Why won't the who the person really is won't compliment me when we agree on an issue?
The individual spends so much of his/her energy, time, and space on his/her blog attacking me, it seems when we agree on something, he/she won't even bother mentioning it.
I have written time and time again about the "public road" at Ponte Vista and how I agree with Bob that he is most probably not required to provide the road, now that he owns the property.
I agree with Bob's stance, even though it is not shared by Betsy Wiseman of the Planning Department and most of the members of R Neighborhoods Are 1.
Bob has never been, or could he be legally required to provide an access road for the folks who live on Fitness Drive if he chooses not to provide access from those three developments to any "public road" he is not required to build.
I am also in a minority position in thinking that students and parents should not have a route between Western Avenue and Mary Star of the Sea High School. Western Avenue is already crowded enough and folks already using Western Avenue are being inconvenienced only to help out the folks living in the Westmont neighborhood. I don't think that is fair and I don't even drive on Western during the times most folks are trying to get to and from all the various schools in the area.

The other blogger may be a bigot, a neo-conservative, a communist, a liberal, or anything he/she wants to be. The short story is; because of their cowardice in not revealing their true identity, we are not able to judge for ourselves how sick and demented this individual may or may not be. He/she is anonymous, in fact, and that should be our first evidence that he/she has a real problem if he/she actually reveals his/her true identity.
I suspect the other blogger has a closer connection to Bob Bisno and at least one of his many supportive groups than she/he is willing to admit.
_______________________________________________
Where is the other blogger's call for compromise lately? She/he might not like Bob's 1,950-units, but we haven't been able to read anything since her/his 1,750 or so units. Where are more mixes in numbers?
I could imagine a 1,080 compromise that would allow for 550 senior housing units, 130 town houses, and 400 condos.
I could even believe that most of the objections to Bob's plans would go away if he were to come down in his numbers to 1,200-1,300. Why won't the other blogger mention other compromises than the one she/he finally reported out on.
______________________________________________
I am also sorry the other blogger doesn't have the courage to get to know me a little better. I think if she/he did, we could get along better.
It may be because she/he has some real troubles and finds that she/he gets and ego boost attacking me.
The folks who really know me don't have the same opinion as the other blogger and their opinions are far more reliable than the other blogger's, it should seem to all who read the other's blog.
______________________________________________
As for R Neighborhoods Are 1, in my opinion, and only my opinion, it has done the job it has needed to do so far. It has provided some measure of objection to Bob's plans to attack OUR community with a development that is just too big.
If the other blogger doesn't like Bob's current proposal, wouldn't it be a good idea for her/him to join with so many others in calling for Bob to lower his numbers?
Not every single member of R Neighborhoods Are 1 want only R1 zoning to remain at Ponte Vista. Sure, there are quite a few folks who want the current zoning to remain, but there are also thousands and thousands of folks who signed the petition and demonstrated support for R Neighborhoods Are 1 just because they correctly fear what Bob is trying to bring into northwest San Pedro.
Some members of Bob's supportive groups have stated publicly that they do not like Bob's current proposal, so why should folks supporting R Neighborhoods Are 1 be any different than many of Bob's "supporters"? Really they are not.
Writing only as myself and not as a member of any group, remember, I only signed the R Neighborhoods Are 1 petition because I could not find any more compromise from the other blogger.
The other blogger only supports her/his proposal and has not even entertained anything else, as far as I know. If I am wrong about this, I am sure to read another attack from her/him in the near future.
If I am correct about this, I think folks reading all blogs should inquire from the other blogger why she/he only wants her/his proposal, and no others.
1,750-units is still too many units to put anywhere near Western Avenue now that Mary Star is open, Seaport is going lease to own, Marshall's is nearing completion, and Target is having piles driven into the ground. I haven't been able to read anywhere on the other blog any suggestion that the other blogger should consider lowering the total unit count.
___________________________________________
I'm still here. I'm still writing. I guess that because the other blogger won't reveal her/his true identity they are not strong enough to handle the criticism that may be leveled on her/him if she/he actually revealed her/his true identity. Maybe that means I am a stronger person. Maybe it doesn't mean anything. Maybe nobody really cares who the other blogger really is and we shouldn't believe anything she/he writes. It is not up to me, though. I'll leave it to the readers of the blogs.
