Its hard to follow the bouncing ball of Brent's baloney arguments, but we've done our best here at Fix Pacifica. Now, in today's SF Chronicle about the Parks and Rec's 6-0 vote to keep the golf course, Plater takes another mighty swing and hits nothing but sand:
Oh, so now its NOT about the snakes and frogs, the seawall, the polluted water in the lagoon, golfers maliciously killing threatened species, rising sea levels, citing the McCain/Coburn report that a project to pump treated water to the golf course is a waste of money, or how keeping the golf course intact will threaten the very planet on which we live (**Author's Note: all the arguments listed have been used by Brent except the last one, but I expect to hear this sooner rather than later.)
Now its about the $$$, or as Puff Daddy so eloquently put it: It's all about the Benjamins baby.
Seems like Plater should have been an attorney for the tobacco industry, since he takes so many plays from their playbook: Never admit you're wrong, and then change your argument once you're proven wrong. Of course Plater fails to mention that the option to close the golf course and "restore" the natural habitat WAS A MORE EXPENSIVE OPTION.
So there Plater sits, deeper in the sand trap than when he started, refusing to admit defeat no matter how many times he fails to get his shot on the green. He just keeps hacking away, absorbed in his own self-importance, and refusing to see that he is holding up play for the golfers stuck behind him.

Plater's main problem stems from his poor choice of club selection. As long as he continues to utilize the truth mashie in the trap, he will never overcome his bad lies.
Plater has to lie to support his agenda, because his facts are not facts and his science is not science. It's high time people began to see him for what he is --- a fraud.
"We are spending millions of dollars and proposing to spend millions more on a golf course in suburban San Mateo County right at a time when we're proposing 30 percent cuts in our urban neighborhood parks, our recreation centers and our open spaces right here in our backyard," said Brent Plater, executive director of Wild Equity Institute. "That is an unjust solution."
Plater talks like he is a SF taxpayer & citizen. He told me himself at the Community Center farce of a meeting that he lives in Oakland. When he says "we" just who is he talking about? As a resident of Oakland, a city which has no financial stake in Sharp Park whatsoever, he is out of line by saying "we".
But as we know he does not seem capable of speaking the truth on any level on this subject.
Is Plater a graduate of The Vreeman School of Twisted Speak?
Vreeman speak "our biodiesel plant, our grant money", the Coastal Commission ask him who he was representing since the applicant was Whole Energy Fuels, rather than the City of Pacifica. The Coastal Commission did not seem to be amused by this confusing twist. In follow-up the presentation was passed to Whole Energy Fuels to make their own presentation. Vreeland slammed the Pacificas who showed-up to speak against the proposed plant for cause. Nancy Hall was there to speak as "an ordinary citizen" who was actually involved to some extent with the proposal for something like 4 years (in short no proper disclosure on that one either).
I still say Vreeland's phoney anti-restoration outburst (where they called him a drunk) was a total stunt. He and Plater are cut from the same cloth and are on the same team.
Notice Vreeland still hasn't taken any official position on the outcome. He's still got his finger in the air looking for the most votes and political capital over the hill.
BTW..... cliffs of Esplanade falling into the sea could have been mitigated. Mother Nature doesn't give a rip about Council politics.
Now they are trying to blame Coastal Commission.
Lawyers are going to have a field day.

Forgot to add, "and we get to pay".
Coastal Commission needs to be abolished, they have caused more destruction than preservation. They are a "do nothing to the natural preserves" organization. They are in disagreement about; humans come first, not a sand dune.
City Council needs to stand up, they caused this horrendous preventable catastrophe. All they needed to do was give the land owner their dang permit to shore up and defend the wall underneath the building, but no..they had to try and play God Father Mafia style and extort a public trail. Foolish. Now, the tenents have to pack up and find another place to live. How sad, it's Christmas and the City Council is the Grinch.
Public needs to be aware of this type of person; nature's needs come first before humans. And, humans have no "rights" to protect themselves against an angry nature. I say, let's put this type of person on a boat and push them out into an angry sea.
Well said Anonymous.
