He'd have missed being reappointed to the Planning Commission by his supposed idealogical opposites. Whew!<br /> I know it's difficult for you to think of your candidates being supported in word, dollar and vote by nimbys, but these things happen all the time in the real world. Candidates certainly know where their support came from. Once someone is elected, the burden and challenge to find ways to represent the entire community takes on even greater political and ethical weight. <br /> And beyond that, O'Neill always had the edge because of name recognition at the ballot box. Works almost as well as being an incumbent or having a vote splitter in the mix.

Slicker, harder to pin down on anything, and not yet as worn-out as the Vreeland-era Nimbys. These new Nimbys seem more cynical and much less idealogy-driven, but maybe that's what makes them so embraceable. However, I suspect that their vision for Pacifica, realistic as it may be, is one that any of the old-line hippies could embrace. So, we end up with a library dominating a rare piece of prime oceanfront real estate instead of development that would create revenue for this town. Another save! Like placing the WWTP in the quarry or this sewage tank planned adjacent to LM Shopping Center or all the land given away like Mori Point. So what? It's a coastal thing and we never really lose our Nimbys. We just think we do. Oh well. Is it time to think about a legacy? Names on a library plaque or a bench on Palmetto or wage an honest fight for economic survival of your town?

Maybe if its not broke dont fix it, but alas there are plenty who think it's beyond broke, its bankrupt. What difference would it make who is on council really..?

Tom Ball (head librarian) promises a mobile library for the valley but a converted bus isn't a brick and mortar library where there are meetings and other activities. Tom is a great guy (if you ever interview him) His 3 sons helped me with the murals and wood graining at the Hilton Library years ago. Great family. Extremely community orientated. <br /><br />And as one poster above has commented the CCC doesn't consider a library on the old WWTP site as public serving. <br /><br />The concept of libraries is going through so much discussion right now because of the internet/Google/Wikipedia, it begs the question what and why are we still thinking one site?
