Hi Mary Ann,
I think you've experienced firsthand over at "Patch" the kind of negativity that is being generated in our town by a small group of people that are agenda driven - that being develop the heck out of Pacifica at the expense of our scenic beauty. It is for that reason they even attack your efforts to win the Rand-McNally poll. Well "Fix Pacifica" os ground-zero for their efforts so WHY even post here and give them legitimacy? Let me suggest that you and all people of good will just ignore this blog in the hope that it will eventually just fade away as irrelevant.
OK people, bring it on!
"...develop the heck out of Pacifica at the expense of our scenic beauty."
Anon (845), FALSE MANTRA, which is the reason your lopsided majority leadership over 8+ years (but agendized over 30 years) got us into the current compounded, unbalanced economic and financial mess in the first place.
As if you hadn't noticed, this neglected city already has 50%+ permanent "open space" (probably 60% in process). Consider reviewing "sustainable economic development" guidelines, you know where to find that information.
Anon, in case you hadn't noticed, the people you were complaining about aren't exactly fans of this blog.
They were invited off of Fix Pacifica because every discussion they were involved in degenerated into the kind of ugly fight you saw on Patch, and the kind of ugly fight you're apparently hoping to start here.
"develop the heck out of Pacifica at the expense of our scenic beauty".......
This mindless propaganda reminds me of Tea Party idiots telling the Government to leave their Social Security retirement checks alone. They don't know what the issues are and neither do you. We love our scenic Pacifica but in case you haven't noticed it is rusting away or being swallowed up by a growing cesspool of leakey sewer laterals. The Government is broke. No more welfare. Get It?!
Pacifica needs smart planning and development that involves more than creating trails for frogs and snakes. We need to attract tourist dollars, create local jobs build a sustainable economy so we can take care of our beautiful city.
The economy is broke. Get it? The old economy is gone and it ain't coming back. You can't build a new economy through brick-and-mortar development. Read a newspaper, especially the business section.
Nothing like fostering ignorance Anon@8:45. At the very least Mary Ann isn't afraid to use her real name.
Thank you MaryAnn for taking the time on your day off to walk the business areas of town asking what is needed and how businesses are doing. The Chamber is usually with you but was busy with other meetings yesterday. Kathy is right. This City has more than 50% designated open space but to sustain the open space, we need business. That is what the Chamber is attempting to do. To draw business into this town for all of us to use and that all of us need.
Anon8:45 are you just yanking the chain here or do you actually believe the nonsense you spout? If you're a believer, you need lasik (if you haven't aged-out) because "our scenic beauty" is a myth. A thing of the past. What we have is a broken down, financially failed, dysfunctional town. The pier pictured on Rand-McNally voter site is a chronically run down structure that doubles as an outdoor toilet. We have trails full of dog shit because the city can't manage that problem, LMB with overflowing trash containers, again because the city can't manage the problem. Nasty looking so-called shopping centers at Manor and Eureka Sq. screaming a shabby welcome to Pacifica to anyone driving through. Empty storefronts scattered around town. Overgrown weeds, dead cars, rundown houses. A treatment plant that stinks up what should be prime real estate as well as several nearby neighborhoods. Another prime ocean-front parcel used for council meetings that has been allowed to rot into the ground. Years of failing infrastructure...how's your sewer lateral?
Fines and lawsuits for city negligence and plain old incompetence. Missed opportunities and diminishing or non-existent services. Decades of no money, no leadership, no accountability. No balance between the needs of the residents and the disastrous idealogy we have blindly kept in place on council...that's your idealogy. For decades. That's Pacifica. Sure this contest is harmless and who knows it might bring us a few travelers. A lot of those other towns are really pretty. I guess some of us just can't get past feeling visitors to Pacifica are going to be very disappointed. Let's hope they leave thinking no worse than "it's an ok place to visit but I sure wouldn't want to live there." But wait, that's exactly what you want, isn't it?
Anonymous 3:45 for council 2012!!!!
Yeah, it's awful in Pathetica. "our scenic beauty" is a myth. Why would anyone want to be here? I gotta get outta this place, if it's the last thing I ever do.
anon636, That's the usual response from those who won't face reality. You should go now because it is going to get a lot worse. Too bad because this town does have amazing gifts and fine people. They deserve better but they haven't become angry enough to demand it from those they elect.
"You can't build a new economy through brick-and-mortar development."
Anon (141), utter nonsense. Do you have a job? Where do you shop? What doctor do you go to? Do you travel, where do you stay? Where do you live? Where were you educated? You know, all that human civic, recreational and business stuff.
How are you suggesting we build a balanced economy in this city without brick and mortar development? Brick and mortar is conventional city infrastructure, but maybe you're a genius. You know something the rest of us can't figure-out for the past 30 years. So, let us all know the alternatives you're thinking about-- other than more taxes and fees, or continued city decay of course. But, if you have no solutions, its beyond time to fix the structural problem in this city.
Oh, Animal, you waste your lyrics on us. Do go on!
Animal, Get off of my cloud! Now would be good.
The economic revolution will not be televised.
Guess Pathetica couldn't afford the PCT26 time. Couldn't we trade The Economic Revolution for the City Council telecasts? It's as close as this town will get to an economic revolution. How about sound but no video for Council? I like that idea a lot. Or for the imaginative, maybe just video but no sound? Or substitute sound from those NJ Housewives? Jersey Shore? Snooky could sit in for a missing Vreeman or Pete!! Or when anyone is recused! Now that's government.
