What school these adults are enrolled in is irrelevant and clouds the issue of personal responsibility with trespassing and building a fire in a no fire zone, with a red flag warning imposed.

If not an affordable house project for the servants of the wealthy who drive from Ventura/Oxnard, then a Channel Islands National Park Viewing area, complete with Latte’s and SUV parking.

On The End of Caruso’s Miramar?

Posted on August 4 at 8:22 a.m.

"a chance at a better life" for those at Fernalds. Now I've heard everything.

If flood waters cause damage inbetween both of those creeks, it will be the tax payers who will pay. Do the E.I.R. and move on.

On Miramar Opponents Claim Montecito Association Failing Its Mandate

Posted on July 17 at 1:15 p.m.

So seriously, there is good reason Schrager and Warner sold out this project. It’s the reason why we are at where we are now in this point in time. It’s the problems with resources. Whether it’s the sights historical drainage problems and the potential for worse flooding with this proposal, or water usage and allotments. These things need to get worked out before anything is built.

If Caruso’s project get built due to the current PR campaign of entitlement, then flooding happens in the future, the public tax payer’s money get pulled out to fix the issues. That’s Immoral, and is one tactic used in resent times. The use of eyesore, run down, blight that slights the process. As building sights become scarcer, and with the trend of dwindling open space and denser projects, we have to look at these projects with more scrutiny and greater vision.

On Miramar Hotel Emails Raise Questions

My dad bought the house my family and I live in for $24,500 in 1964.
I've seen both Schrager and Warner bail from the project and leave us with an eyesore.
I was initially skeptical of the Rick Caruso because he's rich, handsome, from Los Angeles and wears tailored suits. After spending a fair bit of time with him and seeing how what kind of person he is, I fully support him and personally like him even though he don't surf.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Look at the mess the out of town developers have made. Bacara is the best example. Excess, elitism, consumption and exclusion are the signs held up at the check point. Caruso can still grease the palms in L.A., but he’s not on the team here yet. Warner’s got a first down and going long. What Caruso’s got to do is find the judge who helped side step CEQA at the Coral Casino, then the environmental rules, established for all of us (a bunch of spoiled crybabies) can be massaged to fit the needed outcome.

Time and time again, whether in the City or County, environmental safeguards put in place have been ignored or misrepresented at government level. What are the consequences if an EIR is done? Why sidestep the remaining process if clarity and transparency are the desired out come? Losing Schrager and Warner might best be seen as opportunities for a land use project that fits the neighborhood, sustaining resources consumption to a minimum not maximum.

Knowingly, once a out of town project developer like Caruso gets the green light, the long arm to exclude public access goes up, letting in only those worthy of the $500. / Night minimum user fee. What we have in place at the moment is signs of Carbajal with his hand in the cookie jar. By in large, good reporting by the Independent has helped us locals stay informed. They say “follow the money”. Our Planners who were fired, or who quit knew enough to keep this a democracy, how about the next tear up? Anyone with good vision knows that above the ground floor it’s all about not rocking the boat, legacy, or big fat pensions in the circle game. The hypocrites need to come down to earth.
