HMB Review waves its petard about, with predictable results

May 20, 2006
When I first moved to the coast and started my business, the Review did an article on people surviving the Dot-Com die off. I asked if they could include my address and/or phone number and was told no, it would not be fair to their advertisers. Since that issue there have been countless articles on local businesses that included phone numbers and addresses and read more like a large ad. Inaccuracies and the poorly written and often politically slanted articles have caused me to lose all interest…

Accident on Highway 1 in Moss Beach/Montara kills one, seriously injures another

There was a really bad accident in almost the exact same place just the day before. This is a dangerous area to be merging onto or off the highway. I took a couple of photos with my camera phone. http://mikecomputerguy.textamerica.com/?r=2914008 http://mikecomputerguy.textamerica.com/?r=2914139 Mike

Coastal Commission protects agriculture, but sacrifices habitat, in monster house decision

Wait a sec. These houses are being suilt on property owned by the home builders. It is their property and they should be able to do what they want on their property. I am against over development but if someone owns land why shouldn't they be able to build a large house if they want to?

Cypress Cove board attacks park funding

Once again we have people telling property owners what they can with with the land they own. I have a neighbor who bought a house next to an empty buildable lot. He is now trying to get the neighbors to block a proposed house that is to be built on the lot. In my opinion the way to block this is to buy the property yourself. If you cannot afford it then put up with it or move.
