Council chambers are there now, as well as a sewage pumping station (insert joke here). <br /><br />The city thinks it can "add value" to the property by handing off a pre-permitted development to a set of builders who will construct condos/townhomes, a restaurant and a hotel. <br /><br />Of course, this being Pacifica after all, "adding value" means spending literally a million dollars in consultants to study the property and recommend retaining a loud and smelly sewage pump station on the property and to insist that a kabillion-dollar vanity library (that the community doesn't support) be built on a sizeable portion of the property.<br /><br />That being said, there will be some revenue generated upon the sale of the property, but just think how much of that has already been blown on the mobilization of the Third Airborne Fleecing Division of the Consultant Combat Command.<br /><br />The claim has always been made by the city that this project, once completed in the year Twenty-Nevery-Never A.D., will bring in $500,000 in annual tax revenue. To which I say, they could have only come up with this figure while at a team building seminar at Burning Man and the city should probably dial back the hallucinogen use.My lifeboat has a hole in it!noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481238059942383326.post-68194556568914131762015-06-12T11:46:27.526-07:002015-06-12T11:46:27.526-07:001042 The books are at the bottom!
