Several people in Encinitas are frustrated that parking will go from parking your car head-in to parallel parking which they say will create 300 less parking spots next to the beach and restaurants. Construction zone signs are posted for a mile from Leucadia Blvd along North Vulcan Avenue to La Costa.
Encinitas residents Sara Mertz and her husband Mike Brawner said they are disappointed they weren't able to provide public input before city officials started to reconfigure parking spaces.
"I would say don’t eliminate 300 parking spaces along Vulcan Avenue. It's ridiculous," Mertz said. "There is no parking spaces at all in southern California! People want to go to the beach! It’s going to hurt restaurants owners and people who live on this street."

City reducing Vulcan parking even as it adds big new apartment complexes

Huge issues at play here. Gift of public lands. That city area should be a nice pestrian trail to safely get children from the densely developed and families with many children and and essential jobs that don’t pay that great from their Apartments to school safely.
ReplyDeleteCircumventing CEQA, when City paid for a new parking lot to be built, which changed formally pervious earth areas to impervious areas thereby leading to a dramatic, increase in flooding along that highway corridor.
The gift of public funds to the adjacent private property owners needs to be addressed. Why isn’t someone being charged for that parking opportunity and the reduction of space for pedestrian needs?
When was this project brought to the city Council?
I live in Vulcan Ave and I never got notice or heard about the proposed changes.
So many questions, and no answers to date from our stinky Mayor Tony Kranz. What is a resident to do?
When will I be compensated for the loss of walking area by the city putting in the impervious parking lot which caused further problems for the city?
CBS8 killed it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for covering this huge issue that the city was trying to bury. Sorry inquiring residence want to know what is going on in their neighborhood and why can’t people have a safe place to walk on the street to get from their apartment to the school without getting run over?
The city talks about safety, but yet they can’t even put this item on the city council agenda yet?
I can’t wait to see this one come to city council in the next meeting. What’s the plan Mayor Kranz?
We now have cars parked 1/2 in the dirt and 1/2 on the street.
ReplyDeleteYes there is a new dirt trail. Sloped and not very walkable.
Bikes are now forced into the double death of door-zone and riding in the middle of the street.
Parked cars are now at risk of getting doored too.
Win for walkers
Win for bikers
Win for motor vehicles
Huge win for sign makers!
The only one who lost anything is Bobby in the bushes.
Let’s see a report on that. More like:
DeleteLoss for walkers
Loss for bikers
Loss for motor vehicles
Huge win for sign makers!
Huge loss for those impacted by increased runoff in the Corridor, floods, and the cost of drainage improvements to get rid of the increased runoff.
And Bobby in the bushes loses too.
Starvie!!!! Help!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have CBS 8 calling me!!!!!!
Sweet darling,
Please CALL ME!!! I NEED YOU.
Residents are calling sounding really pissed off and I’m afraid to see them out in public. Now news reporters are calling. What am I supposed to say?
I know we had a fun weekend and got totally diverted, but I need big-time help . I forwarded you all my emails, I got the read receipts, so I know you received them. Please tell me what to do. Please Starvie call me…. I am freaking out and I’ve eaten four boxes of donuts.
Oh shit there’s a news reporter at my door… eeeek!
-Phony with my hair on fire.
PS, can you pick up a few more boxes of donuts on your way over?
Imagine the poor young reporter they send out to do a story on head in vs parallel parking. What other stories do they get sent on? Old lady in Clairemont claims to have worlds best tuna casserole. La Mesa child finds rock that looks like Tom Hanks. Vista teen makes unusually large rubber band ball.
ReplyDeleteYeah, right. Watch the way this one unfolds.
DeleteNice try Starvin and good morning!
“Just you wait. It’ll be different this time.”
Delete—Ballad of a loser.
Sure Starvin,
DeleteMight wanna focus on spelling next.
Reminder- please remember the milk.
Scoot over Fletcher, Tony Kranz, coming in hot.
ReplyDelete30 acre parking lot on the public dime within proper Public and CEQA review for the benefit of the adjacent developer/apartment is coming back to bite Kranz.
She should have allowed the rail trail to proceed in that area for the public good similar to Cardiff without directing otherwise. Now she is screwed!
Public records requests are flying and attorneys are retained. Major lawsuits, payouts, settlements and possibly criminal charges all to follow?
Phony may want to retire now, before she get sued personally or charged with other offenses. She is in deep and will make Dan Dalager look like Mother Teresa.

Ba Bye Tony!
Starvin dearest,
ReplyDeleteI hope your here shortly. Please make my frown turn upside down.
- Phony
Notifications to neighborhoods vary depending on manipulation by kranz and what he thinks he can get away with. Sucks to live at the north end of Vulcan doesn't it. Remember in 2024.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet you people aren't blaming the leftists in Sacramento that threatened lawsuits if the city didn't allow the ghetto apartments. Do yourselves a favor...WAKE UP.
ReplyDeleteThe tweaker newsom and the idiot bonta. They are the ones with the agenda.
If you stop with your Qanon "ghetto" and leftist crap we might be able to meet in the middle. But you can't can you. Go back a few years and look at what $tock$ was trying to do to us. But you won't will you.
DeleteA lawsuit threat is a nothingburger unless you are breaking the law. And if that’s the case, then the asshole is the law breaker, not the one threatening to enforce the law.
DeleteGawd you people are sad. Everything the left does it destroys. The left...not the Democratic Party.
DeleteIt is all being done with purpose. Wake up...
As guns pour across an open Southern Border the left pays no attention. They want to control the law-abiding citizen. Wake up.....Stop being the fool
And yes....GHETTO APARTMENTS
Starvie, thanks for the visit. You always know how to relax me. 🤭
ReplyDeleteI’m still stuck though, should I screw the young kids and the mothers in those apartments that have no safe place to walk and have to walk along sketchy Vulcan Avenue in the vehicle lanes with no ADA Access for a little Timmy? There’s a lot of those families and a lot of them aren’t really rich, and some may even vote.
Or should I screw the adjacent apartment owners who I gifted the parking lot to and the associated developers?
Oh, now that I write that it becomes obvious. My bad duhh, the gifted property owners and developers provide contributions for my campaigns, and Christmas is coming up…
Thanks for helping Starvie. You always have a way of clearing my mind. Thank you sweetie and see you on Saturday!
-Phony
Basically Kranz is bought and paid for by the developers. Anyone who hasn't figured this out yet, is not paying attention. How do you think he got elected in the first place. You can blame Garvin and Julie, but the BIA is the one who gave him the money to run and win 49% of the vote. Don't be fooled again. This is the man who had the first meeting of Prop. A at his home. Now he wants to build mega buildings. Why is this? The answer is noit
ReplyDeleteLies, often repeated, are still lies.
DeleteAs are truths.
Delete12:36 again. My computer published before I was done. He wants to build mega buildings because the BIA wants him to. Forget affordable housing. There is no such thing in Encinitas. Everyone knows that. So why did he sell out. Why don't we fight like lot of cities in the State are doing?
ReplyDeleteNo city is successfully fighting the state's housing laws.
Delete1:14- liar
Delete* no city is in compliance with state law, for a reason.
DeleteJust because the BIA owned politicians say it, doesn’t mean it is true or right. All these state laws do are mandate gentrification, proof is in reality. Affordable housing laws divorced from minimum wage are immoral. CEQA was powerful because it worked and based on the very settled science that development is the worst thing for the environment. Gutting CEQA to “save” the environment is MAGA stupid. More segregation and more Marco Mansions is all we end up with. Great for developers and property tax dollar hungry cities, shit for affordable housing and the environment. Anywho, enjoy you heatstroke on your 15 minute walk. Don’t forget the inhaler and keep your head on a swivel, much more likely to be hit by a car or assaulted in a urban environment. On a positive note, road bikers are fucking off to rancho Santa Fe. Speaking of RSF, all homeless should be dropped there. They don’t continue squat shit to the housing or homeless problems. Time to bring the problem to their front door.
Kranz won because he’s an incumbent and a Democrat, the race was saturated with candidates, Julie and Garvin helped him with whisper campaigns and promoting Jeff Morris. He didn’t raise much money and was already enthralled to the developers and special interests.
DeleteHe’s lazy and happy to let staff, Garvin or non profits do the work or solve our problems for him. He’s not an ideologue but neither does he have an original thought in his head or a back bone.
He’ll get away with what he can and most likely will. There’s no political will in the state to do what’s right for its cities, or residents unless it’s taxable and buildable.
Tony Kranz is perfect as far as the state is concerned: goes along with their schemes without question. Without a spine, he has no moral obligation, unless it suits their purpose.
2:21 agree entirely, but it's "in thrall," not "enthralled." Otherwise excellent, carry on. All too true. Consider too what Kranz and his handlers are getting out of promoting him and look for the same deal to be struck next year!
Delete2:47,
Deletehttps://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/enthrall
Used incorrectly above but I guess that's the way you like it :)
DeleteResidents need to appeal this to the Coastal Commission.
ReplyDeleteThe CCC is very interested in coastal access, changes to parking, and increasing flooding by converting natural previous ground surface to impervious parking lots.
There this about Kranz never met a side deal he could resist. https://encinitasundercover.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-leichtag-jewish-federation.html?m=1
ReplyDeleteGreat link. And this is just one that we know about. Think of all the others with all of the up zoning that went on and all of his lickety-split approvals.
DeleteAbsolutely disgusting.
Developers 💲💲💲💲owns Kranz.
Today a friend told me they can’t come to Encinitas anymore because they don’t know how to navigate the roads, where you are suppose to turn, how you pass, where to park, and the signs are dizzying. I told them that’s the idea to make Encinitas so un enjoyable everyone will end up as miserable as the council members and staff that need all our extra bars overflowing the streets to frequent and eke out a shred of happiness.
ReplyDeleteThe truth is in there.
DeleteCars were getting towed today.
Bobby looked shut up tight, too much commotion.
We need a citizens buy off the mayor fund.
ReplyDeleteThe parking wars will soon commence. It will be absolute chaos, with vandalized vehicles and possible physical conflicts between people. This "gift" to the developers has gone too far. Provide adequate parking or don't develop.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteTony Kranz is perfect as far as the state is concerned: goes along with their schemes without question. Without a spine, he has no moral compass, much like Blakespear, Gonzalez, Hinze, Lyndes, Blackwell (mostly), Antil and quite a few city employees. Zero moral compass. Many would sell their family members out to an experimental biologic as long as they capture hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. These people are the nihilists to the umpteenth degree. They are literally and figuratively the definition of malevolent.
While it pains one to conclude the reality is these individuals will sacrifice truth to increase their ego and bank account. Proceed with caution as the worst type of communism is being cloaked in "progressivism."
You can't handle the truth.
Open carry is coming whether legal or not
“goes along with their laws without question”
DeleteFixed.
Alarmist much?
ReplyDeletecommunist reference sounds like Bhavani much
DeleteBhavani is one scary conspiracy whackadoodle Trumper. I think she still supports the alleged wife beater. Our own local Eva Braun.
DeleteI can’t understand this. How did Ehlers go along with this monstrosity on Encinitas Blvd, knowing it will be a traffic nightmare, is severely under parked and there are no road improvements planned for either Encinitas Blvd or Quail Gardens? Oh, sorry except for a couple of new stop signs, reduced speed and a roundabout on QGD. Now that’s going to help traffic, isn’t it?
ReplyDeleteOver a thousand units planned within this square mile and Ehlers votes with the four dunces? Doesn’t even cast a protest vote?
https://thecoastnews.com/encinitas-denies-groups-appeal-of-moonlight-apartments/?fbclid=IwAR2IXBKzeBCliIh-fq4J9khj-pLOF3Qtie_hUNQXpZavDBdX93NT9jGw4TI_aem_AcvC7TN52TgoScqH54n94Wd1h0SqzbLAmLFngu_YNFlRuLdCZlUlQWCmu734lFa4Fio
Here’s a quote from the article:
The City Council ultimately sided with staff and denied the appeal in a unanimous vote.
This is really disappointing.
Let's see. Who has a thing for Bruce? Curiouser and curiouser.
ReplyDeleteThe poster has a point. WTF?
DeleteSo funny. Encinitas uncensored has zero posts about all the bullshit going on in the City Of Encinitas .
ReplyDeleteClear indication that starving and pigtails are involved.
I just went to that page and wanna fucking waste of time. I’ll never go back to that stink pot.
Why don't you post something about Kranz or whatever concerns you on Uncensored, and see if you start a conversation?
DeleteWe see responses here because it's anonymous. Uncensored is Facebook, and no one wants to put their name, even their fake name, on that sort of conversation.
It’ll be removed immediately that’s why. He has safe harbour there.
DeleteThat’s right. Facebook is META. And when it gets too hot for pussies like Marco and Fletcher,l they will try and get a judge to request IP addresses.
DeleteAt least I feel like Google is a little better than meta about civil liberties.
Private information in America is kinda questionable at this point. Is anything truly private or anonymous?
I can’t stand meta-anything. I feel like they are the anti-America. Anti-liberty an anti-US Constitution.
Meta seems to fit well with the communist centralization agenda.
Remember, when the big news was Snowden came out and said the US was typing phone calls. 🤣
I think the US is doing a lot more with your private data than just phone calls. 🤣🤣.
I would love to post some fracts about Tony Kranz at City Hall on Encinitas uncensored. I work at City Hall and I can tell you staff is embarrassed to have that fat ass princess as mayor.
And what the fuck is going on with our city manager?!
-not funny
As much a some of you go on and on about EV it’s the only group that Kranz doesn’t have safe harbor. 2 videos on that site have shown his true colors in recent days.
ReplyDelete👆🏾💯
DeleteTrue. Lorri may have her issues and Slater as well but at least they are posting real issues and Slater has a cool last name.
Encinitas uncensored is clearly under thumb of Starvin’ and big dollar developers with their big time developer agendas and that’s why nothing relevant to Tony or BIA shenanigans is posted. It’s a Sham site.. and you’ll see only the BIA supporters post there.
Honestly, the way that I saw the last election go down I would not be surprised if the big time developers on the national level have been paying starvin to come in and sway the city council weak minded vote. Who has the weakest mind of all? That’s right, the town dunce who has already proven, he will take trips to Israel at the developers request, and then vote accordingly.
We are talking about billions of dollars of development profit on virgin Encinitas coast line.
Big money makes strange bedfellows.
Just look at Princess Phony and Admiral Starvin.
Again, EUis the best news source in Encinitas.
ReplyDeleteGranted, there are some interesting story lines, and some of the posts are bullshit like from Marco and other losers.
But it’s pretty easy filter throughout the BS and that’s why all of the City Of Encinitas staff, city council members, commissioners and activists all review the site daily. I can tell you from working inside City Hall that this site makes our city manager and mayors skin crawl with anger. they would love nothing more than to control the narrative.
Thank you EU.
Unfortunately, they do control the narrative.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, you’re not thinking correctly. The community does understand, or at least a good percentage of them.
DeleteI guess we’ll see you in the next election what kind of information comes out about Phony and his gal Admiral Levine … oh shoot that’s not it. I get them confused all the time- I mean Admiral Starvin’
Check out the resemblance - https://www.hhs.gov/about/leadership/rachel-levine.html
Only at City Hall. Not in the community.
ReplyDeleteWish I could agree, but this community is disengaged or doesn't care enough. It's too late anyway. Most of the 15 projects are approved or will be and now Tony and Co are aiming for the next community character destroying projects. Let's see how much more damage he'll do before he's re-elected in 14 months.
DeleteVery pessimistic. You're supposed to fight to the end.
DeleteRealistic. Take a look around you.
DeleteYes. What’s important is the fight.
DeleteNot whether you are dead wrong on the law without a prayer of winning. It’s important to fight so the lawyers get all of the money and the R30 happens anyway.
Fight fight fight.
Lose lose lose.
Appeal everything to the Supreme Court, and then to the Galactic Tribunal. And then when you lose, pretend you didn’t and ignore all rulings.
Do whatever you want, with no consequences, ever.
Brilliant.
I so love the public comments at our council meetings. I love the results. ❤️
ReplyDeleteWe get to see Phony’s face got from smiling about blabbering on about whatever presentation he gave for about 30 minutes to when public comment starts and his face turns into a sphincter and he searches the room for any hope of his admirer, Starvin’
Starvin’ - I think you need to start coming to the meetings to support your girlfriend. That will absolutely complete the spectacle.
🥰🤣😘
Some days it's more obvious than others that a single whackjob is responsible for more than half the comments here. Today is one of those days.
ReplyDeleteKranz and the other council members are literally the worst ever. Aside from Bruce they're all corrupt developer puppets. They only care about their fauxgressive agenda and filling their own pockets. Their votes are paid for by developers and non-profits and they still get their orders from Queen Blakespear. They're woke agenda is destroying Encinitas and they vote against the interests of the residents every single time.
ReplyDeleteBruce is the only good councilmember, we need 4 more like him to save this city. Every council member and staff other than Bruce needs to be fired because they're all morons. Bruce is the only one on the side of residents and will always vote to protect us.
Now here's the conundrum y'all. If both of those statements are true, why does Bruce vote with the woke majority nearly 100% of the time? Why did Bruce vote to reject the appeal of this apartment monstrosity? There's a couple obvious conclusions to be drawn from this paradox.
The first conclusion is that in all likelihood, every one of the council members attempts to do what they believe is best for the city and its residents. That difficult task includes navigating various laws to avoid expensive unwinnable lawsuits or worse.
The second conclusion is that since the complainers deliberately ignore this paradox and ignore Bruce being part of the 5-0 nearly 100% of the time...it was never about the votes. What it's really always been about is the culture war, partisan politics and the hatred by some of all things progressive. If only there was a label for the majority of these people and their cognitive dissonance. Some commonality in their beliefs to describe them. It's on the tip of my tongue...
There should be a statue erected to recognize Bruce. He has accomplished a lot in his short time in office.
DeleteSure Margo.
DeleteYou don’t have to be a Republican to hate the phony, damaging, woke, virtue signaling this council practices. They’re a bunch of hypocrites. For example, let’s ban straws and plastic bags while our dirty water from years of redirected flooding in Leucadia flows into our oceans, or building excessive dense housing communities and limiting parking access, preaching we shouldn’t drive cars, but creating more pollution by added traffic, because guess what, everyone and the tourists we need, drive cars. There are tons more examples.
DeleteBesides, this is the laziest, most incompetent follow the leader council since Blakespear. No critical thinking and no pushback against bad planning or decisions. They’re happy to go along with destroying the character and the environment and some may even be benefitting. What I wouldn’t give to see that proved!
Bruce isn’t the hero his worshipping crowd believes him to be. Nonetheless, he’s a far superior leader and thinker than any of them could ever wish to be. It’s problematic when any politician is put on a pedestal, whether it’s Ehlers or Blakespear. They should all be judged without partisanship and by a very high standard.
Folks not worshipping, but hopeful. Compared to Kranz and his yes-women there's a huge gap between them and Ehlers even if you don't always like how the vote goes.
DeleteCheck out Marco on EV. He lies and gets away with it. What a jerk!
ReplyDeleteKing of disinformation, say anything for a buck, gratuitous nastiness. Deception for sale. Predict he won’t be back on there for long, he can’t help what he is.
DeleteThere's plenty of evidence that he's a jerk but I've yet to see anyone show Marco is a liar. We'd all love to see it happen, go ahead and prove it.
DeleteSeriously? You just got here then.
DeleteHe's been corrected any number of times by the planning commission. Pay attention then come back and ask your dumb question again. He doesn't have a trashed rep for nuthin.
DeleteHe is an arrogant hypocrite. His only objective is to line his own pockets, while touting a phony self-righteous line of BS. He has helped destroy the character of Encinitas, along with Blakespear. Tell everyone never to patronize the law firm he is associated with.
DeleteSo not a single example proving he's a liar? Too bad.
DeleteAs you like it.
DeleteWho will be the first to take credit for the new Vulcan walking trail? How many tumble weeds lost their lives for this?
ReplyDeleteIt’s gonna be as nice as Cardiff’s right?
DeleteHow many businesses when people give up looking for parking and spend their money elsewhere? How many 2024 mayoral votes lost when the adjacent neighborhood figures out it was Kranz who handed them a boatload of overflow parking and cut through traffic?
DeleteSo June H was there representing the Vulcan girls thanking Tony for the tumbleweed junk yard hiking trail.
ReplyDeleteTwo nice women have a great presentation of the shit hole the city (Tony) created on Vulcan Avenue as compared to the nice rail trail completed by BIA for her homies in Cardiff.
So when was this project approved b city council and how could the CEQA review allow for that huge increase in storm water runoff to an already flood prone area?
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone have a project No or when the city approved thd project?
When have you ever seen staff say CEQA applied? That's right, never. It's how Encinitas rolls.
DeleteCEQA appears to be a waste of electrons. "This is not a project, thus CEQA does not apply"
DeleteIf there's a budget code for it on the time card, it's a project.
10:04 Yes, ALWAYS CEQA exempt.
DeleteThis is the last straw. Welcome to Del Mar, you bougie assholes.
ReplyDelete
