  5. Most of the senior planners need to be relieved of any responsibility for the future of our town. They have been clear on where their loyalties lie, lie lie, for decades.

  6. Where does Allison's blood-splattered mailer (accusing Encinitans of right-winged attacks) fall on Beauchamp's Dignity Scale? OUT THE FRICKING ROOF.

    1. You mean the mailer that Allison didn't send yet right-winged crazies like Rhonda are claiming she did? How ironic.

  7. Of course Grover wasn’t at any of the meetings regarding the decision on his project. He knew it was in the bag. Right Tony and Kellie? Y’all have a mutual admiration society after all.

    Thank you for once Tony.

  12. Tim Bratton is right. Let the state run their beaches. The City should step back and save a ton of money that could be used for other things.

    We do not get any revenue from it. And paying for lifeguard services has no value. Only big cost and the state should be paying for it anyway.

  15. It is with great sadness, I'm announcing my resignation. My real job is selling boner pills and because all of the freak show members are being ousted I've lost all of my clients. This has been devastating to my business. Density said I could try moving some pills on the facebook page she moderates, so I guess there's still hope.

  17. Dennis Kaden did a super job letting people know what is really going on with the RHNA low income units. He mentioned "Our Neighborhood Voices" as a group to stop the developer plants in Sacramento that are forcing massive number of units, 85% Market Rate, to only 15% Low Income, that have no place in the suburbs. Also, Livable California has numerous studies that show that using a dense metropolitan area to determine the number of low income units needed does not apply to many of the small suburban communities throughout California. They have determined that the RHNA numbers for the 6th cycle are too high by 50% or more. That would lower the 850 LI currently required RHNA units by 50% or more! Hopefully, the new Council, with the help from the folks in the community, will get on this issue and stop-the-steal.

  18. One of the legislative solutions that Preston supported was "allowing flexibility so that municipalities can develop context-specific solutions to the housing crisis, recognizing that our state is diverse and solutions that make sense in major cities may not work in suburban and rural communities."

    5. Correct, 10:56.

      Delete
  19. 9:57 I tried to interpret Prestons answer on her Voice of SD interview, as her possibly acknowledging that an incorrect numbers of RHNA units were assigned by HCD to California cities, b/c those numbers do not apply to the many cities that are suburbs, or rural areas. If that is what she was indirectly referring to, I doubt that she would have fought for Encinitas RHNA numbers to be reduced, because of her debt to the Developers/ BIA. Livable California researchers results have determined that the RHNA numbers assigned to CA are 50% higher than they should be. Which would mean a 50% decrease in the RHNA numbers for cities that are suburbs or in rural areas.

    ReplyDelete
  20. 10:56 If she had gotten in office, she would have used all the fear mongering excuses that developers/BIA and the CC doing their bidding have used on us. Our hands are tied, builders remedy, we will waste 10's of millions on frivolous lawsuits, we'll get into the no-net-loss and only have 180 days to fix it, so lets keep L-7 open as an option for 100% affordable units!

    1. She was already repeating the "millions in lawsuits" lies Kranz and others fed to her. No investigation on her own or she would have known they were lies. That's what we would have gotten. No apologies to everyone claiming she would have been a "gift" to our council. Not attacking, stating fact.

      Delete
    2. Sadly, they were all repeating the same political land use lies. Many of us tried to present facts but we were then the target. This game was about a landgrab and not equity. If this was about equity, FoxPoint farms would not be running an advertisement with a bunch of young fit upper middle class white women. The advertisement has one black model. So do we think that Mali and three land use lawyers she called BFFs were aware of the scam?

    8. Lookit, in the same breath I can't get excited about paying for prisoners' sex change operations. I'm blaming both, can you really not see where we (the left) went too far and yes, alienated the middle? The middle we needed to win, btw? You've given us a madman for president. Wake up to the fact that many Democrats are not on a page with you and the election proves it. Making things like the prisoners and yes, drag queens in the classroom front and center was a recipe for disaster. If you can't grasp that then our party is done, thanks a lot.

  26. The freaks show scumbag predators lost big time this election.

    They should take this Saturday as an opportunity to lick each other’s wounds and get the fuck out of Encinitas!

    Kranz, Boner AntHill, chicken lips garden gnome, Kevin-guzzle, and Harry Bush all gone. They now join the disgusting list of former political pervert Predators, including Nathan Fletcher….

    When you lie with scum, you are scum. Be gone scumbags.

    So so, so happy for the future of Encinitas!

  27. This is great news, now we have market advantage and shoppers from all over North County will choose to shop and dine in Encinitas’s because it’s more cost-effective and we have a beautiful communicator Shop in…. Keeping a lower sales tax actually increases sales tax revenues sometimes.

    No smart person likes paying more taxes for wasteful services.

    Encinitas becomes a higher quality of life better run city in the future. San Marcos and Escondido join Vista and become much lower quality of life and scummy communities. It shows the voters in Encinitas are smarter than the voters in San Marcos or Escondido.

    Maybe because of their intelligence, that’s the reason why they’re able to save $$$, have a good financial , and afford to live in Encinitas and not in San Marcos or Escondido?

    Over 60,000 residents do.

  28. In his final acts, in a frenzy of meetings, Mayor Kranz punted the ball deep. If this results in stopping the developers, he could go down as the best mayor ever. That's the only way...

    2. But he's not stopping developers. After 45 minutes of public testimony he was all to ready to go into closed session and give Grover the Piraeus farm. And no, his hands were not "tied," this is an icing on the cake deal.

    5. The last few meetings he's been stonier faced than usual, same for Blackwell and Hinze who look like they want to fall through the floor. Door can't hit them all in the rears fast enough, no grace and no representation. They fool themselves that they're doing right but together with Blakespear they've run things in an echo chamber. Observe "staff" looking happier like a burden's been lifted. No doubt considering the story of Kranz's heavy thumb on their work.

    6. I hope the focus of staff becomes more resident oriented. The staff currently roadblocks citizens while ushering in developers and giving them preferences over the tax payers paying their salaries.

  30. This election is a disaster for Bruce.

    Bruce is a smart guy. He understands the law. It’s easy to tell people what they want to hear when you are in the minority because you can just blame the majority.

    4. This backing into parking spots is soooo dumb. Every car will have to wait for one car to back in, clogging an already congested street. Just pull straight in and wait for a break in the traffic to back out. Im all for spending money to beautify and upgrade our streets but the execution is horrendous. Signs, paint and then more signs to explain the paint. You shouldn't be able to be considered progressive unless you have an IQ above room temp, otherwise, just stick to the tried and true.

    Just before sunrise on December 8, 2018, Walker, a longtime cycling advocate, was riding her bicycle in a “sharrow” lane on North Coast Highway 101 when she was hit from behind by a truck headed southbound near Phoebe Street intersection in front of the Leucadia Post Office.

    ENCINITAS — Three years after cyclist Jennings Worley was fatally struck by a large commercial truck while riding his bike along Leucadia Boulevard, the parties in his family’s wrongful death lawsuit have entered settlement negotiations, recent court filings show.

    ENCINITAS — A 15-year-old boy died last week after he was struck by a van while riding an e-bike on a thoroughfare in Encinitas, authorities said Monday.

    The crash occurred about 6 p.m. Thursday on El Camino Real south of Encinitas Boulevard. The teen was headed north on the road when he changed lanes into the path of a cargo van, according to the county Sheriff’s Department.

    After the crash, the teen was rushed to a hospital, where he died late Friday morning, according to the Sheriff’s Department and county Medical Examiner’s Office.


    The office identified the teen as Brodee Braxton Champlain-Kingman.

    ENCINITAS — Ryan Currie, a 48-year-old Encinitas father of four — who lost his wife to cancer five years ago — was killed a week ago when he crashed his bicycle in Cardiff.

    Sheriff’s investigators say Currie was not wearing a helmet as he rode north along South Coast Highway 101 shortly after midnight. He crashed near the entry point of a “protected” bike path that uses barriers — green plastic pylons and white-striped asphalt curbs topped with green reflectors — to separate riders from vehicular traffic.

    Currie was found on the ground in the bike lane by a passerby. He died before he could be taken to a hospital.

    During a September 2022 council meeting where the project was approved, then-Mayor Catherine Blakespear said protected bike lanes are a necessary safety measure, especially for the high volume of students biking to and from San Dieguito Academy.

    Blakespear said that while protected bike lanes are more expensive, they create a safer environment and align with the city’s goals of reducing traffic through mode shifts.

    “It’s definitely a little bit more expensive to do protected bike lanes, but there’s just no question that it’s safer,” Blakespear said

    The project was approved unanimously after it was briefly taken off the consent calendar to accommodate a public comment from one resident who expressed concerns about the project’s design, arguing that costly protected bike lanes could trap cyclists near driveways in the high-density, high-traffic area.

  47. 6:33am. Your take is convenient and misleading.

    First, Roberta had no lights or reflective clothing or awareness as she cut diagonally across the empty post office parking lot and merged into the traffic lanes before sunrise. Do not discount the headphones adding to the mix.

    Second, Ryan Currie had no lights, was riding his bike while under the influence and crashed without outside causes other than his own. Sad for all, but the blame was his own.

    None of these accidents that involved a vehicle cited the drivers. None. Law enforcement could tell who was at fault.

    Those unfortunate and innocent drivers will have to live with this as long as they live, even though it was clearly not their fault, as determined by law enforcement.

    Why do some persist in bringing alternative opinions and that is what they are, into a tragedy?

  48. The city still has not reduced the speed limit while traveling North from Manchester Ave to Santa Fe Drive. They reduced the speed limit "after" SFD, which does nothing to protect the kids, from the speeding cars, traveling North on ECR to SFD, so they can safely turn left at that intersection to get to school. The high speed limit on ECR, before reaching the SFD intersection is one of the reasons that caused Brodee Braxton Champlain-Kingman death. The other was the city's negligence to build the badly needed infrastructure, that was on the books for years, to protect the kids at that intersection. How much will the city have to pay out in the wrongful death lawsuit of this young boy? 50 Million, more?

    2. 💯Had encinitas not put the cart before the horse, these people would not have died. Had some people in encinitas not advertised to innocent children, and inexperienced parents, to get the kids on a bike, with out first taken every precautionary step to ensure the roads were safe, a sweet child would not have been killed, by a motorist unable to stop because he was going too fast, so he hit Brodee and threw him 50 feet to an unspeakable, horrible death.

    Highlights another very recent failure for the City of Encinitas that will not end well.

    Let’s start with the good- City of Encinitas pulled back the parking away from the Blufftop at Beacon Beach. They should go a step further and just convert the new parking lot into a bike and pedestrian only area. That beach access is better served with no cars parking along the unstable bluff top.

    What is very bad and the city needs to address immediately is - On the northern side of the parking lot the city added a bunch of fill material, which adds tons and tons of new weight to an already very unstable bluff area that has experienced settlement. You can see the settlement in the Airbnb property just north of Beacon Beach parking lot with the cracked wall and the settling bluff face.

    That added fill weight is going to accelerate the collapse in that area. I hope no one is killed when it happens. That three story home will be toast.

    Again, because of neglect and bad decisions from the current failed city council, The taxpayers are going to pay big big big big big settlement claims for this next failure.

    This is my gift to the taxpayers Encinitas as a local ambulance chaser and an Encinitas resident. Let’s say you have been warned.

    Next time, I will be doing my job and collecting big big settlement payouts for the victims.

    Thank you and have a nice day,

  63. Blakespear will lose the next election as California will find itself struggling for Fed money. Her district funds will get very tight, she’ll have to continue backing tax hikes to appease Newscum, in the end she’ll piss off voters while her opponent gets all the votes.

    You could see the writing on the wall with the Presidential election, our local council election, and now you’ll see it happen to Blakespear. She’s a gonner!

    Tell everyone how embarrassed and ashamed you are to be white and wealthy all while driving you $100K Tesla that says "COEXIST". This is one of the reasons you Progressives lost, the majority of the country wasn't buying into your bullshit.

    Help the poor people, but ban all combustion cars, Ban Prop 13, raise gas taxes, income taxes, increase sales taxes, attempt to penalize people for driving on the freeway, etc etc. Progressives are all bunch of hypocritical spoiled trust fund babies who grew up as coastal elites. But so long as you tell people how ashamed you are of being white and wealthy, even though you love it, you're not one of them (the coastal elites).


    This is why you lost the election, because people see through you bull shit.
