Downtown 101 dodges a bullet on transit high-density

 The Coast News:

In the Tier 2 TOD zone, parcels zoned as residential, commercial, or mixed-use could be subject to development of up to 80 dwelling units per acre and 55 feet tall within one quarter to one half mile of a transit stop, 100 units per acre and 65 feet in height within one quarter mile, and 140 units per acre and 85 feet tall within 200 feet.
Somehow Encinitas and Solana Beach avoided this fate.

Well done, whoever pulled those strings and greased those palms!

      no one‘s talking about Trump, 😵‍💫🤪. We all know he’s a disgusting, vile pig, very similar to the freak show.

      What we’re talking about is you’ve lost it and uncle Bruce has lost it.

      We need real city leaders that are not continually grow the obesity City xHall and will fund traffic enforcement needs and infrastructure needs.

      Why does Bruce Ehlers continue to employee the creators in implementers and maintainers of the infamous bike traps that have caused so many collisions, dearth’s, and serious injuries?

  3. Imagine being so dumb that you think that the elections run under Obama and Biden were fair, but the one run by the Trump admin in 2020 was rigged by Dems.

    I know.

    It’s difficult to imagine.

    But just imagine that level of retarded.

    So for this upcoming election we have the following candidates from Rachel, Julie and friends:

    BRUCE "I'm not MAGA I just used to be Republican, walk and talk like a MAGA, only support MAGAs, but totally not" EHLERS

    MARCO "I'm 100% MAGA but like pretend I'm not OK? Oh and don't forget about Charlie Kirk" SAN ANTONIO

  17. Either you're actively opposed to Trump and MAGA or you're supporting it. Like Nazi's, there's NO MIDDLE GROUND. Bruce surrounds himself with MAGAtts. Bruce appoints MAGAtts. Bruce hangs out exclusively with MAGAtts. Bruce publicly defends MAGAtts and their racist bullshit. If you support Bruce, you support LukeJim and all the behind the scenes MAGAtts who support them and put them there.

    Do you think its fucking coincidence that the inner circles and heaviest donors of Bruce and the 3 stooges are all devout MAGA????

    Do you think its coincidence that every wacko right wing group including the Christian Nationalist crazies all endorsed them????

    We all know who the MAGAtts are gonna vote for, it's a given. That alone should tell you something. But it's the useful idiots who like to tell themselves that this is somehow different. They think they can separate the local from the rest. They'll spout some bullshit about nonpartisan roles, local control and whatnot. You know who leads that chant? The MAGAtts who want to fool voters into electing more MAGAtts. Every vote for Bruce, Luke, Jim, Marco or Ed is furthering MAGA goals. Anyone who doesn't see that is either full of shit or so broken by their hatred of Blakespeare they can't think straight.

    1. More times than not, invoking the 5th is an admission of guilt. Someone who is genuinely innocent of something is usually more than happy to do whatever it takes to prove they are in fact innocent. People who refuse to answer questions, it usually means they are trying to avoid incriminating themselves through actions they did.

    “Any reasonable person who has followed his unhinged obsession with me would readily come to the same conclusion,” he continued. “Therefore, although it pains me to do so because of the respect I have for the legislative branch of government and my decades-long record of cooperating with Congress, under the advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the 5th Amendment of the Constitution to refrain from answering your questions.”

    This cowboy bit is definitely gonna pay off though! I mean cowboys and Encinitas are a classic pairing. 🤣🤣🤣

    No doubt the MAGA and spoiled horse people that were already gonna vote for him still will. The rest of the district will laugh at MAGA Marco, The Poser Cowboy. Bro publicly admits he doesn't know shit about horses or bein a cowboy, he just likes the hat. Anything to hide that head, right?

      Now some of these assholes have realized it's better to be a secret asshole. It's easier to trick people and their shit reputation is less likely to rub off on the shit candidate they support.

    2. I think everyone who's followed the political circus for the last 5-10 years knows who's Maga and who's not. It's no secret. Right now, this city is trapped in a cycle of a small percentage of people yelling at each other about being a Libtard or Maga, when really, I think most of us would like the old Cardiff bike alignment back and our streets paved, one of which Bruce is doing a great job at. I think we have to get away from cheap labels, and get down to who's a dumbass and who's not, and Bruce is no Dumbass, but the other 3, they're way to close if they're not already there. Try and read the material BEFORE the meeting guys...

    4. 10:43 We know why. They're bout 95% MAGA and Watchdorks.

      The number of people who actually know what's happening behind the scenes is tiny compared to the voter pool. It's why those same MAGA use anonymous IG accounts to spread lies and propaganda. The fake NPP council ran on transparency when in reality it's all smoke and mirrors to hide the truth. The truth is that as soon as you look behind the curtain its all MAGA and Watchdorks. Encinitas doesn't like MAGA and Watchdorks.

    6. I'd agree that in the larger scheme of thingsd, the bike trap isn't the biggest issue, but given the amount of injuries that have happened there, it does carry some weight. I don't cycle any more and I don't lose sleep over it, but you can't say it's not an issue, or Blakespeare and Marco wouldn't defend it with such gusto.
