Councilman Luke Shaffer wants to “adjust” Prop A

Coast News:
"Prop A, as great as it is, I’m not going to say outgrown itself, but at some level, there are some adjustments that might be needed,” Shaffer said during the meeting. “Are you willing to open it up and see if there are ways to adjust it to the advantage of our city?”
I don't think Shaffer even understood that as a citizens' initiative, Prop A would require another ballot initiative to "adjust".

What parts of Prop A does he see as a problem?

  1. Luke is demonstrating the kind of leadership that is essential for our community. By maintaining his independence and not aligning himself with Bruce, he is proving to be an independent thinker. Given the numerous challenges our city faces, it's reassuring to have a capable and insightful individual like Luke on the council. His local roots and understanding of our community's needs make him a valuable asset in representing and addressing our interests effectively.

  2. He's pointing out the fact that Prop A has not done anything to reduce density.

    1. It does help with blanket up zoning and only focuses on at least trying to meet the current fucked up state housing density requirements.

    2. Yeah right 7:07! The EV regulars aren't even sure he's read prop A, and they're his supporters.

  3. Prop A doesn’t do anything but inject cost and time into the process of complying with state law.

    No local proposition can override state law, so there’s no “fix” as some people imagine it. Our state Constitution has a supremacy clause, which says state laws cannot be altered or contravened by local ones.

    Prop A will be set aside every time we need to update the housing element. There is no act that a judge can take that a future judge cannot or will not take in the future given similar circumstances.

    I’m sorry to be the one to tell some of you, but Santa Clause is not real.

    1. Which means it’s incumbent of any sitting council members to create opportunities to meet state housing demands without triggering Prop A, including upping the percentage of affordable units so growth becomes more reasonable. The last housing elements outcome is not acceptable as a path forward.

    2. 9:02,

      So meet state requirements to upzone land to R30 without triggering a Prop A vote?

      Derp derp.

      Please consider a vasectomy for the good of society.

      Delete
    3. No. Just when there is a site that is up zoned to R30 only developments with a higher percentage of affordable housing get approved. Got it?

      Delete
    4. 2:50, like what city?

      I’m all for pushing the percentage as high as we legally can, but at some point it becomes a poison pill intended to block projects by making them unprofitable.

      If you have cover from other cities successfully building projects at a higher percentage, then great—let’s do it. Otherwise, it’s a red herring.

      Delete
  4. Luke’s focus in changing prop A is to make it stronger to support more local control, considering all of the recent state law changes.

    Luke is a very smart individual.

    The smart council member Marco is very smart.

    The predator supporter gonzo is a very dumb individual.

    Do not listen to very dumb individuals.

    Do not listen to Marco Gonzalez and do not listen to Tony Kranz. They are a town dunces.

    1. 7:24. When did he say that? He asked about it a lot at the meeting but didn’t elaborate. In his Coast interview he didn’t go into specifics either. I think Luke either doesn’t know the process required to change a law. Or he has plans of growing support to vote for a change. But no one is clear on what exactly those changes are.

      Delete
    2. I asked him about it. You should learn more before you start posting a bunch of bullshit like Gonzo

    3. You may have asked him about it but he only cooked up his “strengthen it” story after the backlash. Not buying it he didn’t once use that word Wednesday. This is his poor attempt at damage control.

  9. Something happened to Shaffer between November’s election and Wednesday night. Shaffer proposing to change city law enacted by the residents, with no preparation as to what he would change, signals he’s serving a new master. Marco is loving this if that’s not a red flag nothing is.

  10. Bears copying and pasting from the poster above - a lot.

    “Which means it’s incumbent of any sitting council members to create opportunities to meet state housing demands without triggering Prop A, including upping the percentage of affordable units so growth becomes more reasonable. The last housing elements outcome is not acceptable as a path forward.”

    The last two plans were nothing short of giveaways to developers. Measure U is the proof of this. Of course the voters said no. Create plans that don’t involve developers as “stakeholders.”

    Don’t believe Marco Gonzales’s disgusting claims that we say no because we don’t want brown people living here. The people will approve plans to keep the state off our backs but not the developer driven jokes we’ve seen from Blakespear.

  11. He never does say who is going to write his “enhancements.” If Prop A supporters think it is fine the way it is that means that the people who want it gone will be writing his “adjustment.” This is no brainstorm he had suddenly. This was put into motion before the election.

    1. I am not sure what 10:08 means, but I'm sure it wasn't meant to be kind. However, let me, for the record, say I honestly think something, or someone, happened to Luke on the way to the forum (some of you may not be familiar with that phrase but you can look it up). All through his campaign he said he was in total support of Prop. A, and now that he is on the Council, it appears he has changed his mind. Why? I am not in his district, so I couldn't vote for him, but I would have given what he said on the campaign trail. Since he seems to have changed some of his platform, I guess we will have to wait and see. Same for Marco, who would not have been my choice and I don't believe it was Bruce or Joy's choice either. However, this is the new Council. No, I am not particularly happy with either one, but the citizens voted for Luke, and the Council voted for Marco. All we can do now is wait and watch. Ironically the first meeting of Prop. A was at Tony Kranz's home. But the reality is this. Prop. A has protected us from the high rise buildings you see in some cities close to us. And so far, the State has left us along on that. If you want high rises, then OK, mess with Prop. A, but before happens, I urge you to read it, at least the first 5 pages. Luke has been backtracking since he came out with his statements, but he said what he said in a public meeting, and it's hard to backtrack. However, to change Prop A the public still has to vote on it. Not sure what Luke wants to change, as he is rather vague on it, but I know I will be watching very closely.

      Delete
    2. This too bears repeating: if Prop A supporters are fine with it as is, who is left to change the language? Answer: its opposers. So this business about wanting to "open it up" is BS unless you're someone who got to him on the way to the forum (yes got the apt reference) and got his support to kill it.

      He won't say where he got this idea from. The longer we wait, the worse it looks.

    4. Prop A had zero effect.

      It was suspended and was not in effect when the city council implemented our housing element.

      They implemented exactly the same thing they would have if Prop A didn’t exist—because for all intents and purposes it didn’t exist when they passed the housing element.

  13. "He's pointing out the fact that Prop A has not done anything to reduce density." Where does his "fact" come from? How many developers decided to build within general plan restrictions who might otherwise have done much worse? How many said no to a Prop A vote on their project?

    He's pulling his "facts" out fast and furiously from ?? Between this and his performance at the meeting prior where he would have gotten Encinitas into legal hot water he's not showing leadership he's showing recklessness.

Well ahead of the election even? Y'all REALLY don't recognize this appointment sets a new low in cronyism and back room dealing?

    1. EV harpies? I’m not happy with his appointment. Bruce voted for him just to avoid having to go to election and have just a four person council between now and November. Jim and Luke obviously spoke between themselves, but that is not a brown act violation. Look before you leap.

Yet Bruce making these mistakes really surprised me. He definitely knows better. It's clear he's unwilling or unable to properly control his own meetings in multiple regards. As Mayor that's one of his primary responsibilities as compared to a Councilmember.

  37. It’s obvious to anyone with eyeballs and a brain that Prop A is a failure. We have R30 projects, and there was no public vote to approve the rezoning.

    People who think that Prop A can be “fixed” or “tightened” to close loopholes are kidding themselves.

    A judge determining that Prop A can be ignored isn’t a loophole, it’s a fatal flaw that cannot be repaired. You can write whatever you want into the law, but what good is it if that law can be set aside by a judge?

    Prop A is a waste of time.

Instead he enlisted other liars to use his military background to try and cover for him. Now we find out bro's campaign promises were also lies. Here you are trying to appeal to bros sense of honor? If bro ever had any honor it ended with his DD214.

    1. 👆 What a fool.

      Besides sounding like a kook, If you had any real info, you would post it, And would’ve posted it during the elections.

      You’re wasting everybody’s time.

      Time is Precious. Ask Emily‘s family.

      RIP Emily. 😢

    2. "Bro" language aside the poster is right Luke got caught again only this "gate" is significant. The more he tries to justify the worse it gets.

    3. He doesn’t need to justify anything. He got elected and he’s doing an awesome job.

      We see you, freak show.

    4. 12:40 may have Luke's attitude nailed. He's already elected, he never explained any of his earlier deceptions, so why start now? He can do whatever he likes, voters are suckers, and his supporters don't care anyway.

    5. responding to kooks like 12:54 and the freakshow, is like banging your head against the wall.

      I chose not to do it.

      Enjoy your wonderful peaceful Sunday, stay safe (meaning- stay away from the bike traps and Leucadia Blvd and Hwy101 intersection), and God bless you and your family.

    2. Luke and his masters knew that Julie was the best and obvious choice. They also knew Julie was preferred by most people. Since Luke and his lapdog Jim had already agreed on MAGA Marco, they had to ding Julie. The way he did it, by implying that an older woman wouldn't have the stamina to keep up with the responsibilities was both misogynistic and ageist.
