"The stridency of the neighbors is just a political position. They are assuming that the more extreme their opening position, the more close to their desire will be the final compromise."
---sevendolphins

The stridency of the advocates is just a political position. They ae assuming that the more extreme their opening position, the more close to their desire will be the final compromise.

See how that works, sevendolphins? See how easy - and utterly useless - it is to impugn the motives of those you disagree with?

Now, can we get back to an honest discussion?

On Elings Park Expansion Shot Down

"...Elings is a community resource..."
--East Beach

If so, then why is Elings seeking a rezone to "regional" park?

C'mon, Hank, "expansion" can more than geographical growth. The idea to put on events with a thousand people once a month is an "expansion" by any reasonable definition of the word.

sbgradstudent says, "Having visited there, I can say that the neighboring properties are hardly even visible as they are substantially masked by the thick tree cover, which also dampens the noise."

As a VISITOR, how does sbgradstudent quantify "...hardly even visible..."? And, no matter the answer, how does (s)he know that is sufficient to mitigate visual impacts.

Similarly, how does (s)he know how much the noise is dampened? And how much dampening is sufficient? And how does this dampening change over the seasons?

Sigh, the critical thinking skills of grad students are not apparently what they used to be.

See, here is an example of why I won't vote for Cushman. He asserts that "...40 percent of the ballots should have been turned in already." Huh? This is the first all mail ballot that SB has had so there is NO data to base this assertion on. It is pure handwaving by Cushman. Since I don't want a handwaver for mayor, I'll find someone else.

On Nice Try, but No Cigar

I am always amused by phrases such as this, "first annual Ojai Half Marathon." "First" means it has not happened before so how can it be "annual"? I suspect hubris.

On Ojai Valley Inn and Spa

citti is right. Is it not blatantly obvious that a JAPANESE tea house is NOT native to SB?

On Teahouse’s Roji on Mend

Posted on September 30 at 2:21 a.m.

OMG!! Look out. A two-foot wave will attack SB.

Geez, Indy, having trouble providing some context here?

On Tsunami Advisory in Effect

Riiiight. They're meeting at the Bacara Resort & Spa to get costs under control. I guess Motel 6 was booked.
