Wendy's version of property rights: STAY OFF MY BEACH!!
This is the same NewsPress that was crying that the Toro Canyon Plan was too restrictive against property owners. Back in the day when Randy Alcorn was CFO and kissing Wendo's ass to get his wordy opinions printed.. she and he were pro-growth and calling gov't workers miscreants..
that worked for awhile, then the NewsPress imploded. Alcorn almost developed a spine and criticized Wendy indirectly in his column, then Wendy unloaded him! Surprise Surprise! I almost started to respect her until her head started spinning around...
Now the NewsPress is croaking a different tune. They want to stop property owners from developing their land...
Land owners and developers are saying: out with the old and in with the new. Of course, that means the end of the old Santa Barbara downtown because previous owners didn't build out as much, even though the zoning allowed for it. The only way to halt the mega- construction is to declare the entire city an historical landmark, every building and blade of grass..then you could put some regulations on development...but could you deal with all the lawsuits that would follow?
Even with restrictions placed on development at Rancho Monte Alegre in Carp, this monster ranchette is one of the first ones erected there.It is not Governator Arnold's, but someone just as bulk minded,obviously. These ranchetes will be limited, so I'm not too mad. But this thing is right next to the recently built 3 Million gallon water tank..and the Carp Water District tried to tell us the tank was not for development purposes!
Carpinteria is lucky to have a strong agricultural history..the flowers and avocados have kept sprawl down..I'd rather see greenhouses in the hills than Las Vegas mansions...it takes activism to keep development down, not just a bunch of hysterical editorials!
