You guys are
deluded if you think urban sprawl will ever stop by wishing it would stop. To support my statement, I'll direct you to take a good look at who has put ALL of our local elected officials in office, fat cat developers or those who make money off development.
Go to this government website:
http://nf4.netfile.com/pub2/Default.aspxType in the name of any candidate, look through the candidates disclosures to see where their money is coming from.
Fargo, Tretheway, McCarty, Dickenson et al... all talk a good game on being anti-urban sprawl, yet look at their voting records, none of them have met an urban sprawl project they didn't approve of. They all need to be thrown out of office just for being lying sacks of crap.
Did any of you know that Fargo, Tretheway, McCarty and Dickinson are also working on a plan to annex all the land up to the Sutter County border into the city limits of Sacramento so their plan for Gotham can be fulfilled. (all on public record) They are planning on sharing the spoils of this annexation, they call it "revenue sharing." well I call them dirty rotten scumbags for destroying my city for their fat cat developer buddies and paving over the most fertile farm land in the world.
Oh and you want affordable housing downtown? Well you wont get it with Fargo, Tretheway McCarty et al...they apparently allowed developers to swap low income housing credits in their downtown luxury lofts, and concentrate those low income units into Natomas. Gee I wonder why Natomas is now the crime capitol of Sac.
Now that the City has bungled it's way into a financial crisis through spending like drunken sailors, they need more revenue. Well guess what needing more revenue means? More urban sprawl and strip malls to bring in more taxes.
Fargo's and Tretheway's
sustainable and green economy: spend = need for revenue = need to develop and build = need for public infrastructure = spend = need for revenue = need to develop and build = need for public infrastructure = spend = and on and on and on and on. They must have learned this on their taxpayer supported trip around the world.
I think it is HILARIOUS that the
Greenies support these sacks of shi@t. Apparently the
Greenies are like the Borg, they all share one mind and one cause...and they cant tell when they are being deceived. I especially liked the
FargObama stickers going around..lol are you people schizophrenic? Seriously Fargo and Obama?
Why do you numb nuts voters ignore reality, gobble up what they say during their campaigns and continue to vote these lying scumbags back into office?
There is only one way to stop urban sprawl in Sacramento. And I may be so inclined to get it on the ballot if the voters don't get off their asses and throw these scumbags out. It's called a Charter Amendment folks.
It's being done in Redwood City See:
http://www.redwoodcityopenspace.org/OpenSpaceVote-CharterAmdt.pdfThe Citizens of Sacramento are lucky, we are a Charter City. That affords us a Charter that is like our own Constitution. But like our American Constitution, the People don't use the powers afforded to them to the extent they can.
I will be watching the next election, and if the City does not get their SH#T together rather soon, they may be looking at a Charter amendment and a Charter Convention which will tie up their crooked little hands.
That being said, Sacramento needs development in the right places and with the right designs. Our local economy has basically no other source of income other than government workers. Sustainable transit oriented growth is the answer, and don't be confused, Fargo et al... have been using these buzzwords for years while wrapping themselves in green manure...yet they approved everything that has happened, and want to annex more land up north. They need to pay the price for their lies at the polls.
