— building what will be one of the tallest residential towers in the western U.S.
 |
Well, good thinking Pacifica, to vote down Mr. Peeble's project and then feel so smug about your accomplishment. Seems he's doing just fine without us and we aren't doing so fine economically without him. What foresight you all had.

I so enjoy our Pampas Grass forest with endangered Coyotes and feral cats roaming about. Quite breathtaking. Much better than a new downtown with a top hotel mucking it all up. Good riddance. Thanks Peter, you're a visionary!
We owe a great debt of gratitude to the NOBY's, NIMBY's, faux-enviros and the "I got mines".
Thanks to them we have a huge piece of property right on the coast where dogs can run free and shit every where. If it wasn't for them we would have been cursed with a huge flow of tax dollars into Pacifica's coffers and enough discretionary funds to fix streets and build affordable housing.
The worst part is that they haven't learned from their stupidity.
Some of the things they called him during his stay here were horrible. They tried to tie him to organized crime, called him "an out of town builder"!. Of course he was, we love our local builders but I'm not sure any of them at that time were capable of a billion dollar project.
We are truly the poorer for what was orchestrated by the opposition.
Pacifica: Cutting off the nose, to spite the face. Since 1979.
Can we put the re-zoning back on the ballot or is a completely lost cause?
Peebles is gone. Even after the vote they were still negotiating in good faith with our city attorney, Cecelia Quick, the city manager, and 2 council members to try to come up with a plan B. The two council members and Quick thought they had them over a barrel and kept demanding more and more concessions and $$. At some point nothing penciled out and they walked. So this city lost out twice.
The council "negotiators" were Lancelle and Vreeland.
Two of the finest minds and paragons of ethics Pacifica has ever squeezed out.
Vreeland's gone but now we have Deirdre.
So in the present world, in identical settings, we would have had Deirdre and Keaner sitting at the negotiating table. What could go wrong. Just thinking about what we had in the palm of our hands makes me cry.
Oh, and he was going to fix the intersection as well. Part of the plan. We truly are a pathetic little small-minded backward stop on the highway.
Actually Pacifica is being held hostage by a small group of very evil selfish people.
Loeb, Lancelle, Verby, Kaufman, Keener, Digre, Battallio and others are the reason our town is going down.
Who owns the quarry now ?
Paul Huele.
Then we need to bring him back to his old project if he may. I believe that the mentality in Pacifica has changed last few months or so. We may have a chance to win @ the next election.
We should not loose hope.
He had made a bid for the Beach Blvd site the last time proposals were being accepted, and I'd like to see him given a chance to do something with that.
"Yosemite Sam" Casitas on Pedro Point is rally up the Pedro Point Chapter of the "gang of no"
The flat parcel is Pedro Point is up for sale again.
The wise bunch at City selected Friend Development over Peebles for the Waste Water Treatment site. It's back up for bids.
The group that was all-in for rent control and affordable housing should be pushing to help make dense housing happen on the Pedro Point site.
They won’t, of course, because they’re hypocritical NIMBIES who are against everything.
Casillas was very vocal about rent control. Anyone want to take any bets as to his attitude towards construction of affordable housing in his neighborhood?
Prediction: We’ll get the tired old “I totally support affordable housing, but this just isn’t the right project for the site.”
