Because I know that the run down property can always be fixed up but the tracts and their impact on the feel of the community will never go away. Plus from what I have seen plenty of the tract houses are looking rundown....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12898734883654972625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-877753385801022805.post-47874038395643567612015-10-15T06:45:32.856-07:002015-10-15T06:45:32.856-07:00I was telling Grace that "Fussbudget" fi...I was telling Grace that "Fussbudget" fit me over my famed irritation over abandoned basketball hoops and cars that parked on sidewalks. It's a fun name with a pretty mild definition. <br /><br />Parts of the city are rural, but listening to Bob Cashman last night talking about the Elm St project and using terms like "eclectic" and "special character" to describe a section of town that is rundown was silly.<br /><br />I do like the rural feel of parts of the east side of the freeway, and it's not our fault that state laws have changed about septic tanks... making it difficult to build in that area.<br /> <br />Last, when I voted on the cityhood issue, it wasn't to keep the city locked in the late 20th century. It doesn't mean I want it all carved up, but listening to some residents from the podium last night, it sure seemed like we had to do it her way or we were all idiots and breaking come special covenant. <br /><br />I think our planning commissioners and council members have done a good job with the balancing act.Joseph Morabitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16685853728078949253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-877753385801022805.post-58741657738750535402015-10-15T04:00:04.688-07:002015-10-15T04:00:04.688-07:00Please excuse any typos, couldn't edit after p...Please excuse any typos, couldn't edit after posting.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12898734883654972625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-877753385801022805.post-82799371467888271532015-10-15T03:57:09.725-07:002015-10-15T03:57:09.725-07:00Fussbudget?

I seem to recall this blogger being a bit of a fussbudget by wanting the city council to do background and credit checks on candidates. And did I speak out against john tonight and not remember?. I don't think it is wrong to ask that we get a wide selection of candidates, and two people is not a lot of candidates. So while I have nothing against john(I am friends with his wife and I appreciate his work in the past) I hardly think this position needed to be filled asap. Has the planning commission had a lot of ties lately? So i appreciate council woman Swanson remembering my request that we not just settle. But Ben was right it takes a lot to step up and be subject to attacks and criticisms. I mean just see what happens when a person comments at meetings in a professional and cogent manner abouts issues and legitimate concerns ( I can't remember the last time I sang or brought up archaic and incorrect facts or even sued the city) they get called a fussbudget. I think I need a T-shirt. BTW you may roll your eyes about the rural vision but for many of us we voted for cityhood to avoid "spaghetti" tracts all over the town. Plenty of cities in California maintain a rural feel . no reason we can't do the same. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12898734883654972625noreply@blogger.com
