Interesting note about Lester's role in building a comprise with Arcata over its LCP this year: The dispute arose last month when -- after about 13 years of holding public meetings and forming working groups -- Arcata submitted its updated Local Coastal Program to the commission for approval. Commission staff returned the document to the city with hundreds of changes on issues including coastal and recreational access and wetlands and building siting. The changes Arcata agreed to address were sea…

I agree with Leonard that an incorporated Midcoast is likely to elect a slow-growth city council. one of my concerns is that it would not have the resources to defend itself from lawsuits over land use policy. The supes have used the threat of lawsuits to rationalize their decisions on Big Wave and the revised LCP. They could fight those battles if they chose. However, an incorporated Midcoast might not be strong enough to defend itself. It's another reason HMB's capitulation on Beachwood was such…

My guess is that no one in Jersey will envy our perpetual summer gloom. Which makes me happy.

We had an anonymous comment posted on this. I'm not releasing it from moderation because of our real names policy, but I will repost it under my name: Sheriff's Office investigated and believes that the lower flying helo with camera ball on the front was flying at an illegal altitude just under the cloud cover at 100-300 feet in moss beach. A tail number was not obtained and therefore a report could not be made to the FAA regarding the illegal behavior, however, it appears that it may have been a…

Most days I think it would be better than county mis-government, but I suspect a merger would be as difficult to sell in HMB as it would be on the Midcoast.
But I also agree with Carl that there are plenty of ways incorporation could go very wrong.

I know that Khan Academy's is the hot new thing right now, so it's good to hear a second opinion.
BTW, Sage (which looks pretty cool) is located at http://sagemath.org/
Sage.org is something else.

I've always loved this program. It's a real opportunity to have a big impact on a kid's first week of school. I'm sure my love of it is connected to my own memories of shopping for school supplies at the end of summer.

In my experience of reading these reports over the years, this is a very unusual week for Moonridge.

Access to SFPUC lands is definitely a long-term issue. We don't have a lot of influence with SFPUC, obviously.
I talked with Leland Yee, who's running for SF mayor, and this issue is on his radar. He brought it up proactively in the course of a conversation. But this is not an issue with a lot of traction in SF politics.

There's not a lot left to negotiate at this point. The cable co's have gotten most of the review and decision making moved to the state and federal levels.

I agree that Strawflower Village, the New Leaf shopping center (whatever it's called), North Main Street, and Shoreline Station are not downtown, but not everyone may see it that way.

Thanks for the note. I fixed the double entry.

There were 30 or 40 cars at the event. I saw at least one John Birch Society bumper sticker -- the first one I've ever seen in the wild. And I used to live in Orange County.
Seriously, any event built on these three knuckleheads must have drawn a pretty extreme crowd.

Tom, thanks for your note. We corrected the name, but it's good to know that visitors are always welcome.

Looks like there were some entries duplicated from HMB in Moss Beach. I've delete the duplicates pending a correction from the original poster.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

I'm glad to see the CEF bring in some outsiders to help decide how their substantial endowment is allocated.
This is a great opportunity for Coastsiders who want to have an impact on our schools.

Excellent point about the parallel trail.
The other thing to consider is that La Costanera has increased demand for evening parking in the area. I know that there has been a request for more parking along Hwy 1, although I don't know where that stands.
It would be a good idea for all these pieces to be integrated into the plan.

This is an old story
Google is sending a lot of readers to this *old* story.

Those are both good questions.
You'd think that the someone would want to meet those 300 San Mateo County farmers, or wonder who they were. Also, I wouldn't think that managing the identities, mail, and applications for 300 fake members is worth $3,500 -- let alone taking the risk of embezzling.
Maybe I'm just to lazy to be a beloved civic grifter.
