings homeless report:
About 45 minutes later, he allegedly carjacked a Ford F-250 at gunpoint at a gas station in the city of Monahans, in Ward County, Texas, but he was shot once in the chest and crashed. He was arrested a short time later.
Found in the stolen pickup was a 9mm handgun, registered to Villegas, according to the warrant.
On Sept. 23, San Diego police served a search warrant at Villegas’ home on Garnet Avenue. Detectives found clothes that matched those worn by Garcia’s suspected killer: two black sweaters, a pair of tan pants and a pair of black Nike shoes with sand on the bottom. They found three 9mm shell casings — similar to the casing found on the beach where Garcia was killed — and an empty gun case.
Texas folks can apparently fend for themselves. Unlike the racist screaming commies around this area. Ha!!
Well enjoy your influx of homeless sketchy people from all of CA and around they world. Think of them as presents from Tony Kranz!
*Well I'm happy to report that Tony and John's new homeless sketchy neighbors are doing great! Tony realized the crowded conditions in PB and felt anger that we could not participate in the deadly debacle. As we know Tony earlier invited them all to live in front of your home and will soon have a new homeless shelter build by your tax dollars and inviting more homeless sketchy drug addicts to pillage your home.
What’s even scarier is that supposedly 47% (basically half) of residents who voted were stupid enough to invite more crime by voting for the dipshit. Or were they? I have a hard time believing the majority of votes went to someone as corrupt and asinine as Tony. Either I’m overly optimistic about the average residents intelligence and principles, or there was some major fraud that went down with the ballot counting.
Look dummy, you can’t just send the homeless somewhere else.
First of all, that’s been ruled unconstitutional. Second of all, there’s nowhere else that wants them. So every town ends up trying to move the homeless “somewhere else” with a net impact of zero.
It’s a waste of resources with no result.
Did I mention it’s unconstitutional?
Best if every town spends the resources that would have gone to ineffectively moving the homeless around into some basic shelter and services.
In summary, stop being a moron and an asshole to your fellow man.
10:48- there’s no hope for you. Your brain is too far gone. You are part of the group that is building the problem and creating an entire homeless industry.
Don’t focus on building, inhumane, homeless shelters in having people sleep in the car. It is completely evil.
Have churches and nonprofits and state organizations run psychological programs to help the homeless get off of their drug addictions, and put them in programs to help them develop skill.
A workingman is a happy Man. Or at least they stay out of trouble, and they’re happier than drug addict dead people. So pull your head out of your ass and starts supporting government programs that address the drug addiction issue and quit building, homeless shelters, and parking lots for people to waste their lives.
The more you encourage people to give up all of their freedom and live on the street, the more you are encouraging that type of bad behavior. You’re probably in the ass wipe that gives the bomb on the corner a dollar and promotes his alcohol problem. You are a part of his problem..
You’re a loser and I bet you voted for Tony Kranz. There’s no hope for you. I hope you have a short stay in Encinitas.
Have government, churches and non-profits study what works, and implement programs and services that address mental health and substance abuse while keeping them safe?
2:14- hardly. Cities are building shelters in staffing up in spending millions and millions of dollars administering homeless. It’ should be a county health department, state and federal issue not a city issue.
Legally allowing anyone to sleep in their cars or in the bushes without doing a thing to help them find housing that most of them would reject for freedumbs sake has proven to be disastrous. We are the center of north county's negligence and are bearing the weight of all the unfunded proclamations of those few managing the profiting from the 'business' of the homeless, while a fraction of the collected funds make it to the homeless.
I'd rather give my money to animal rescues. And I do. People don't deserve my coin. And by the way, bums come to mi casa...we don't call 911. We call the morgue. Or, like an old rusty car..."part em' out"
7:09 Agree that growing in a Del Mar direction rather than a P.B. Direction. But even more ideal than that, would’ve been to keep our Artsy funky eclectic vibe that we’ve been steadily losing. We could’ve grown in a positive direction like Laguna Beach. Instead we’re becoming a combo of Pacific Beach(bars w/a drunken party vibe and vomit laden sidewalks), and a Ocean Beach(transients and crime vibe).
7:09 Yep! It’s weird that noone has been able to figure out Garvins motives. He hasn’t been transparent in showing his deck of cards. Who is the real Garvin? And what is his agenda?
SANDAG's failed rail plan that BIA supports along with our town dunce has flown off the rails. Its a train wreck and here is why:
Most urban mass transit wet dreams are centered on "light rail." Building and running choo-choo's (damn the cost, or the usage) sends a tingle up the legs of central planners.
But in America, passenger rail seldom makes sense (if EVER). Most U.S. cities were built around the CAR. The resulting low DENSITY of people makes shoe-horning fixed rail, hugely expensive, seldom-used trains into such cities a horrible waste of money when gauged by the cost per passenger mile.
Arguably it works in NYC. Arguably not. But the density issue makes passenger rail an idiotic choice for 98+% of America's cities.
Again, the key is population DENSITY per square mile: NYC -- 27,013 Manhattan -- 69,468 Los Angeles -- 8,749 City of San Diego -- 4,020
Buses are also inefficient, but the total cost per passenger mile using trains is 15-30 times more than cost per passenger mile using buses.
And BTW, remember that just about ALL big cities are losing population to the suburbs -- if not to more distant, smaller, livable cities and towns. The big city traffic load will stagnate or reduce over time -- not blossom like the bureaucrats love to claim with their bogus population projections.
Hassan Ikhrata is a train wreck and on the rails. He's weak in the knees and going down just like the Coaster at $140 tax payer subsidy per rider. Some people should be going to jail.
Stop the Coaster waste and stop the Coaster pollution. Our beaches and taxpayers deserve a much more sustainable solution.
Hey warmers, in Texas they need to boil water as the electric grid has gone done. Guess what, the pumps run on electricity generated by power plants....NOT WINDMILLS YOU MORONS
It's time to educate yourself. If you think a solar plant can power water pumps that provide water pressure, you need to wake up. Ain't "no way". You warmers have ZERO concept of what a power grid requires. Keep living in your bubble of buffoonery
Solar net zero homes are possible, and will be mandatory in a few decades.
First it will be required for new construction. Then retrofits will be required. First in California, and then spreading to the intelligent and educated states, and finally the shithole states will be brought into compliance.
Make peace with it. It’s coming, and there’s not a damned thing you can do about it.
Quick, why do we have water pressure and natural gas pressure. It isn't because windmills and solar panels. Educate yourself, you'll be astounded at what you can learn.
Today is the last day under law that AZ counties can certify election results.
A few deep red counties have failed to do so, because of bullshit conspiracy theories.
If they fail to certify by close of business, vote tallies from those counties will be excluded from the certification at the state level. This will cause several more races, including at least one House seat to flip to the Democrats.
Personally, I’m rooting for the self-inflicted stupidity.
Out of curiosity, what would you do if a bum comes on your property, looking in your windows, eyeing your kids, screaming/yelling. What ya' gonna do? I know, call 911 and wait, and wait. Meantime the whacko is lose. Let me give you a tip, protect your family by all means possible. Then make darn sure to plant a knife in the deceased hand after wiping off your prints.
More on the great SANDAG boondoggle that of course our town dunce supports.
All this "planning" is based on a fundamentally false assumption -- that the population of California and San Diego will keep growing as in the past.
The CA population started shrinking BEFORE the pandemic. Since then, our CA population has been dropping even faster, with NO sign that this trend will reverse.
Moreover, the CA age 0-17 state population peaked in 2004! Since then that population number has dropped -- EVERY SINGLE YEAR.
San Diego's population (city and county) has all but stopped growing, and the trend indicates that both will start slowing shrinking in coming year or two.
Check out the comments below the article. They are spot on.
A Sheriffs helicopter flies in circles 15 times on Sunday evening over El Camino Real and Encinitas Blvd and no writes anything? Probably the same people that think homeless bums are your friends. Wake the efff up.
WOrd on the street that the Sheriff is doing a test run for welding all democrats into their homes until the spring. You may think this is crazy or weird or mean but they ASKED to have this done.
agreed. and then you have the safe train stations. No wonder no one choses to ride the sketchy slow traps.
Crime & public safety Man, 30, stabbed twice in fight near trolley station SAN DIEGO
A 30-year-old man who got into a fight near the Old Town transit center early Monday was stabbed twice in his chest and rushed to a hospital, San Diego police said.
The victim left the Old Town trolley station shortly before 7:30 a.m., and was near the intersection of Taylor Street and Pacific Highway when he was approached by an unknown man and the two began to fight, police said. The victim was stabbed twice in his upper right chest by the assailant, who took off and was not immediately located.
Police responded, and the victim was taken to a hospital, where he underwent surgery. He is expected to survive, police said. A detailed description of the suspect was not released. No other details were immediately available.
3:14 It’s not surprising at all that “Conkey the Sign Stealing Queen was welcomed w/open arms by Encinitas Votes.” The only difference between EV and Conkey, is that Conkey got caught, and they didn’t, not for sign theft and vandalism anyway (that we know of). But there were criminal charges against Lorri Greene for shoplifting. And of course there’s the inappropriate patient client relationship/s that resulted in getting her license to practice counseling taken away. It’s no wonder Lorri Greene was encouraging the EV community to rally behind Cremona. Unethical people typically surround themselves w/other unethical people. Maybe Conkey can take over the page if Lorri steps down like she keeps threatening to do, now that Conkey’s legal problems are done. Or are they? Anyone know what Tracey Conkey’s punishment was/is? This is important as it sets an example of what is tolerated.
It just seems weird that Conkey showed up and started commenting again with no one calling her out. She should be ashamed to show her face, even if it is only digitally.
So call her out 3:49. Surely not everyone is blocked from EV who has 1800 members. Who welcomed her back? And would you please let it go with Green. OK you hate her. We get it. However, the only person who spends this much time picking on a a 75 years old woman with health problems is either Jeff or Kim. The rest of us don't care. What exactly did she do to hurt you to make you such aa spiteful person?
5:24- I can tell you what she did. She didn't kiss Kim and Jeff's butt and blocked both of them from EV. They said it was unfair and they would get her. I guess the only place they can get her is under an anon. post. My concern is over Kranz giving Mali a seat at the table. That is a real concern, not some bullshit nonsense K and J keep spinning.
5:36 K & J haven’t spun anything. Believe it or not, the rest of us in the community have eyes and ears. Awareness is not exclusive to J & K. We’ve all noticed how Lorri kicked anyone off EV who didn’t bow down to her and agree w/her(not just J & K). Lorri built EV by falsely claiming she was neutral. Yet she made it known she was gunning for another unethical person like herself with Cremona. Lorri’s “Safe Space” psychobabble claimed to provide people a place to express their views, but it was a farce. Instead she was axing people right and left. Bullies like her on a power trip shouldn’t be Therapists. So thank God she lost her license. People who are feeling down and out, don’t need a bad Therapist who kicks people to the curb for simply expressing a different view. And btw, most of us aren’t falling for the “poor me, I’m a 75 yr old lady act.” If she can’t take the fire, stop dishing it out, and get out of the way! But she won’t. She LOVES the power trip!
OK 6:48- Put your fucking name on all of these accusations. I'll take them to Lorri herself and I am sure she will answer. If not, shut the fuck up, as you have no idea what' you're talking about. Ask the City why she had to leave the Senior Commission. Was she screwing someone up there as well? Did she steal something from one of the, Funny, her email to the City said she was too ill to participate, but hey, that's probably bulshit too. God, of all the things in this town, you are concerned about a woman that has no power, is not liked by the Council so she is not looking for the D1 position, and oh yes, she is a racist. That one I put in for Mali. Did I miss anything. Now, go suck on your drink and let the rest of us have a conversation about things that really matter in Encinitas. By now I am sure she has heard about your bullshit and is setting you up well. But you're too stupid to get it.
I'm still on EV and I have ethics. You guys are a bunch of children. The election is over, in predictable fashion. If your only campaign platform is attacking women and anyone else who dissagrees with you, you're probably going to fail....
6:54 Bullies come in all shapes, sizes, ages, etc. She doesn’t get a pass just because she’s older. In fact, if anything she should know better for the mere fact that she is older. Many in our Community are older, and don’t behave that way. So most of us don’t look favorably upon anyone that has non-stop excuses, and continually whines.
Lorri G lost all credibility with me when she posted a sexual harassment or assault claim against a member of council and then immediately deleted it.
If the claim is true, then make it and stand by it. Making the claim and immediately deleting it certainly seems like she knew it was BS and she was going to get her ass sued off. Putting that kind of cloud over someone in a way that doesn’t allow them any avenue to challenge it and clear their name is a very shitty and chickenshit thing to do.
9:21 You mean like Jeff or Kim? Insulting, blaming, lying about former friends as well as candidates and deleting them off their website then stalking them just for disagreeing? Now that’s shitty and chickenshit.
I hear the third place loser is blaming everyone for his loss and harassing journalists and female residents. This is the behavior of someone who desperately needs attention.
Jeff, try and get a job and actually contribute something to society as well as your household. Otherwise, move to Maui. Loser.
Lorri doesn’t have “power” as you call it. She acts like she does though by recklessly deleting ‘ethical’ people. That is her big “power” trip. But she embraces and keeps ‘unethical’ people like Tracey Conkey. But you know…birds of a feather. Sadly, Tracey and Lorri both have a thing for stealing.
12:04- So that's her crime? Deleting people from Encinitas Votes? So does Encinitas Now who we don't even know who is in charge there. Or Encinitas Progressive Unity, which you have to be screened to post something. Good grief. You really should get a life, or move to Hawaii like you said you would.
10:46 Every single comment that doesn’t fit your narrative, you blame on Jeff & Kim. You seem to forget that 25% of our residents voted for Jeff. And lots of residents have seen the horrible way Lorri treats people, so they like to comment on it. But make no mistake, Lorri has followers on EV that are way worse than Tracey Conkey. But Lorri won’t delete any of them. She likes to keep dysfunctional people like Tracey. But Lorri eliminates anyone who is ethical who has a brain. It makes her feel superior to everyone. It also gave her the false illusion that she was the smartest most powerful person on her Facebook page when she continually deleted nice folks.
Jeff was third place with less than 7000 votes, so let's not exaggerate that 1/4 of the residents voted for him. Sadly, those voters had no idea what a sociopathic stalker Morris is, because he put up the sane face (as does Kim) when in front of an audience. In a real one on one race where Morris would be exposed, he wouldn't' have a chance. He had ZERO issue solutions, just vitriol and rhetoric.
Jeff comes across like untreated bi polar I with delusions of grandeur. Learn to act like an adult, and you'll be treated as one. Attacking every woman in sight will not qualify you for office or respect. How far has Encinitas and society in general gone downhill when someone who's only talent is stalking homeless people can gain any followers at all. Look at yourselves in the mirror, is his the kind of behavior you want to teach your kids? It's not that hard...
9:21 Sexual assault? Wow, I can see where Lorri lost all credibility when she falsely accused a CIty Counsel member of that. As much as many of us don’t like the current CC members, claiming sexual assault when there was none, is what people here are talking about when they describe Lorri as unethical. And this is only one of many incidents that have earned her the reputation she has. Her reputation is no-ones fault but her own. And anyone that defends or condones her behavior, I’d have to question their morals and ethics as well.
Any ‘Good Therapist’ would tell Lorri to ‘own it.’ Which CC member did Lorri falsely accuse of assault, then retract?
Adding to that Marco let it slip that she once actually killed someone. I guess he was her attorney and managed to get her out of it. You would think she would be grateful, but instead she and Marco are not friendly at all. And his partner, Dave Peck, also confirmed it. They were both drunk and will probably deny it, but it's true.
I wouldn't be surprised 1:21. One time at pannikin her gun that she carries with her fell out of her backpack. It was so funny when she tried to explain why she had it in the first place. Nothing would surprise me with that woman. And no way is she 75, I don't care what she says. Go to her FB page and you can see she doesn't look anywhere close to that age. Anything to get attention is here motto. I still would love to know how she got off a murder charge. I hadn't heard that one.
9:21- Shut up or tell us who this person that supposedly sexually assaulted her. Getting rather sick of these accusations to a person that has done more good than harm to our community. And since I do know Marco and Dave, I'll ask them to comment. No lawyer just blurts out something like what you are saying.
All of your points you made about unethical behavior, and the reason for reputation or exactly why 53% of the voters voted against our town dunce for mayor.
But asswipes, like Stan, John Gjata, Kathy leaves, and look at all the others listed on her is donation list contributed to the Dalakranz being elected as our mayor.
major bad to years ahead for Encinitas and all of you. 47% that voted for this fool or to blame and you are not forgotten or forgiven.
And you newbies like Mali, and Garvin shut the fuck up.
Learn some respect and overtime if your points are valid, you will earn respect. If not, you’ll just be a fly boy like Mosca and wither away to nothing.
Lorri killed someone? Of the various gripes I might have about her, that's a new one to me. But I agree, under her watch EV has become (for some time) an echo chamber of anti-incumbency where commenters stupidly believe they reflect the majority of voters' sentiments. It was almost comical, and certainly cringey, the number of times the regular idiots on that page claimed there was no way Blakespear and Lyndes could win this cycle. Do they even remember their hubris? And now, it's all "blame the PACs," "voters are dumb," and "Tony didn't even get 50%." It's just a big old Dunning Kruger circle jerk at this point...
The poster at 1:21 a.m. who claims that I once said Lorri Greene killed someone faces liability for defamation. I have never said anything remotely close to that and have zero reason to believe Lorri has done such a thing. Is this blog truly a say anything, no matter how false or libelous, free-for-all?
DAVE PECK - Please find out the legalities behind posting anonymously on this site. I would pay to have some of these disgusting posters exposed, and to be held liable.
Hey your home values are tanking! Thanks Tony your plan to lower the quality of life in Encinitas is helping lower home prices and as a result lower rents Yay!
This coupled with the sky rocketing inflation will make you folks who think you are rich struggle like us union folks and racists screamers like my friend Mali.
Keep pumping out the boxes and do nothing for the people getting smeared and run down on the roads..... I also love how you decided to quit caring for the pavement around town. The potholes all over really help slow people down and it cracks me up when I see an old geezer trip or a kid on a bike fly over the handle bars into traffic when they hit the potholes.
Keep it up Dalakranz. The majority of 53% of the voters must not understand that your plan to up up the volume in Encinitas is really working to lower home values and as a result rent in Encinitas. I can not wait to see all the long faces when you announce the opening of the regional homeless center in Encinitas.
Read the article. Are you saying tribune reporters are liars?
Come on get behind Tony. Tanking home prices is what we want. We want low home prices and low rent. And the way we get there at the lower the quality of life and open Everything up to the homeless.
Tony lowered real estate values across all of SD county, and nationally?
Wow.
And here I thought rising interest rates as a response to inflation were making mortgage loans more expensive, creating conditions where buyers could not sustain further increases.
But I’m open to hearing about how Tony has a button under his desk marked “higher national home prices.”
8:11- no. You’re so silly. That’s all mumbo-jumbo free enterprise is not real.
It all has to do with Tonys great affordable, housing plan and section 8 housing to provide free, housing for everyone in the world. Encinitas is welcome in community and all of our homeless neighbors are super welcome to camp out in front of your house or we should build them all housing
Nope,Tony had nothing to do with national home price deflation, but his brand spanking new homeless shelter most certainly will. That's especially true for whoever's neighborhood it's going to land in!
Who are the 47% who voted for the nightmare we are about to embark on with Crayons? I only ran into one person that admitted to voting for him. And I know ALOT of people!
The more frightening question is, who are the 24% who voted for Moron 4 Mayor? That along with Tony's 47% makes me lose all hope for Encinitas going forward.
And that’s why EV is going private beginning of the year. The site has been up 8 years and most of the time Lorri has run it until she got sick. She has no back up since Glen doesn’t help. It started out with 50 people and if it takes it going back to 40 people that’s fine by me. I think the ones of you who are so quick to criticize, lie, etc a good person are a piece of shit. Yea Marco did say that. I was there. I don’t care what that clown says. Ask his partner Dave Peck. What an awful lot you are.
Let me add to Marco’s bulshit Lorri kicked him off EV with his contentious comments. He says it’s gone down for 8 years? Hard to believe all this time it was up it’s always been that way. Want to take on Marco who really knows how to give loves and kisses to the right people. He doesn’t run a FB page because he’s a coward and couldn’t take the heat. Ask him how he knows so much about what’s going on at City Hall when no one else can find out. He outed himself several times on this group. I honestly can’t believe anyone but Jeff and Kim would stoop so low.
Someone sure has their head up their ass. Come out from behind the anonymous post and let's have a real discussion about this assertion that Lorri killed someone. If I were representing Lorri, I'd sue for defamation and get the IP address of whomever posted that. And if I was running this blog, I'd sure as hell take it down before such a suit happens.
Marco, so there is a way to have the IP addresses traced to hold someone accountable for defamation? Please do it, just so we can all see who these sick F's are!
Lorri has been making the same claims about changes coming to EV for years. It hasn't changed and it won't change. She's a complete attention whore and needs the validation and approval that comes from her blog. Though she fancies herself a player in local politics, in reality she's just another bitter social media whiner that provides a place for other geriatric whiners to wallow in their own filth.
If you haven't figured out the connection between Lorri, EV and this alleged blog you really haven't been paying attention.
12:27- Not sure this time. I would have said that in the past, but she doesn't, doesn't want Mali on the Council-nor do I. The smaller group will give them a chance to plot and I know her best friend is a tech wizard who will probably put up firewalls. I have no idea who runs this blog, but I am pretty sure it's not Lorri. Personally I think it's Susan Turney but can't prove it.
If you want to know, it takes some homework. I did it years ago.
1) Go back to the earliest days of the blog. Ask yourself what was the subject that this person was so passionate about that triggered them to start the blog in the first place. You’ll find one wonky topic that shows up out of proportion to what the average person would care about.
2.) If the moderator of the blog was so passionate about that subject, it’s likely they were also writing op-eds and speaking at council meetings on the same subject during that same timeframe. Go do some research on who was publicly speaking out on that topic under their own name.
3.) If you come up with a name or two, compare your possibilities to what is known about the person behind this blog. For instance, they moderate another blog on wonky finance topics that only people in the finance industry would care about. Also, the early videos on the WC Varones YouTube channel are all from San Francisco. Look up your names on LinkedIn etc, and see if they were in SF during the same period.
You get the idea.
There’s a bunch more clues, but I won’t divulge them here, lest WC starts deleting the bread crumbs.
It’s not that hard. Probably took me an hour to figure out and confirm.
When Lorri Greene removed and blocked Mali from EV, she later claimed that she never did it.
A while back, on Encinitas Politics, EV member Jim O'Hara kept arguing and arguing with people because he believed what Lorri said when she claimed she never blocked Mali...despite the fact that there where MULTIPLE threads elsewhere where Lorri talked ad nauseum about how she removed Mali and blocked her from EV. Why Jim O'Hara couldn't let it go or listen to anyone else's point of view is beyond me. It's like he had this strict narrative (Mali=bad, Lorri=good) that he can not let go of.
Lorri blocked Mali from EV and after the 2020 election, she removed a lot of people for no reason. There was no rule breaking and she even commented in Progressive Unity that she removed those people because "EV will be changing direction and they won't like the changes"
Um, did she ASK them if they would like the changes? No, she just assumed. And the changes never happened anyway.
Lorri is a well meaning person, but she is troubled (as witnessed by her suicidal facebook post several years ago that resulted in the police going to check on her and the 51 50 she had not too long ago)
Lorri has created an echo chamber where people like Bob Nichols and Steve Golden think that posting negative comments is actually a productive use of their time. Keep it up, fellas, because the way Nichols, Golden, Graves, and Flores constantly trolled Blakespear's page only demeans your own points and your trolling helps get Catherine elected. It hasn't worked for you yet!!!!!
Ruben F. just HAD to post on every single post from CB's page, and every single post on Joy Lyndes' page. It came across as so frickin smug and condescending. Superior Ruben, how did that work out for you?
That whole group of haters still has not learned to channel their energy in a positive direction for their own community. They'd much rather post silly gifs and use the facebook laughing face emoji to taunt people they disagree with. What a privileged group of sad sacks.
They think they were just attacking Catherine, that it would be annoying to her to comment on all her posts. What they did was bully their own neighbors. They were so relentless that when people want to post a positive comment, they are hesitant to because any minute now, oh look, there's bob or steve or ruben attacking...in several conversations, Ruben "protects" his free speech by stifling the free speech of others. Lisa Shaffer voiced a different opinion and RuBEN claimed she was trying to censor him. No, dummy, she has the same first amendment right that you do and she should be able to express that without you going all snowflake
The issue with social media is, the rules of decorum that would apply if you were in person, don't apply, especially during a pandemic when a lot of people aren't meeting in person. Civility is the real loser, and everything becomes way to personal. You want to make a resolution for the new year? Quit attacking people online, especially women if you're a man. Have a sense of self worth that gives you some shame when you act in a way your parents would not approve of. It's pretty simple....
LOL takes a while for some people to catch on. In 2020, Bob Nichols posted over and over again, daily, the same looooong comments on Nextdoor and facebook and Catherine won. Then he did it AGAIN in this election with the same result, Nichols isn't smart enough to figure out he's the best volunteer Catherine has.
(I'll throw you a bone, Bob, and let you in on the secret, only because I know you are too narcissistic to actually set your ego aside and contemplate the truth of this: if you post your truth once, it carries weight. But to post it on EVERY post of Catherines, to post it mulitple times in the same thread, to post it in response to supporters as a way to argue, to respond to people one, two, three, six times arguing with them? It makes you look crazy. It turns off undecided voters. You may have legitimate points to make, but the way you do it is like the boy crying wolf. You aren't changing any minds with those tactics. It comes across as childish and mean spirited and it draws the focus to YOUR behavior, not Catherines. Hell, even suing her didn't help take her down...and she was in the wrong in blocking you! Think about that...
How did all that work for you? What wasted effort.
Old Bobby Nickels is probably high tailing it off to Oregon as we speak, tail between the legs, and a chest of ducats from the SMOP tucked away for the future. I wonder if he got his Oregon voter registration cleared up before the election, or was that just his wife?
2:18 Right, but you're assuming Social media has a ton of power, and that people are reading everything he posts and then making that judgement. It's a reach. Agree that it makes someone look a bit questionable mentally, but whether that influences voting, that's up in the air.
6:00 agreed. People like Nichols don't sway any voters one way or the other, they only undermine their own credibility in the process.
My respect for Ruben has taken quite a hit after seeing how he conducted himself. I want to be fair and assume that he was well intentioned, but we see this played out all over society: people get so worked up that in their tunnel vision, they don't realize how their posts may be coming across to others. And when we point it out the them kindly, they lash out and explain why they're right, or why they do this, or what's wrong with the person they just have to attack. But, dude, you lost the forest for the trees...
Ruben used to talk about servant leadership, which certainly can't be seen in how he conducts himself on social media.
Social media needs to go away. It's caused so much division, but that genie can't be put back in the bottle.
It's hilarious watching Lorri try to wrangle who wants to stay in the group.
Steve Golden has gone back to blaming the Verdus for backing things they don't even back.
Noel Breen calls people names, besmirches character, and converses only in ad hominem attack mode. Then he criticizes other people who, wait for it, call names, besmirch character, and use ad hominem. Noel, take a gander at that big ole plank in your eye.
I honestly don't think Noel realizes his own hypocrisy. In his Carlsbad group, and elsewhere, he makes up names for the people he disagrees with (Seldom Wright, for example). It's a pretty Trump thing to do. He photoshops pics of them as well (A Jeff Morris thing to do).
He rightly calls out Austin Hansch (who is a disturbing individual) but how can he not notice the similarity between Hansch's rants and Jeff Morris's rants?
Just the way Noel and Morris both attack, but conduct themselves as if they are ENTITLED to attack is annoying.
Noel, I have seen you call people worse names than Mali ever has, yet you are extremely judgmental toward Mali.
I don't agree with Mali's approach either, but I have to call out a double standard when I see it. All the name callers need to understand how to craft an argument without insults.
I think he moved out to bum-f—k Desertville after his wife lost an election in Carlsbad. Both he and his wife threw public tantrums because the Dem party endorsed someone else, and THEY WERE OWED that nomination.
That entitled baby tantrum BS explains everything you need to know about him.
Meanwhile, back at the EV Ranch, Lorri Greene is still chummy with the likes of sign stealer Tracey Conkey. Yet countless other upstanding law abiding citizens, got ‘Cancelled’ by Lorri for merely breathing. Lorri seems to be a strong advocate of the ‘Cancel Culture.’ She may have more in common with ‘Woke’ Mali, than even she realizes. Even X Therapists like Lorri can use a lesson in self-awareness now and then. Especially after having been disbarred.
Oh give it up already. Lorri is an old woman, of ill health and questionable memory. She may not be perfect, but those of us who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
Compared to a tyrant like Morris, an emotional mess like Mali or a bully like Marco, she's a saint.
Bully? Because I don't put up with the bullshit that gets slung at me? Because I call out when people don't follow the law or defame someone? That's not bullying.
6:54 So true. I’ve never seen anyone ‘dismember’ people w/such glee as Lorri Greene does. She rarely ever gave an explanation. She just axed people right and left, unceremoniously (not too much different than Blakespear). People were left trying to figure out why they couldn’t log in to EV, thinking there was a glitch. It didn’t occur to most at first, that she is mentally unstable. She no doubt has a ‘Safe Space’ where she “dismembers” Mr. and Mrs. Potato Heads body parts, before she “Cancels” them to the garbage dump in her role to help promote ‘Cancel Culture.’
7:`19- Then it shouldn't bother you that EV will shrink to a smaller size and be a private group with a firewall for extra. protection from some of the assholes in this group. As Lori as stated many times, EV started out with 50 people in an attempt to have some civil conversations about the politics in Encinitas and things we can do as citizens. I haven't goner over there in the last hour, but when I did there sure were a lot of folks that want to stay on the site. If anything more people will be blocked if they are already members. When the group can get to a reasonable size, her idea is to do what she attempted 8 years ago.
Interesting that Lorri mentioned tonight this blog, and made a joke about ‘oh, apparently I’m a murderer, ha ha.’
Note that she chose to address only something that was obviously unserious.
At the same time, she chose not to address the more serious issues, like her losing her license to practice for ethical violations, a shoplifting allegation, and her nutter posting and immediate deletion of a sex crime allegation against a council member years ago.
She chose to make a dumb joke about the easy thing, and not to address the hard things.
8:07 & 9:07 Yep! Lorri is slurping up every drop of attention she can here on UC. She’s so starved for validation that she broadcasts this on EV, even though it’s negative. Very telling that she only addresses the one thing someone said as a joke, and not her actual real crimes. Next she’ll start seeking sympathy by threatening to shut down EV again.🙄 Then she’ll seek even more attention by bragging about her measles list of accomplishments. Her lame claim to fame redundant mantra is quite pathetic:
1) “I walked with Martin Luther King.” (In the dark ages). 2) “I marched with feminists in the 60’s and burned my bra, b/c I hate men... 3) ...except my husband, b/c he was a ‘Rocket Scientist.’ I don’t really like him. But marrying him is on my brag list of accomplishments, b/c I’ve been able to live vicariously through him. (that was in the dark ages too). 4) “I built EV by lying and telling people it was a safe space to express their views, b/c I’m a poser. I did a bait and switch lopping off numerous members for no apparent reason other than I’m on a huge power trip. Well b/c, you know, I’m the only person to have ever had a FB page. I tell everyone it’s stressful and ruining my health, b/c whining garnishes sympathy I crave.” (It’s the only thing I’ve done in “ages.”)
10:10 Yep! As you say, it’s not an age thing. As we’ve repeatedly seen, Lorri’s been burning her bridges for years now, and it’s biting her in the ass. She’s done this to herself. So enough w/her “poor me” act. I think people were actually overly kind sugar coating things and saying she looks good for for her age. Because in all honesty, she looks like a POS. But we digress, b/c no one cares that she’s let herself go. The real problem is how she treats others and who she is on the inside. And it’s not pretty. She’s repeatedly shown what a POS she is on the inside, so no one is buying her “poor me,” victim act. Lorri’s the one that’s been perpetrating evil deeds on everyone right and left. Didn’t she learn anything about this before her license was yanked for her illicit behaviors? If a 75 yr old woman still hasn’t learned to take responsibility for her actions, at her age, she’ll never learn how to “own it!” The first step for her, is recognizing she has a problem, which we know will never happen. So sadly, we’re stuck w/the cranky old bat!
She should have sued $tocks to high heaven years ago for his unbecoming atrocious behavior at a party with his wife there, no less. You trolls are despicable. What goes around, comes around, and you trolls are overdue for some instant karma. If this is not moronic behavior..... it is. Lorrie has always warned people before deleting them from her site when they ignore her requests to keep it clean and on topic. She is worthy of our respect for those that can grasp the meaning of respect. You trolls show your lack of an awareness of respecting others, whether you agree with the topic at hand or not.
There is an easy fix. Don't go there. Create your own blog where you can spew all the vitriol you care to.
Trolls be Moron and Watchdog sycophants. Bhavani is now pimping for the moron who’s pissed he finished behind Cremona and fears his loyal blind followers are seeping away.
Lorri is on the hit list because she didn’t and wouldn’t let the Morons and his right wing crazies destroy her page.
Thus his call for his own "social media outlet." After vowing to stay off social media. Can't you just see Stocks, Walsh, the morons plotting an overthrow?
If you're going to post about someone, you could do the courtesy of spelling the name right. Plus, it would lend some credibility to what you post. Do you live in Insinitus?
4:42 Love the auto correct typo/Freudian slip of “hugeness” rather than your “highness.” Thx for the chuckle! On a serious note, I’ve seen Lorri in person many times over the years, and she is in fact “huge.” So I’m having a hard time picturing any men making a pass at her. To be fair, I’ve also seen Stocks around over the years. And although he’s no looker himself, I never got the feeling he was someone that strayed, or is a player. I’m not sticking up for him if he did something inappropriate, but he doesn’t have a reputation for being inappropriate. Maybe he just complimented her, and she blew it out of proportion like she does almost everything. After all, in addition to her other flaws, Lorri has gained a reputation of being a drama Queen who fabricates almost everything.
Wow is your picker ever off. You can keep trying to drum up fake news but it escapes no one’s attention that you are talking to yourself on most of this page.
Starvin’ Garvin no longer in the spotlight? Off the newspaper’s “call for an opinion” list? Off EV? Basically no longer relevant if he ever was.
The pompous one has me wondering who brought him here to muck things up. He is a good mucker fracker. I have to hand it to him for mucking this recent election up. That is being more polite than he deserves. That a candidate sold out and bought into his crap, is worthy of a wtf?
3:00 Wow is your guesser ever off. Just b/c you talk to yourself doesn’t mean others do. I just got home from a business trip and was surprised to see the slug of comments about Lorri. But then not really. She’s been burning her bridges for a long time. So I added my own personal comment and observation. And we DO still have this thing in America called Free Speech. So sorry to disappoint you, but you can’t delete me like Lorri does to people.
The first amendment right to free speech does not apply to privately held social media. Whoever owns the site can include or delete whatever he/she wants.
It applied to Bleakspear's Facebook page because she's a public figure using the page for campaign, self-promotion and other public purposes.
What is the big deal about Lirti deleting people in her FB page? It is no different than Jeff and Kim deleting all the people that didn’t agree with their rhetoric. Geez it is just social media people.
The difference between the morons and Dr. Lorrie? Where have you been? Hiding your head in the ground? What is wrong with you people. Attention deficient disorder? Too much time on your dumb smart phone?
No one is hiding their head, the point is why are you all making such a big deal about to FB pages that have less than 4% of the population as members. No one cares.
2.43. I care. Those 4 percent on EV vote. And since I can’t stand Kranz and cronies I want to be a part of taking them down. The only FB group that tries to do this waa EV. So no one complain when you’re blocked come mid January.
Sorry who has their head in the sand this time. WD routinely blocks people if they don’t like what they. As well as Encinitas Now and Encinitas Progressve Unity.
Lorri Greene is the only site that has consistently deleted people the vast majority of the time for no other reason than, she has a bug up her butt. And she’s also on a power trip and loves to whine and get sympathy over nothing. She really needs to get a real problem. “No one cares” about her hang nails, metaphorically speaking.
Tony's plan to build the homeless industry is working. Lets open the homeless shelter next your your house and lets look just like Oside Blvd with all the sketchy drug addicts chasing your teenagers pushing drugs and boners. This is great news Tony. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe latest report from the San Diego Regional Task Force on Homeless found the number of people who fall into homelessness continues to outpace the number of people who are housed.
Data compiled from October show 1,343 people became homeless for the first time that month, while 647 homeless people found housing.
Those that voted for our town dunce are responsible for this failure.
Tony saids let open the homeless shelter and get this party started.
https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/homelessness/story/2022-11-26/report-2x-as-many-people-became-homeless-as-housed
Same shit....different day.
DeleteAll that before 7 am…. Did you stay up ALL night peeping thru your blinds looking out for “boners” mr. Or ms. 6:46 AM
DeleteAnd I thought Jeff had the title town dunce….
not our fault you slow and getting old.
DeleteI do not like Tony and ill selling out Encinitas to the homeless industry.
The parking lot and prospective shelter get homeless off the streets, out of parks, offer them safety and services to help them get back into their feet.
ReplyDeleteSounds good to me.
But for some reason, the less intelligent amongst us prefer them to remain on our streets and in our parks.
No they do not…. They just enabled people to continue being drug addicts.
DeleteMakes people accountable.
DeleteMuch less homeless before SF and the Newsomites made an industry from it.
DeleteOh. So you’re happy with the homeless situation as it is right now, without a shelter?
DeleteThe small number of homeless living in their cars that make use of the homeless parking lot does not equate to the vast number of homeless sleeping by councils permission in their vehicles all over our city along with the even more vast number of homeless without vehicles that have found our city to be so welcoming because of our current council majority's decision to invite the homeless here without our having a say is frustrating, to say the least. Now we will have our own homeless shelter which will attract even more to our town.
ReplyDeleteWhy? Who is pushing this on us? What are we supposed to be gaining from becoming so welcoming to every homeless person from all over who hear how 'nice' we are by allowing anyone to sleep in their vehicles all over town besides in the approved homeless parking lot?
How did they "invite the homeless" specifically? I mean actions by the city council or it's members?
DeleteThank Tony and people like John Gjata for the proposed homeless shelter next to your home.
ReplyDeleteEncinitas is too small a town to act like the savior of societies ills. We were a gift as a surf town with a rich spiritual heritage and that was enough of a gift to share without soliciting a dark underbelly that started with the bar scene. Who’s running the show?
ReplyDeleteThe city needs the revenue the alcohol generates. It's the city's life blood.
Delete
DeleteProperty taxes are 65% of the cities revenue. Hotel and large retail are another 25%. Alcohol sales at restaurants is a blip on the revenue meter.
The City does not “need” the revenue of all the extra alcohol. It got by fine for ages, w/out all the extra bars. Many cities that want to maintain safe, quality neighborhoods set a cap on the number of establishments that can get a liquor license.
ReplyDelete3:47 Do you have any familiarity with the city budget, its sources of revenue and its pension debt? Yes, the city does need the revenue the alcohol sales generate. That's why there are so many places selling alcohol.
DeleteThe City needs the big bucks to pay all the law suit settlements for the hazardous roads, pay for the new Watercoloring with Karen Art Center at Pacific View huge ongoing construction and operational costs, and the pensions.
DeleteI thought the City was talking about improving roads?
They sure need it.
Where does that fit into the budget?
Good Morning!
ReplyDeleteWell I'm happy to report that Tony and John's new welcome homeless sketchy neighbors that they have invited to live in front of your home and will soon have a new homeless shelter build by your tax dollars and inviting more homeless sketchy drug addicts to pillage your home.
Here is my favorite part of this mornings homeless report:
About 45 minutes later, he allegedly carjacked a Ford F-250 at gunpoint at a gas station in the city of Monahans, in Ward County, Texas, but he was shot once in the chest and crashed. He was arrested a short time later.
Found in the stolen pickup was a 9mm handgun, registered to Villegas, according to the warrant.
On Sept. 23, San Diego police served a search warrant at Villegas’ home on Garnet Avenue. Detectives found clothes that matched those worn by Garcia’s suspected killer: two black sweaters, a pair of tan pants and a pair of black Nike shoes with sand on the bottom. They found three 9mm shell casings — similar to the casing found on the beach where Garcia was killed — and an empty gun case.
Texas folks can apparently fend for themselves. Unlike the racist screaming commies around this area. Ha!!
Well enjoy your influx of homeless sketchy people from all of CA and around they world. Think of them as presents from Tony Kranz!

*Well I'm happy to report that Tony and John's new homeless sketchy neighbors are doing great! Tony realized the crowded conditions in PB and felt anger that we could not participate in the deadly debacle. As we know Tony earlier invited them all to live in front of your home and will soon have a new homeless shelter build by your tax dollars and inviting more homeless sketchy drug addicts to pillage your home.

ReplyDeleteWhat’s even scarier is that supposedly 47% (basically half) of residents who voted were stupid enough to invite more crime by voting for the dipshit. Or were they? I have a hard time believing the majority of votes went to someone as corrupt and asinine as Tony. Either I’m overly optimistic about the average residents intelligence and principles, or there was some major fraud that went down with the ballot counting.
ReplyDeleteAnd there it is.
DeleteThe battle cry of the POS domestic terrorist party.
Hey furry,
ReplyDeleteWhat’s this “POS domestic terrorist party“ you are dropping.
Why are you throwing that term around?
Seems to me that Democratic Party trying to strip people from the freedoms is more of the terrorist party.
I think you need to read a few books on liberty and the constitution to understand all of the freedoms you were given .
If you don’t like it, moved to another area that does not have such a liberty base constitution.
Your other comrades in China and Russia may not be as kind to your identified status.
The constitution suggests that we honor election results and support the peaceful transfer of power.
DeleteI didn’t mention a specific party.
It’s interesting that you heard “POS domestic terrorist” and took it personally.
That’s interesting, and says a lot about you if you think about it.
Thought about it for a second and came to logical conclusion that you’re a dumb POS.
DeleteLook dummy, you can’t just send the homeless somewhere else.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, that’s been ruled unconstitutional. Second of all, there’s nowhere else that wants them. So every town ends up trying to move the homeless “somewhere else” with a net impact of zero.
It’s a waste of resources with no result.
Did I mention it’s unconstitutional?
Best if every town spends the resources that would have gone to ineffectively moving the homeless around into some basic shelter and services.
In summary, stop being a moron and an asshole to your fellow man.
We need to try the tough love approach.
Delete10:48- there’s no hope for you. Your brain is too far gone. You are part of the group that is building the problem and creating an entire homeless industry.
ReplyDeleteDon’t focus on building, inhumane, homeless shelters in having people sleep in the car. It is completely evil.
Have churches and nonprofits and state organizations run psychological programs to help the homeless get off of their drug addictions, and put them in programs to help them develop skill.
A workingman is a happy Man. Or at least they stay out of trouble, and they’re happier than drug addict dead people. So pull your head out of your ass and starts supporting government programs that address the drug addiction issue and quit building, homeless shelters, and parking lots for people to waste their lives.
The more you encourage people to give up all of their freedom and live on the street, the more you are encouraging that type of bad behavior. You’re probably in the ass wipe that gives the bomb on the corner a dollar and promotes his alcohol problem. You are a part of his problem..
You’re a loser and I bet you voted for Tony Kranz. There’s no hope for you. I hope you have a short stay in Encinitas.
Have government, churches and non-profits study what works, and implement programs and services that address mental health and substance abuse while keeping them safe?
DeleteUm.
Dipshit.
That’s exactly what’s happening.
Did Tucker teach you the term “homeless industry?” You use it a lot, like a parrot.
DeleteWho’s Tucker?
DeleteOne of your extremist friends?
2:14- hardly. Cities are building shelters in staffing up in spending millions and millions of dollars administering homeless. It’ should be a county health department, state and federal issue not a city issue.
Delete3:38,
DeleteSo your objection boils down to city, vs county, vs state.
And why?
Because anything done at the city level precludes it fro happening. . .
Somewhere else.
4:39 - man you don’t know shit do you.
DeleteIt’s because the county, state, and the feds get all of the taxes to address the homeless issue.
The cities taxes are not supposed to go to social programs. there are to maintain our city infrastructure.
Oh.
DeleteSo if the Feds / State / County decided to put a facility in Encinitas to offer services to the homeless, then you’re cool?
Absolutely, right next to Tony Kranz or BIA Blakespear’s house.
DeleteLegally allowing anyone to sleep in their cars or in the bushes without doing a thing to help them find housing that most of them would reject for freedumbs sake has proven to be disastrous. We are the center of north county's negligence and are bearing the weight of all the unfunded proclamations of those few managing the profiting from the 'business' of the homeless, while a fraction of the collected funds make it to the homeless.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather give my money to animal rescues. And I do.
ReplyDeletePeople don't deserve my coin. And by the way, bums come to mi casa...we don't call 911. We call the morgue.
Or, like an old rusty car..."part em' out"
Lovely.
DeleteA violent asshole who fantasizes about killing a homeless person.
What comes around goes around.
5:57- exactly right. All you fools that voted for Kranz now have karma coming for you.
DeleteI guess voters just need to decide if they are on Tram Kill-A-Homeless-Person or Not.
DeleteI’m proudly on Team Not, with Tony, and I like our chances in the next election.
Team Not A Lick Of Common Sense
Delete"with ill intent"
DeleteCool by me… this town is just beach rentals to me at this point…
ReplyDeleteTony set the stage for it to become PB instead of De Mar.
Too Bad, so sad….. karmas coming for you Karens and Karen wantabes like Kranz and Garvin… 🤮
7:09 Agree that growing in a Del Mar direction rather than a P.B. Direction. But even more ideal than that, would’ve been to keep our Artsy funky eclectic vibe that we’ve been steadily losing. We could’ve grown in a positive direction like Laguna Beach. Instead we’re becoming a combo of Pacific Beach(bars w/a drunken party vibe and vomit laden sidewalks), and a Ocean Beach(transients and crime vibe).
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you. That would’ve been the coolest way to develop in the future. We could’ve been much cooler than Laguna Beach back in the day.
DeleteBut now, Kranz and all the sellouts had to sell out and create a PB North. They suck so bad and I hope they reap the karma they deserve.
7:09 Yep! It’s weird that noone has been able to figure out Garvins motives. He hasn’t been transparent in showing his deck of cards. Who is the real Garvin? And what is his agenda?
ReplyDeleteSo far the facts we know ard he loves to circle jerk with TONY and friends, and he is the mouth receptacle at the end of their game.
ReplyDeleteAnd every time he speaks at City Council meetings, he shows how absolutely boring he really is
SANDAG's failed rail plan that BIA supports along with our town dunce has flown off the rails. Its a train wreck and here is why:
ReplyDeleteMost urban mass transit wet dreams are centered on "light rail." Building and running choo-choo's (damn the cost, or the usage) sends a tingle up the legs of central planners.
But in America, passenger rail seldom makes sense (if EVER). Most U.S. cities were built around the CAR. The resulting low DENSITY of people makes shoe-horning fixed rail, hugely expensive, seldom-used trains into such cities a horrible waste of money when gauged by the cost per passenger mile.
Arguably it works in NYC. Arguably not. But the density issue makes passenger rail an idiotic choice for 98+% of America's cities.
Again, the key is population DENSITY per square mile:
NYC -- 27,013
Manhattan -- 69,468
Los Angeles -- 8,749
City of San Diego -- 4,020
Buses are also inefficient, but the total cost per passenger mile using trains is 15-30 times more than cost per passenger mile using buses.
And BTW, remember that just about ALL big cities are losing population to the suburbs -- if not to more distant, smaller, livable cities and towns. The big city traffic load will stagnate or reduce over time -- not blossom like the bureaucrats love to claim with their bogus population projections.
Richard Rider from Tribunes article here -
https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/transportation/story/2022-11-27/san-diegos-rail-expansion-survive-gop-election-shake-up
Hassan Ikhrata is a train wreck and on the rails. He's weak in the knees and going down just like the Coaster at $140 tax payer subsidy per rider. Some people should be going to jail.
Stop the Coaster waste and stop the Coaster pollution. Our beaches and taxpayers deserve a much more sustainable solution.
-Mother Earth
Rome has a population density of 5790/sq mi.
DeleteBudapest 8,642
Frankfurt 7,855
All have excellent and efficient public transit systems using light rail, tram, and bus.
Now, what was the population density of San Diego a hundred years ago? Extrapolate that change into the future.
1:19- sorry, slow polluting trains have no place in an efficient public transit.
DeleteHey warmers, in Texas they need to boil water as the electric grid has gone done. Guess what, the pumps run on electricity generated by power plants....NOT WINDMILLS
ReplyDeleteYOU MORONS
I hope you mean solar power plants.
DeleteSolar heats the universe and it’s heating my home and powering my cars and bikes for free.
Anyone not using solar is pretty stupid in my opinion. Have you installed solar and if no why not?
It's time to educate yourself. If you think a solar plant can power water pumps that provide water pressure, you need to wake up. Ain't "no way".
DeleteYou warmers have ZERO concept of what a power grid requires. Keep living in your bubble of buffoonery

Anyone not using a vegan diet is pretty stupid in my opinion. Have you been to the gym lately and if no why not?
Good try it sarcasm but your main points are failures just like you.
DeleteI will send one of the many MMA vegan athletes to come and kick your ass up and down.

Solar net zero homes are possible, and will be mandatory in a few decades.
ReplyDeleteFirst it will be required for new construction. Then retrofits will be required. First in California, and then spreading to the intelligent and educated states, and finally the shithole states will be brought into compliance.
Make peace with it. It’s coming, and there’s not a damned thing you can do about it.
I’ve got solar. It totally makes sense and save a ton of money. It pretty much shows who is not intelligent.
ReplyDeleteQuick, why do we have water pressure and natural gas pressure. It isn't because windmills and solar panels.
DeleteEducate yourself, you'll be astounded at what you can learn.
Fun fact:
ReplyDeleteToday is the last day under law that AZ counties can certify election results.
A few deep red counties have failed to do so, because of bullshit conspiracy theories.
If they fail to certify by close of business, vote tallies from those counties will be excluded from the certification at the state level. This will cause several more races, including at least one House seat to flip to the Democrats.
Personally, I’m rooting for the self-inflicted stupidity.

Conkey the sign stealing queen is accepted with open arms by the EV mafia.
ReplyDeleteYou're stirring up a non event, troll. Who are the "mafia," hmmm? Name names and you won't see them in the two measly likes she got.
DeleteWhat ended up happening to Tracey Conkey the Sign Stealer anyway? Last I heard she had a court date. But what was her punishment and or fines?
ReplyDeleteMore on the great SANDAG boondoggle that of course our town dunce supports.
ReplyDeleteAll this "planning" is based on a fundamentally false assumption -- that the population of California and San Diego will keep growing as in the past.
The CA population started shrinking BEFORE the pandemic. Since then, our CA population has been dropping even faster, with NO sign that this trend will reverse.
Moreover, the CA age 0-17 state population peaked in 2004! Since then that population number has dropped -- EVERY SINGLE YEAR.
San Diego's population (city and county) has all but stopped growing, and the trend indicates that both will start slowing shrinking in coming year or two.
Check out the comments below the article. They are spot on.

Man, 30, stabbed twice in fight near trolley station
SAN DIEGO
A 30-year-old man who got into a fight near the Old Town transit center early Monday was stabbed twice in his chest and rushed to a hospital, San Diego police said.
The victim left the Old Town trolley station shortly before 7:30 a.m., and was near the intersection of Taylor Street and Pacific Highway when he was approached by an unknown man and the two began to fight, police said. The victim was stabbed twice in his upper right chest by the assailant, who took off and was not immediately located.
Police responded, and the victim was taken to a hospital, where he underwent surgery. He is expected to survive, police said.
A detailed description of the suspect was not released. No other details were immediately available.

Usually when the detail of the criminal is not released it usually means just one thing. Take a wild guess as to what that may be 13/50
Delete3:14 It’s not surprising at all that “Conkey the Sign Stealing Queen was welcomed w/open arms by Encinitas Votes.” The only difference between EV and Conkey, is that Conkey got caught, and they didn’t, not for sign theft and vandalism anyway (that we know of). But there were criminal charges against Lorri Greene for shoplifting. And of course there’s the inappropriate patient client relationship/s that resulted in getting her license to practice counseling taken away. It’s no wonder Lorri Greene was encouraging the EV community to rally behind Cremona. Unethical people typically surround themselves w/other unethical people. Maybe Conkey can take over the page if Lorri steps down like she keeps threatening to do, now that Conkey’s legal problems are done. Or are they? Anyone know what Tracey Conkey’s punishment was/is? This is important as it sets an example of what is tolerated.
ReplyDeleteLorri Greene fishing for compliments by threatening to step down for the 400th time is the definition of sad.
DeleteShe is craving attention. That's the main motivation behind everything she does on EV. 4:26 is right that it's sad.
DeleteIt just seems weird that Conkey showed up and started commenting again with no one calling her out. She should be ashamed to show her face, even if it is only digitally.
ReplyDeleteGo for it 3:49. Make it less weird. Has she been accepted back into the morris fold?
DeleteSo call her out 3:49. Surely not everyone is blocked from EV who has 1800 members. Who welcomed her back? And would you please let it go with Green. OK you hate her. We get it. However, the only person who spends this much time picking on a a 75 years old woman with health problems is either Jeff or Kim. The rest of us don't care. What exactly did she do to hurt you to make you such aa spiteful person?
Delete5:24- I can tell you what she did. She didn't kiss Kim and Jeff's butt and blocked both of them from EV. They said it was unfair and they would get her. I guess the only place they can get her is under an anon. post. My concern is over Kranz giving Mali a seat at the table. That is a real concern, not some bullshit nonsense K and J keep spinning.
DeleteAsk the council to allow the citizens to vote. An all mail vote is allowed per state code.
Delete5:36 K & J haven’t spun anything. Believe it or not, the rest of us in the community have eyes and ears. Awareness is not exclusive to J & K. We’ve all noticed how Lorri kicked anyone off EV who didn’t bow down to her and agree w/her(not just J & K). Lorri built EV by falsely claiming she was neutral. Yet she made it known she was gunning for another unethical person like herself with Cremona. Lorri’s “Safe Space” psychobabble claimed to provide people a place to express their views, but it was a farce. Instead she was axing people right and left. Bullies like her on a power trip shouldn’t be Therapists. So thank God she lost her license. People who are feeling down and out, don’t need a bad Therapist who kicks people to the curb for simply expressing a different view. And btw, most of us aren’t falling for the “poor me, I’m a 75 yr old lady act.” If she can’t take the fire, stop dishing it out, and get out of the way! But she won’t. She LOVES the power trip!
ReplyDeleteOK 6:48- Put your fucking name on all of these accusations. I'll take them to Lorri herself and I am sure she will answer. If not, shut the fuck up, as you have no idea what' you're talking about. Ask the City why she had to leave the Senior Commission. Was she screwing someone up there as well? Did she steal something from one of the, Funny, her email to the City said she was too ill to participate, but hey, that's probably bulshit too. God, of all the things in this town, you are concerned about a woman that has no power, is not liked by the Council so she is not looking for the D1 position, and oh yes, she is a racist. That one I put in for Mali. Did I miss anything. Now, go suck on your drink and let the rest of us have a conversation about things that really matter in Encinitas. By now I am sure she has heard about your bullshit and is setting you up well. But you're too stupid to get it.
Delete
DeleteI'm still on EV and I have ethics. You guys are a bunch of children. The election is over, in predictable fashion. If your only campaign platform is attacking women and anyone else who dissagrees with you, you're probably going to fail....
6:54 Bullies come in all shapes, sizes, ages, etc. She doesn’t get a pass just because she’s older. In fact, if anything she should know better for the mere fact that she is older. Many in our Community are older, and don’t behave that way. So most of us don’t look favorably upon anyone that has non-stop excuses, and continually whines.
ReplyDeleteLorri G lost all credibility with me when she posted a sexual harassment or assault claim against a member of council and then immediately deleted it.
ReplyDeleteIf the claim is true, then make it and stand by it. Making the claim and immediately deleting it certainly seems like she knew it was BS and she was going to get her ass sued off. Putting that kind of cloud over someone in a way that doesn’t allow them any avenue to challenge it and clear their name is a very shitty and chickenshit thing to do.
9:21 You mean like Jeff or Kim? Insulting, blaming, lying about former friends as well as candidates and deleting them off their website then stalking them just for disagreeing? Now that’s shitty and chickenshit.
DeleteI hear the third place loser is blaming everyone for his loss and harassing journalists and female residents. This is the behavior of someone who desperately needs attention.
Jeff, try and get a job and actually contribute something to society as well as your household. Otherwise, move to Maui. Loser.
She disagrees with Marco, Mali and Morris. The devil’s triumvirate.
DeleteAgreed…. And her ego is crazy. Her biggest claim to fame is she along with hundreds of thousands of people walked with MLK. ….
DeleteBFD…. There are more important things in life then reminding people that you walked with someone. Geeze.
Lorri doesn’t have “power” as you call it. She acts like she does though by recklessly deleting ‘ethical’ people. That is her big “power” trip. But she embraces and keeps ‘unethical’ people like Tracey Conkey. But you know…birds of a feather. Sadly, Tracey and Lorri both have a thing for stealing.
ReplyDelete12:04- So that's her crime? Deleting people from Encinitas Votes? So does Encinitas Now who we don't even know who is in charge there. Or Encinitas Progressive Unity, which you have to be screened to post something. Good grief. You really should get a life, or move to Hawaii like you said you would.
DeleteWhile I agree with you that stan moved away, this person writes way to you well, and has some logical debate.
DeleteStan and Kim are not capable of that task.
10:46 Every single comment that doesn’t fit your narrative, you blame on Jeff & Kim. You seem to forget that 25% of our residents voted for Jeff. And lots of residents have seen the horrible way Lorri treats people, so they like to comment on it. But make no mistake, Lorri has followers on EV that are way worse than Tracey Conkey. But Lorri won’t delete any of them. She likes to keep dysfunctional people like Tracey. But Lorri eliminates anyone who is ethical who has a brain. It makes her feel superior to everyone. It also gave her the false illusion that she was the smartest most powerful person on her Facebook page when she continually deleted nice folks.
ReplyDeleteJeff was third place with less than 7000 votes, so let's not exaggerate that 1/4 of the residents voted for him. Sadly, those voters had no idea what a sociopathic stalker Morris is, because he put up the sane face (as does Kim) when in front of an audience. In a real one on one race where Morris would be exposed, he wouldn't' have a chance. He had ZERO issue solutions, just vitriol and rhetoric.
DeleteOnce again, thank you Julie and Garvin.
Jeff comes across like untreated bi polar I with delusions of grandeur. Learn to act like an adult, and you'll be treated as one. Attacking every woman in sight will not qualify you for office or respect. How far has Encinitas and society in general gone downhill when someone who's only talent is stalking homeless people can gain any followers at all. Look at yourselves in the mirror, is his the kind of behavior you want to teach your kids? It's not that hard...
Delete9:21 Sexual assault? Wow, I can see where Lorri lost all credibility when she falsely accused a CIty Counsel member of that. As much as many of us don’t like the current CC members, claiming sexual assault when there was none, is what people here are talking about when they describe Lorri as unethical. And this is only one of many incidents that have earned her the reputation she has. Her reputation is no-ones fault but her own. And anyone that defends or condones her behavior, I’d have to question their morals and ethics as well.
ReplyDeleteAny ‘Good Therapist’ would tell Lorri to ‘own it.’ Which CC member did Lorri falsely accuse of assault, then retract?
Adding to that Marco let it slip that she once actually killed someone. I guess he was her attorney and managed to get her out of it. You would think she would be grateful, but instead she and Marco are not friendly at all. And his partner, Dave Peck, also confirmed it. They were both drunk and will probably deny it, but it's true.
DeleteI wouldn't be surprised 1:21. One time at pannikin her gun that she carries with her fell out of her backpack. It was so funny when she tried to explain why she had it in the first place. Nothing would surprise me with that woman. And no way is she 75, I don't care what she says. Go to her FB page and you can see she doesn't look anywhere close to that age. Anything to get attention is here motto. I still would love to know how she got off a murder charge. I hadn't heard that one.
Delete9:21- Shut up or tell us who this person that supposedly sexually assaulted her. Getting rather sick of these accusations to a person that has done more good than harm to our community. And since I do know Marco and Dave, I'll ask them to comment. No lawyer just blurts out something like what you are saying.
DeleteAll of your points you made about unethical behavior, and the reason for reputation or exactly why 53% of the voters voted against our town dunce for mayor.
DeleteBut asswipes, like Stan, John Gjata, Kathy leaves, and look at all the others listed on her is donation list contributed to the Dalakranz being elected as our mayor.
major bad to years ahead for Encinitas and all of you. 47% that voted for this fool or to blame and you are not forgotten or forgiven.
And you newbies like Mali, and Garvin shut the fuck up.
Learn some respect and overtime if your points are valid, you will earn respect. If not, you’ll just be a fly boy like Mosca and wither away to nothing.
5:15,
DeleteYou want me to name someone to extend and underline Lorri’s smear?
No thanks.
What don’t you ask Lorri.
I will say it wasn’t any current or recent council member. And it wasn’t a council member I particularly like.
But I stand by the fact that Lorri’s accusation/non-accusation was chickenshit whether it happened or not.
Lorri killed someone? Of the various gripes I might have about her, that's a new one to me. But I agree, under her watch EV has become (for some time) an echo chamber of anti-incumbency where commenters stupidly believe they reflect the majority of voters' sentiments. It was almost comical, and certainly cringey, the number of times the regular idiots on that page claimed there was no way Blakespear and Lyndes could win this cycle. Do they even remember their hubris? And now, it's all "blame the PACs," "voters are dumb," and "Tony didn't even get 50%." It's just a big old Dunning Kruger circle jerk at this point...
DeleteWhat I love about it is that they say the voters are idiots, which is a hell of a way to win people over for next time.
DeleteThen they blame a bunch of stuff they can’t control or change—assuring that they will step on the exact same rake next time.
The poster at 1:21 a.m. who claims that I once said Lorri Greene killed someone faces liability for defamation. I have never said anything remotely close to that and have zero reason to believe Lorri has done such a thing. Is this blog truly a say anything, no matter how false or libelous, free-for-all?
DeleteDAVE PECK - Please find out the legalities behind posting anonymously on this site. I would pay to have some of these disgusting posters exposed, and to be held liable.
DeleteHey your home values are tanking! Thanks Tony your plan to lower the quality of life in Encinitas is helping lower home prices and as a result lower rents Yay!
ReplyDeletehttps://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/story/2022-11-29/san-diego-home-price
This coupled with the sky rocketing inflation will make you folks who think you are rich struggle like us union folks and racists screamers like my friend Mali.
Keep pumping out the boxes and do nothing for the people getting smeared and run down on the roads..... I also love how you decided to quit caring for the pavement around town. The potholes all over really help slow people down and it cracks me up when I see an old geezer trip or a kid on a bike fly over the handle bars into traffic when they hit the potholes.
Keep it up Dalakranz. The majority of 53% of the voters must not understand that your plan to up up the volume in Encinitas is really working to lower home values and as a result rent in Encinitas. I can not wait to see all the long faces when you announce the opening of the regional homeless center in Encinitas.
Luv ya!
-Mali and friends!
Lower home prices? Check Zillow, genius....
ReplyDeleteRead the article. Are you saying tribune reporters are liars?
DeleteCome on get behind Tony. Tanking home prices is what we want. We want low home prices and low rent. And the way we get there at the lower the quality of life and open Everything up to the homeless.
It’s Encinita’s vision. Get behind it.
-Friends of Mali
Tony lowered real estate values across all of SD county, and nationally?
DeleteWow.
And here I thought rising interest rates as a response to inflation were making mortgage loans more expensive, creating conditions where buyers could not sustain further increases.
But I’m open to hearing about how Tony has a button under his desk marked “higher national home prices.”
yeah, prices are going to drop when the rates go up and people don't or can't get the loan.
Delete8:11- no. You’re so silly. That’s all mumbo-jumbo free enterprise is not real.
ReplyDeleteIt all has to do with Tonys great affordable, housing plan and section 8 housing to provide free, housing for everyone in the world. Encinitas is welcome in community and all of our homeless neighbors are super welcome to camp out in front of your house or we should build them all housing
Get with the times. The program is working.
Love ❤️
-Friends of Mali.
Nope,Tony had nothing to do with national home price deflation, but his brand spanking new homeless shelter most certainly will. That's especially true for whoever's neighborhood it's going to land in!
DeleteWho are the 47% who voted for the nightmare we are about to embark on with Crayons? I only ran into one person that admitted to voting for him. And I know ALOT of people!
ReplyDeleteThe more frightening question is, who are the 24% who voted for Moron 4 Mayor? That along with Tony's 47% makes me lose all hope for Encinitas going forward.
DeleteAnd that’s why EV is going private beginning of the year. The site has been up 8 years and most of the time Lorri has run it until she got sick. She has no back up since Glen doesn’t help. It started out with 50 people and if it takes it going back to 40 people that’s fine by me. I think the ones of you who are so quick to criticize, lie, etc a good person are a piece of shit. Yea Marco did say that. I was there. I don’t care what that clown says. Ask his partner Dave Peck. What an awful lot you are.
ReplyDeleteLet me add to Marco’s bulshit Lorri kicked him off EV with his contentious comments. He says it’s gone down for 8 years? Hard to believe all this time it was up it’s always been that way. Want to take on Marco who really knows how to give loves and kisses to the right people. He doesn’t run a FB page because he’s a coward and couldn’t take the heat. Ask him how he knows so much about what’s going on at City Hall when no one else can find out. He outed himself several times on this group. I honestly can’t believe anyone but Jeff and Kim would stoop so low.
DeleteWhat lies?
DeleteBe specific.
All I know is Marco is attorney of record for Lorri, manslaughter arrest. He must be a good lawyer.
DeleteSomeone sure has their head up their ass. Come out from behind the anonymous post and let's have a real discussion about this assertion that Lorri killed someone. If I were representing Lorri, I'd sue for defamation and get the IP address of whomever posted that. And if I was running this blog, I'd sure as hell take it down before such a suit happens.
DeleteMarco, so there is a way to have the IP addresses traced to hold someone accountable for defamation? Please do it, just so we can all see who these sick F's are!
DeleteLorri has been making the same claims about changes coming to EV for years. It hasn't changed and it won't change. She's a complete attention whore and needs the validation and approval that comes from her blog. Though she fancies herself a player in local politics, in reality she's just another bitter social media whiner that provides a place for other geriatric whiners to wallow in their own filth.
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't figured out the connection between Lorri, EV and this alleged blog you really haven't been paying attention.
^^ Nailed it.
Delete12:27- Not sure this time. I would have said that in the past, but she doesn't, doesn't want Mali on the Council-nor do I. The smaller group will give them a chance to plot and I know her best friend is a tech wizard who will probably put up firewalls. I have no idea who runs this blog, but I am pretty sure it's not Lorri. Personally I think it's Susan Turney but can't prove it.
DeleteNot Turney.
DeleteIf you want to know, it takes some homework. I did it years ago.
1) Go back to the earliest days of the blog. Ask yourself what was the subject that this person was so passionate about that triggered them to start the blog in the first place. You’ll find one wonky topic that shows up out of proportion to what the average person would care about.
2.) If the moderator of the blog was so passionate about that subject, it’s likely they were also writing op-eds and speaking at council meetings on the same subject during that same timeframe. Go do some research on who was publicly speaking out on that topic under their own name.
3.) If you come up with a name or two, compare your possibilities to what is known about the person behind this blog. For instance, they moderate another blog on wonky finance topics that only people in the finance industry would care about. Also, the early videos on the WC Varones YouTube channel are all from San Francisco. Look up your names on LinkedIn etc, and see if they were in SF during the same period.
You get the idea.
There’s a bunch more clues, but I won’t divulge them here, lest WC starts deleting the bread crumbs.
It’s not that hard. Probably took me an hour to figure out and confirm.
Andrew Audet. This has been covered before and is irrelevant to who runs it now.
DeleteNot going to play guessing games.
DeleteDo the work if you want to know.
Lorri Greene still can't even figure out how to not post in all caps.
ReplyDeleteIn 2020 after the mayoral campaign, she posted several posts announcing that EV would change, Big changes!
Never happened...
When Lorri Greene removed and blocked Mali from EV, she later claimed that she never did it.
ReplyDeleteA while back, on Encinitas Politics, EV member Jim O'Hara kept arguing and arguing with people because he believed what Lorri said when she claimed she never blocked Mali...despite the fact that there where MULTIPLE threads elsewhere where Lorri talked ad nauseum about how she removed Mali and blocked her from EV. Why Jim O'Hara couldn't let it go or listen to anyone else's point of view is beyond me. It's like he had this strict narrative (Mali=bad, Lorri=good) that he can not let go of.
Lorri blocked Mali from EV and after the 2020 election, she removed a lot of people for no reason. There was no rule breaking and she even commented in Progressive Unity that she removed those people because "EV will be changing direction and they won't like the changes"
Um, did she ASK them if they would like the changes? No, she just assumed. And the changes never happened anyway.
Lorri is a well meaning person, but she is troubled (as witnessed by her suicidal facebook post several years ago that resulted in the police going to check on her and the 51 50 she had not too long ago)
Lorri has created an echo chamber where people like Bob Nichols and Steve Golden think that posting negative comments is actually a productive use of their time. Keep it up, fellas, because the way Nichols, Golden, Graves, and Flores constantly trolled Blakespear's page only demeans your own points and your trolling helps get Catherine elected. It hasn't worked for you yet!!!!!
Ruben F. just HAD to post on every single post from CB's page, and every single post on Joy Lyndes' page. It came across as so frickin smug and condescending. Superior Ruben, how did that work out for you?
DeleteThat whole group of haters still has not learned to channel their energy in a positive direction for their own community. They'd much rather post silly gifs and use the facebook laughing face emoji to taunt people they disagree with. What a privileged group of sad sacks.
They think they were just attacking Catherine, that it would be annoying to her to comment on all her posts. What they did was bully their own neighbors. They were so relentless that when people want to post a positive comment, they are hesitant to because any minute now, oh look, there's bob or steve or ruben attacking...in several conversations, Ruben "protects" his free speech by stifling the free speech of others. Lisa Shaffer voiced a different opinion and RuBEN claimed she was trying to censor him. No, dummy, she has the same first amendment right that you do and she should be able to express that without you going all snowflake
DeleteThe issue with social media is, the rules of decorum that would apply if you were in person, don't apply, especially during a pandemic when a lot of people aren't meeting in person. Civility is the real loser, and everything becomes way to personal. You want to make a resolution for the new year? Quit attacking people online, especially women if you're a man. Have a sense of self worth that gives you some shame when you act in a way your parents would not approve of. It's pretty simple....
DeleteLOL takes a while for some people to catch on. In 2020, Bob Nichols posted over and over again, daily, the same looooong comments on Nextdoor and facebook and Catherine won. Then he did it AGAIN in this election with the same result, Nichols isn't smart enough to figure out he's the best volunteer Catherine has.
ReplyDelete(I'll throw you a bone, Bob, and let you in on the secret, only because I know you are too narcissistic to actually set your ego aside and contemplate the truth of this: if you post your truth once, it carries weight. But to post it on EVERY post of Catherines, to post it mulitple times in the same thread, to post it in response to supporters as a way to argue, to respond to people one, two, three, six times arguing with them? It makes you look crazy. It turns off undecided voters. You may have legitimate points to make, but the way you do it is like the boy crying wolf. You aren't changing any minds with those tactics. It comes across as childish and mean spirited and it draws the focus to YOUR behavior, not Catherines. Hell, even suing her didn't help take her down...and she was in the wrong in blocking you! Think about that...
How did all that work for you? What wasted effort.
Old Bobby Nickels is probably high tailing it off to Oregon as we speak, tail between the legs, and a chest of ducats from the SMOP tucked away for the future. I wonder if he got his Oregon voter registration cleared up before the election, or was that just his wife?
Delete2:18 Right, but you're assuming Social media has a ton of power, and that people are reading everything he posts and then making that judgement. It's a reach. Agree that it makes someone look a bit questionable mentally, but whether that influences voting, that's up in the air.
Delete6:00 agreed. People like Nichols don't sway any voters one way or the other, they only undermine their own credibility in the process.
DeleteMy respect for Ruben has taken quite a hit after seeing how he conducted himself. I want to be fair and assume that he was well intentioned, but we see this played out all over society: people get so worked up that in their tunnel vision, they don't realize how their posts may be coming across to others. And when we point it out the them kindly, they lash out and explain why they're right, or why they do this, or what's wrong with the person they just have to attack. But, dude, you lost the forest for the trees...
Ruben used to talk about servant leadership, which certainly can't be seen in how he conducts himself on social media.
Social media needs to go away. It's caused so much division, but that genie can't be put back in the bottle.
The EV haters never learn.
ReplyDeleteIt's hilarious watching Lorri try to wrangle who wants to stay in the group.
Steve Golden has gone back to blaming the Verdus for backing things they don't even back.
Noel Breen calls people names, besmirches character, and converses only in ad hominem attack mode. Then he criticizes other people who, wait for it, call names, besmirch character, and use ad hominem. Noel, take a gander at that big ole plank in your eye.
I honestly don't think Noel realizes his own hypocrisy. In his Carlsbad group, and elsewhere, he makes up names for the people he disagrees with (Seldom Wright, for example). It's a pretty Trump thing to do. He photoshops pics of them as well (A Jeff Morris thing to do).
DeleteHe rightly calls out Austin Hansch (who is a disturbing individual) but how can he not notice the similarity between Hansch's rants and Jeff Morris's rants?
Just the way Noel and Morris both attack, but conduct themselves as if they are ENTITLED to attack is annoying.
Noel, I have seen you call people worse names than Mali ever has, yet you are extremely judgmental toward Mali.
I don't agree with Mali's approach either, but I have to call out a double standard when I see it. All the name callers need to understand how to craft an argument without insults.
Did that guy ever live in Encinitas?
DeleteI think he moved out to bum-f—k Desertville after his wife lost an election in Carlsbad. Both he and his wife threw public tantrums because the Dem party endorsed someone else, and THEY WERE OWED that nomination.
That entitled baby tantrum BS explains everything you need to know about him.
Another similarity to Morris. The stage of social media gives them a platform to pretend they are normal.
DeleteMeanwhile, back at the EV Ranch, Lorri Greene is still chummy with the likes of sign stealer Tracey Conkey. Yet countless other upstanding law abiding citizens, got ‘Cancelled’ by Lorri for merely breathing. Lorri seems to be a strong advocate of the ‘Cancel Culture.’ She may have more in common with ‘Woke’ Mali, than even she realizes. Even X Therapists like Lorri can use a lesson in self-awareness now and then. Especially after having been disbarred.
ReplyDeleteOh give it up already. Lorri is an old woman, of ill health and questionable memory. She may not be perfect, but those of us who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
DeleteCompared to a tyrant like Morris, an emotional mess like Mali or a bully like Marco, she's a saint.
Bully? Because I don't put up with the bullshit that gets slung at me? Because I call out when people don't follow the law or defame someone? That's not bullying.
DeleteEmotional stability should be a requirement in the legal profession.
Delete6:54 So true. I’ve never seen anyone ‘dismember’ people w/such glee as Lorri Greene does. She rarely ever gave an explanation. She just axed people right and left, unceremoniously (not too much different than Blakespear). People were left trying to figure out why they couldn’t log in to EV, thinking there was a glitch. It didn’t occur to most at first, that she is mentally unstable. She no doubt has a ‘Safe Space’ where she “dismembers” Mr. and Mrs. Potato Heads body parts, before she “Cancels” them to the garbage dump in her role to help promote ‘Cancel Culture.’
ReplyDelete7:`19- Then it shouldn't bother you that EV will shrink to a smaller size and be a private group with a firewall for extra. protection from some of the assholes in this group. As Lori as stated many times, EV started out with 50 people in an attempt to have some civil conversations about the politics in Encinitas and things we can do as citizens. I haven't goner over there in the last hour, but when I did there sure were a lot of folks that want to stay on the site. If anything more people will be blocked if they are already members. When the group can get to a reasonable size, her idea is to do what she attempted 8 years ago.
DeleteThis is what Lorri lives for, literally. More manufactured drama to provide a pittance of self worth.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that Lorri mentioned tonight this blog, and made a joke about ‘oh, apparently I’m a murderer, ha ha.’
ReplyDeleteNote that she chose to address only something that was obviously unserious.
At the same time, she chose not to address the more serious issues, like her losing her license to practice for ethical violations, a shoplifting allegation, and her nutter posting and immediate deletion of a sex crime allegation against a council member years ago.
She chose to make a dumb joke about the easy thing, and not to address the hard things.
Interesting choices.
Who cares??? Create your own FB page if you do not like EV.
Delete8:07 & 9:07 Yep! Lorri is slurping up every drop of attention she can here on UC. She’s so starved for validation that she broadcasts this on EV, even though it’s negative. Very telling that she only addresses the one thing someone said as a joke, and not her actual real crimes. Next she’ll start seeking sympathy by threatening to shut down EV again.🙄 Then she’ll seek even more attention by bragging about her measles list of accomplishments. Her lame claim to fame redundant mantra is quite pathetic:
ReplyDelete1) “I walked with Martin Luther King.”
(In the dark ages).
2) “I marched with feminists in the 60’s
and burned my bra, b/c I hate men...
3) ...except my husband, b/c he was a
‘Rocket Scientist.’ I don’t really like
him. But marrying him is on my brag
list of accomplishments, b/c I’ve been
able to live vicariously through him.
(that was in the dark ages too).
4) “I built EV by lying and telling people
it was a safe space to express their
views, b/c I’m a poser. I did a bait and
switch lopping off numerous members
for no apparent reason other than I’m
on a huge power trip. Well b/c, you
know, I’m the only person to have
ever had a FB page. I tell everyone
it’s stressful and ruining my health, b/c
whining garnishes sympathy I crave.”
(It’s the only thing I’ve done in “ages.”)
🤣🤣🤣 did I tell you that I marched with MLK?!
DeleteWait till you're all old and repeating yourselves over and over and living through your past while managing age related illnesses.
DeleteBe nice, because one day you'll walk in those shoes.
On the other hand, when it comes to Stan, just keep blasting away! There's no insults bad or low enough for that moron.
She was saying this stuff 15 years ago +
DeleteIt’s not an age thing.
Man, who brags about the Measles these days?
ReplyDelete10:10 Yep! As you say, it’s not an age thing. As we’ve repeatedly seen, Lorri’s been burning her bridges for years now, and it’s biting her in the ass. She’s done this to herself. So enough w/her “poor me” act. I think people were actually overly kind sugar coating things and saying she looks good for for her age. Because in all honesty, she looks like a POS. But we digress, b/c no one cares that she’s let herself go. The real problem is how she treats others and who she is on the inside. And it’s not pretty. She’s repeatedly shown what a POS she is on the inside, so no one is buying her “poor me,” victim act. Lorri’s the one that’s been perpetrating evil deeds on everyone right and left. Didn’t she learn anything about this before her license was yanked for her illicit behaviors? If a 75 yr old woman still hasn’t learned to take responsibility for her actions, at her age, she’ll never learn how to “own it!” The first step for her, is recognizing she has a problem, which we know will never happen. So sadly, we’re stuck w/the cranky old bat!
ReplyDeleteShe should have sued $tocks to high heaven years ago for his unbecoming atrocious behavior at a party with his wife there, no less. You trolls are despicable. What goes around, comes around, and you trolls are overdue for some instant karma. If this is not moronic behavior..... it is. Lorrie has always warned people before deleting them from her site when they ignore her requests to keep it clean and on topic. She is worthy of our respect for those that can grasp the meaning of respect. You trolls show your lack of an awareness of respecting others, whether you agree with the topic at hand or not.
ReplyDeleteThere is an easy fix. Don't go there. Create your own blog where you can spew all the vitriol you care to.
Instead, she chose the chickenshit path.
DeleteTrolls be Moron and Watchdog sycophants. Bhavani is now pimping for the moron who’s pissed he finished behind Cremona and fears his loyal blind followers are seeping away.
DeleteLorri is on the hit list because she didn’t and wouldn’t let the Morons and his right wing crazies destroy her page.
Pathetic.
Thus his call for his own "social media outlet." After vowing to stay off social media. Can't you just see Stocks, Walsh, the morons plotting an overthrow?
DeleteUhhh, ok, your hugeness Lorri
ReplyDelete*highness
ReplyDeleteNot Lorrie, but you knew that. She would use her name, not like you, you moron.
ReplyDeleteNote to everybody commenting on EV: Lorri Greene spells her name as you see it in this sentence.
ReplyDeleteBFD. No one cares how you spell your name.
ReplyDeleteIf you're going to post about someone, you could do the courtesy of spelling the name right. Plus, it would lend some credibility to what you post. Do you live in Insinitus?
ReplyDelete4:42 Love the auto correct typo/Freudian slip of “hugeness” rather than your “highness.” Thx for the chuckle! On a serious note, I’ve seen Lorri in person many times over the years, and she is in fact “huge.” So I’m having a hard time picturing any men making a pass at her. To be fair, I’ve also seen Stocks around over the years. And although he’s no looker himself, I never got the feeling he was someone that strayed, or is a player. I’m not sticking up for him if he did something inappropriate, but he doesn’t have a reputation for being inappropriate. Maybe he just complimented her, and she blew it out of proportion like she does almost everything. After all, in addition to her other flaws, Lorri has gained a reputation of being a drama Queen who fabricates almost everything.
ReplyDeleteWow is your picker ever off. You can keep trying to drum up fake news but it escapes no one’s attention that you are talking to yourself on most of this page.
DeleteStarvin’ Garvin no longer in the spotlight? Off the newspaper’s “call for an opinion” list? Off EV? Basically no longer relevant if he ever was.
The pompous one has me wondering who brought him here to muck things up. He is a good mucker fracker. I have to hand it to him for mucking this recent election up. That is being more polite than he deserves. That a candidate sold out and bought into his crap, is worthy of a wtf?
ReplyDeleteCandidates.
Delete3:00 Wow is your guesser ever off. Just b/c you talk to yourself doesn’t mean others do. I just got home from a business trip and was surprised to see the slug of comments about Lorri. But then not really. She’s been burning her bridges for a long time. So I added my own personal comment and observation. And we DO still have this thing in America called Free Speech. So sorry to disappoint you, but you can’t delete me like Lorri does to people.
ReplyDeleteThe first amendment right to free speech does not apply to privately held social media. Whoever owns the site can include or delete whatever he/she wants.
DeleteIt applied to Bleakspear's Facebook page because she's a public figure using the page for campaign, self-promotion and other public purposes.
What is the big deal about Lirti deleting people in her FB page? It is no different than Jeff and Kim deleting all the people that didn’t agree with their rhetoric. Geez it is just social media people.
ReplyDeleteThe difference between the morons and Dr. Lorrie? Where have you been? Hiding your head in the ground? What is wrong with you people. Attention deficient disorder? Too much time on your dumb smart phone?
ReplyDeleteNo one is hiding their head, the point is why are you all making such a big deal about to FB pages that have less than 4% of the population as members. No one cares.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you care so much that others do? Mind your own beeswax, you're getting weird.
Delete2.43. I care. Those 4 percent on EV vote. And since I can’t stand Kranz and cronies I want to be a part of taking them down. The only FB group that tries to do this waa EV. So no one complain when you’re blocked come mid January.
ReplyDeleteSorry who has their head in the sand this time. WD routinely blocks people if they don’t like what they. As well as Encinitas Now and Encinitas Progressve Unity.
ReplyDeleteLorri Greene is the only site that has consistently deleted people the vast majority of the time for no other reason than, she has a bug up her butt. And she’s also on a power trip and loves to whine and get sympathy over nothing. She really needs to get a real problem. “No one cares” about her hang nails, metaphorically speaking.
