Come tonight and watch our Supervisor try to justify her fire-sale of County property to her developer friends. I made a funny. Fire sale to developers: two of her biggest campaign corruption "contributors": the fire fighters union($40,000+ they got a raise this year) and of course the very grateful developers. Get it? I know Penny gets it. There I go again. It is not easy making jokes about in-your-face political corruption your own home town when it destroys public schools to the extent it has here in Mason District. But I try.

Why pray tell is the number now 375? Where is the control factor in development? 175 more units with requiste more cars and more children. Our aged infrastructure can't handle all this. <br /><br />Seems to me that the first step is to assess the infrastructure then determine how much more development is appropriate. Isn't there any common sense being applied to revitalization planning?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-75203850414461163692016-01-07T08:02:42.457-05:002016-01-07T08:02:42.457-05:00Who is going to pay for the temporary shelter to b...Who is going to pay for the temporary shelter to be retrofitted? If we are doing an even swap and now we have to pay millions to retrofit a building how is that in our (County Residents) interest? Let's help out a developer and in the meantime make the residents pay for them to make billions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-62540350133398742472016-01-07T06:41:29.994-05:002016-01-07T06:41:29.994-05:00Ellie, why didn't you mention the Landmark Off...Ellie, why didn't you mention the Landmark Office Building which the county will be paying twice the amount it's worth?
