re: #480 Love-Child of Cassandra and Sisyphus

We have a couple of county ballot thingys.

One is to approve this: newlandco.com

I’m going to vote no. It’s just a way to encroach on Mt. Palomar and the area around it.

Current plan is for 99 houses, and the submitted changes raises that to two thousand or so.

I’m with the low-cost housing activists on this one. Building more suburbs that require long-distance commuting is just silly at this point.

I’m split on this. I think most people would prefer a single family home, if they could afford one. It’s one of the reasons so many are willing to deal with long ass commutes. Maybe the answer is to flip the equation on its head and instead look to build commercial office space in suburban areas and allow businesses to form satellite offices. I know, for example, there are a lot of law firms in southern California that have LA offices and Orange County offices.
