Poly House contractor battling with De Vaul

May 1, 2012

Dan De Vaul

By KAREN VELIE

Poly House’s plans to build an 8,000 square-foot residential sober living home on the Sunny Acres property this quarter have been abandoned because of arguments between Dan De Vaul and a contractor working with Poly House. The disputes centered around building code requirements and scrap metal.

After years of battling over code requirements, De Vaul, community members, public officials and a group of students began working together to makeover Sunny Acres, a sober living facility located north of San Luis Obispo on Los Osos Valley Road. Poly House planned to clean up the property, correct a list of code violations and finish the construction of a structure to house the homeless.

In March, a court-appointed receiver took over the reins at the ranch while De Vaul voiced concerns that the cost of a receiver would result in the loss of his property.

Since then, San Luis Obispo County Supervisor Bruce Gibson, attorney Jeff Stulberg, Cal Poly instructor Roya Javadpour and 80 Cal Poly students began collaborating to bring the property into code compliance, remove the receivership and build the 8,000 square-foot facility for the homeless.

However, because of delays created by De Vaul’s plans to manage the cleanup, Steve Chauvet, Poly House’s supervising/consulting contractor for the past seven years, said there was no longer time to get permits to build the house. Discussions then began to determine if Poly House should completely back out or agree to a new plan. On its website, Poly House now says its current plans are limited to laying the foundation, without building the house.

Each spring, as part of a project management course, instructors, outside contractors and students do a remodeling project to help improve the life of a physically disabled and financially disadvantaged family or individual.

At first, the De Vaul project went as planned, with students and community volunteers hauling away more than 50 tons of trash, chopped wood, old vehicles and numerous other items. Students had additional plans to sell the rest of the property’s scrap metal for $100,000, to be used to help pay construction expenses.

On April 21, volunteers and students arrived at De Vaul’s property planning to clean up the metal scrap, only to be ordered not to move any items because De Vaul wanted to inspect all scrap before it was disposed of.

Chauvet said that De Vaul has failed to follow through on his agreement with Poly House and the county to allow the students to clean up the property and correct violations.

“He had his dream at his fingertips,” Chauvet said.  “His junk became more important than the people he says he is trying to help.”

De Vaul argues that Poly House workers already fixed the code violations previously discovered by the county and they should not report or remedy newly discovered violations.

In addition, De Vaul decided he was no longer going to allow the metal scraps to be sold to help cover the cost of the house. Instead, he now plans to sell the scrap himself and to use any monies received to cover his legal expenses, which he said currently run $27,000 for the receiver and $125,000 to county council.

“Why in the hell should I have to turn over my scrap to Poly kids,” De Vaul said. “It ain’t going to happen with my money. Why should Poly be stopped from building this house because of scrap metal on this property?”

De Vaul contends there is a conspiracy by the county to stop the project.

“The county since the inception of this program has tried to knock it in the head,” De Vaul said. “I will go ahead and make the conspiracy theory statement.

“The county is using the people from the Poly House. They are being led down the wrong path  because they are kids and they respect government. The county won’t blame Cal Poly and Cal Poly won’t blame the county, so who gets the black eye,” De Vaul said.

However, both Chauvet  and San Luis Obispo County Supervisor Bruce Gibson said the county has made many concessions to assist De Vaul in providing a sober living facility for the homeless and that the county is not promoting the termination of plans to build the sober living house this quarter.

“The county is not trying to stop the Poly House Project and remains hopeful that Poly House can help correct many of the long standing code violations,” Gibson said in an email.

Water piping serving as a gas line

Chauvet said Sunday that Poly House was still planning to work on several code violations they uncovered while working on the project, including two non-permitted septic tanks, an illegal 700-foot gas line made out of water pipe and the rigging of a permitted one-breaker electrical panel into a six-breaker panel.

However, Chauvet, an  International Conference of Building Officials certified building and plumbing inspector, said when he arrived on the property on Monday to fill one of the septic tanks with cement, De Vaul became angry, cursed at him and tried to stop the work.

Chauvet reported the altercation and failure to abide by the court order (which he videotaped) to the court, the county planning department, the trustee and the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Department. Deputies are investigating the issue as a violation of Penal Code 415, an offensive altercation punishable by 90 days in county jail.

“I was glad it was me and not the contractor or the students,” Chauvet said. “I am the one that worked to get everyone involved in this.”

Wow.. You all need to watch that video. Mr. Chauvet you are a rude, antagonistic person with an agenda. It is CLEAR that what Mr. Duval is saying is correct, because Chauvet is quite obviously out to get him and did not try to approach the situation correctly AT ALL.

Have some of you forgotten what happened in San Bruno when a gas line exploded? Do you not understand how a faulty septic system pollutes all of the ground water used by everyone.? Have you never been responsible for the safety of the public? Why would Mr. Duval expect a contractor to just fix what the County already found and ignore blatant dangers and code violations?


This whole place needs a responsible, functioning adult in charge. Don’t be blinded by the “good works” that come at everyone else’s expense. Check into the people who have lived there and be honest about whether you would welcome them to your neighborhood. Use all of that wonderful compassion to help the homeless children in our county.

Stop stop, you are making too much sense! I wouldn’t have a problem with a sober living facility in my neighborhood as long as it was being run by pros that know what they’re doing as opposed to some old slum lord trying to get inexpensive employees that are being paid below min wage or working for free housing multiple sex offenders that are also living in dangerous conditions. I could deal with that. Most sober living facilities are not like DeVaul place.

The San Bruno gas line was operating at 1600 times residential service pressure and 2000 times the pipe size or 3.2 million times the amount of gas. Not seeing a good analogy here. PVC was used for very low pressure gas line underground. It is now polyethylene and quite a bit tougher, but still plastic pipe.

He’s got a hoarding problem like many of the original ranchers.

Evolve Dan, yesterday’s gone Let those old bulldosers become new bridges and things.

I have to share this story-it is just too funny!


So the city puts up a nice sign talking about the greenbelt in this nice little rolling meadow-like setting, & Dan promptly dumps about 1000 cubic yards of soil to make a flat area next to it. THEN he fill up the space with old cars, machinery, metal scraps-you name it. The Greenbelt Sign was still there! Someone please post a picture of how it was like 5-6 years ago!


Right about that time, he gets an old white/rusty school bus. He either cuts off the top, or it was dumped there like that. Think Patridge Family Bus that went under a low bridge, and stayed there for 20 years!


Dan takes a crane & set the bus ontop of about 15 foot high pile of fire wood. It kind of leans to one side off the pile-but looks as though it was balanced enough to stay there. And it did for a while.


Then October comes & he is selling pumpkins. To compete with Avila Barn’s hayrides, he offers to do the same- in the bus-around his place.


Can you imagine? A ride in the country. Which country? Lots of them!


The piles of imported concrete piles could be Beiruit in the 80’s, the burned up tents & other structures could be Dresden Germany, and the old-obsolete farm machinery could be the US during the depression. Make sure to look for indentured servents kids!


To my horror, I saw a man and a little boy riding in it one day, Captain Dan driving. I mean, did you need to have a tetanus shot recently to get a ride? And what are the chances of having a black widow spider under your seat? 75%? 99%? It was a rusty old bus that sat on a wood pile, would you let your kid ride in it?

I am headed out of town asap. I had already had plans to be gone but this soon and not in this way or for this long.


I was sent a email from someone that is close to Sunny Acres warning me that something was going on. It goes right along with what the I was officially about warned me by the Court Officer on Monday.

You can read more in my blog at Help us Help Them Help US. It was not created for this Crap. It is the only way I know to get the honest info out and be safe.

This is so crazy. I sent an email the president of Cal Poly outlining in detail the failure of Cal Poly to act when they were warned serveral times. Only when I told some “official spokesman” I was going “public” did they start to say they acted as soon as they heard of the safety concerns.

“B S”

I just watched the 15 minute video. My impression was that Dan was remarkably calm in spite of being continually provoked. In my opinion the constant repeating of Dan’s full name was both disrespectful and was baiting a response. It was like watching a child poking and prodding an older sibling trying to get a reaction.


Was it the construction supervisor’s job to confront Dan with the illegal/un-permitted violations? My guess is that was code enforcement and the receivers job, not the volunteer supervisor.


It is common knowledge that Sunny Acres is brimming with code enforcement violations. Why did the volunteer feel it necessary to take it upon himself to confront Dan with them by itemizing each one? The task at hand was the septic tank and not the other violations.


I don’t know any of the parties, and only know what I’ve read online. I’m just disappointed that though perhaps with good intentions, the contracting supervisor has unnecessarily derailed the project.


Granted the septic systems were not properly permitted, thus illegal. If they were functioning properly though, I would think there would be a process to test their efficiency, pay the fees, and get them permitted.


What I saw in the video was very different from what I expected to see based on the commentary.

I wish that I could see it. When I tried to watch it, it said that an ‘error had occurred’ and it won’t play for me.


Do you know DD, did you ever live out there?

I don’t know / have never met Dan or anyone else related to Sunny Acres. I’ve just driven by occasionally and only know what I have read online or what has been in the news the last several years.

littlewren hit the nail on head 100%. Those were my exact observations, in fact, I was so disgusted between what Chauvet said and what I saw that Chauvet has now lost all credibility with me. In fact I won’t stop short of saying that he acted like a complete “power freak” and trouble maker with no good intentions what so ever but rather with a HIDDEN AGENDA.


0

Thanks for posting that. I get what you’re saying, he does seem to be confrontational with DD. On the other hand I don’t know what transpired previous to this video, did something set the contractor off? I believe that the contractor was POed because of the whole Poly House thing and I don’t blame him. It’s hard to take it when you offer a gift to someone and then they slap you in the face with that gift, I can understand why the contractor was frustrated. I’m sorta glad that he asked the questions that he did and said the things that he said, I wish that DD would have responded. I’m glad that he confronted DeVaul about charging those homeless people and the substandard living conditions.


Dan has put a lot of people through the ringer. Dan doesn’t put up with any bull so he needs someone to be the same way with him. But as I said, the video does appear to show DeVaul being confronted perhaps he was over confrontational. But it still doesn’t change my mind. Dan was wrong before and he’s wrong now. Whether this contractor was right or wrong, the place wasn’t safe and the county is correct to do what they are doing.

I began to watch the video and shut it off. I watched to the point where Steve began to bait DeVaul for obviously no reason, mentioning everything he knows. He was at that point provoking DeVaul with his insinuations mentioning that he knows what DeVaul charges for the “mud huts”, he knows the guy who helped install the illegal gas line and blah blah blah. My first thought was that Steve claims he turned on the video because DeVaul skidded up in his truck and Steve was afraid of violence. Year right, the only behavior I saw that was looking to get things started in an altercation was Steve.


Frankly, working with a guy like Steve sounds like someones worst nightmare if they are in the situation that DeVaul is in. Poly House knew or should have known all about the violations when they took the job. Then Steve claims all innocence stating that he doesn’t read or watch TV !


Give me a break, Steve had an attitude before DeVaul ever showed up that morning and like I said. the existence of the many code violations were no secret prior to taking on that project. So why did they take it on? No wonder DeVaul doesn’t trust them.


0

Steve – I read your blog. It is not surprising at all that in a mere 30 days you have discovered what many, many others have also. Dan is a grifter and a sycophant. He doesn’t mean well. He isn’t rough around the edges with a heart of gold. He is a narcissist who will do anything to anyone in order for him to 1) stay relevant, and 2) get his way.


He surrounds himself with enablers (take a good look at the string of co-dependent girlfriends he has gone through). And as soon as someone comes in to take charge, his only goal is to take out their knees. You are one of many, and are in very good company. Be well and kudos to you for trying.

Watch the video, south, and see what is really going on. Du Vaul acted totally appropriately and Chauvet is not the victim he claims to be.


0

How does watching a 15 minute video change anything I have said? Poly House is supposed to help the poor and those who deserve their help. How does DD need help? At one time he had 70 people there paying on average $300/ month. Do the math.


He is a slumloard, and if you have a dog, a loved pet. Ask yourself if you would allow it to live at that place. Seriously.


0

Sometimes you take what opportunities life has to offer. Local government wants to shut this all down, but not provide any alternative. Personally, if I was down on my luck, I would be happy to find a place where I could pay $300 a month and work some of it off, I don’t care how rundown and dangerous it was. What is more dangerous and will likely bring more problems, sleeping in a dump that’s not up to code, or sleeping under a bridge?


0

No, they don’t work it off, they work on top of the rent. $300.00 is minimum rent some pay more. Three residents could rent a 3 bedroom apartment or house for $900.00 a month and not have to live in substandard and dangerous conditions while working for nothing or next to nothing.


0

Wow that is so unrealistic. First of all, There are few, if any 3 bedroom apts or houses in SLO for $900 a month. Secondly, that’s a $600 difference, which is pretty substantial. But let’s say they were just going to try to find a room for $300 (good luck!)… how easy is it going to be to find someone who will let them be a roommate? Then of course there’s the minor issue of deposit and first/last month rent, oh and of course credit check.


I really think that a lot of people have no idea how difficult it is to get back on one’s feet once you have reached that point. Apparently plenty of people thought Du Vaul’s offer was fair, because no one forced them to be out there.


0

what do you mean? If there are 3 people that are paying $300 a month in rent that pooled their money that would make it $900.00. They don’t have to live in SLO, there are plenty of places in south county and north county where one can rent a pretty decent place for that. I was talking about 3 people not one. There are also govt. agencies that would help them to get into a place, our business has done work for such an agency.


On a side note, it’s funny how you mention how hard it is to get back on your feet when down and out and yet the right expected Obama to get the entire country back on it’s feet in two years. Just saying,,


Yes some of them thought it was fair. Have you read any of the letters from some of these people. Many of them aren’t very well educated, they don’t know that they can get help and it’s a lot easier to just flop down at DeVaul’s slum. But not all of them think that DeVaul was fair.


0

Mkaney – You are mixing issues. Don’t bring in the unfortunates who live there with DeVaul. He is perfectly able to bring the property into code. it will not be expensive. The problems at the property are not the people living there. Please observe this simple fact: The County has never taken any action against DD for operating an unpermitted care facility. The issues are a junk and scrap yard, hazardous living conditions such as a three story dormitory built out of scrap metal and used lumber. Drop cords running across open fields providing power from overloaded circuits and of course, contaminated wells.


Now we also find that he has a gas line that has been untested and is a few inches under the ground and made of PVC pipe. You will recall the gas fire in the Bay Area recently?


I ask you again, would you allow Dan to house your dog?


0

Good post, thanks.

Put the old pack rat in jail. The government IS out to get him and it SHOULD. That place is like a cavity right in the front of San Luis Obispo’s smile and his defenders are toothless dopes as well. All that good will and hard work wasted.


0

A PVC pipe being used as a gas pipe? You’ve got to be kidding. His post was the first I heard what some of the code violations were. If true, I don’t really care to hear any more whining from Mr. De Vaul.


0

Easy now. Where did you see PVC being used as water pipe? The photo here shows galvanized metal pipe being used.


0

The construction supervisor for Poly House Mr. Chauvet posted the following in this thread:

“I have seen the PVC yard pipe gas line running over 700 feet and also to his apartment”.


Perhaps it was both galvanized (also wrong) in some areas and PVC in others . It sounds like it was really jerry rigged.


0

Galvanized pipe being used as a gas pipe. You should only use black steel or other special gas pipe.


0

Like…Galvanized gas pipe. Put black pipe outside, see how that works for ya.

Listen to all the gasps from people who did not know what was going on at SA!


The most ironic thing about Dan, is that you hear him complaining about “gubment” all the time, and then his actions explain why we need “gubment”. As a long time renting neighbor, I have seen:


Burning un sold green X-Mass trees from the SA roadside stand on a non-burn day ( I could smell the smoke while at Food Less).


A SA Resident soliciting other homes for work as Dan ” Only pays $5/hour” This was a few years ago but minimum wage was higher. The guy was worried he would not have enough money for $300 rent.


People employed there using totally unsafe machinery. He had a log spliiter that was on a large horizontal beam. Two guys would lift & balance large rounds on the beam. Then Dan would activate the ram by placing a long stick on a lever. When the ram made contact with round, the two guys would back away & log would split & fall off either side of beam. Then, Dan would pull a long string tied to something located behind his back to back the ram off.


Workers spraying something on/around vegatables grown for sale without protection equiptment.-Round-Up?


I won’t list all the land use ventures. You wont belive me.


IMO-He is NOT the person that should be in charge of housing people. Maybe not even animals.


15+ years ago, his dog kept showing up on Foothill Ave at night, dodging cars. I wrote notes to him & duct-taped them to the dog collar-letting him know. When the dog finally did get hit. I called him & told him to come as the dog was alive, but in bad shape. The dog bled out before he showed up. His comment to me? Some rehersed line like ” Ever since they built this road, my women drive away and my dogs get hit.”

I used to throw his TT paper and he never paid the bill so I cut him off and 3 months later he requested the paper again….I refused to throw it unless he paid in advance….needless to say….he never received the paper from me!

Understand the circumstances I will no longer feel sorry for Mr. De Vaul and I have been a strong defender and supporter. This is plain insanity! To bad Christine will finally get her view and dog park because of this man’s inability to cope with society…

Hold on a second, I have rethought this since my initial post and I’m starting to see both sides here.


There was never any mention of selling off any of DeVauls assets when this project got started. DeVaul states that he owes County Council $125K plus the receiver another $27K to date. He has no means of paying those fees apart from the proceeds to be realized for the liquidation of that asset. If he can pay off 100K through the sale of the scrap metal, its very possible that the balance of the fees could be adjusted. It isn’t right for the Poly House to decide to sell off such a valuable asset and retain the proceeds if it wasn’t part of the deal to begin with and it wasn’t.


Like wise, I’m reading that Chauvet is making a big deal over DeVaul objecting to the destruction of a septic tank (value probably 35-40K). Chauvet has stated that the septic tank was a code violation because DeVaul didn’t have a permit on file for it but I haven’t read that it wasn’t properly functioning or that the leach field wasn’t perking or any reason why such a valuable item would have been destroyed rather than Chauvet simply seeking an approval and a permit for it. Chauvet has not given any clear indication for that destructive action while elucidating on other matters in his scathing rant regarding DeVaul and Sunny Acres.


It appears that Chauvet has been instrumental in assisting other needy individuals through Poly House and he is to be commended, however; I was taken aback after reading his emotionally charged rant (post) here on this thread as his posturing stuck me as highly defensive, inappropriate, unprofessional and even sophomoric at times. I wasn’t impressed with the U-Tube video he mentioned (Sun Rising on Sunny Acres) either, there is no Sunny Acres addressed in it, I don’t what he thought he was accomplishing with it.


I think there are two sides to all this and Chauvet doesn’t like being questioned about his decisions.


0

” septic tank (value probably 35-40K).”


How do you know this? He had years of homeless people out there doing this work either for or with him. How do you know that this wasn’t just a big hole with a few bricks cemented in that hole. I might be wrong but I would imagine that this is a homemade job like the electricity, the gas, the size of the windows, what on earth would make one wonder that this thing cost that much or was up to code. This is what a few of us (not many) have been saying for a long long time. This is why we need laws. ‘Please tell me the difference between DD and a slum lord? My biggest fear when discussing this topic has always been fear of a fire from those buildings, especially the big dorm building. The county is doing the right thing, laws/codes are necessary because of people like DD.


“I think there are two sides to all this and Chauvet doesn’t like being questioned about his decisions.”


LOL, ROTFLMAO Haa hee, whooo this is just so ironic, but I digress. Once again Cindy you are throwing out claims that there could be very simple and logical explanations for. It’s hopeless, if you can find a way to blame them then you will twist any story into a rant about how bad any given local govt. entity might be. It’s comical.


0

Honestly, I really shouldn’t bother answering you but I’ll give it a try and see if you can muster up some deductive reasoning or at least relate to how some analytical individuals apply it. But first, I would like to comment on your last paragraph.


“It’s hopeless, if you can find a way to blame them then you will twist any story into a rant about how bad any given local govt. entity might be. It’s comical.”


Really? I guess you conveniently forgot about my initial reaction to this story. 5/1/12 @ 10:59AM, it’s the first post on the story. Please go and refresh your memory.


Now onto the deductive reasoning. I drew my conclusions about the septic tank and reconsidered my position after reading Mr Chauvet’s post. He opened with the septic tank item as I would expect considering that he thought DeVaul’s attempts to stop him from pouring concrete into the tank was so serious and “offensive” (cursing) that “Chauvet reported the altercation and failure to abide by the court order (which he videotaped) to the court, the county planning department, the trustee and the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Department.”!!


Now let’s take a close look at his post: “This septic tank was discovered and was illegal. It was filled as required by the code” OK, I got that and as I read on I am beginning to notice a plaguing inconsistency with Mr Chauvet’s code violation statements, are you noticing anything? Probably not………


“I have seen the 220 volt electric lines only 5 inches underground in yard drain pipe”.

“I have seen the wire in the Stucco barn that was burnt from being installed unsafely”.

“I have seen the windows on the second story that were so smalll a child could not fit through them to get out in a fire.”

“There were NO smoke dectectors” –

“I have seen the PVC yard pipe gas line running over 700 feet and also to his apartment”.


Typo, are you catching on yet? While all these violations, just like the septic tank are illegal, Chauvet has told us exactly what it is that makes them illegal.


If there was something wrong with that septic tank, he would have told us all about the nasty jury rigging, the fake leach field, the 2 foot high cinder block tank (funny) the solids flowing over the divider, oh yes, he would have told us. THAT IS WHY I KNOW that it was nothing more than a permit (that is if I hadn’t already known it anyway). In fact I really didn’t have to take you through all this, I could have just pointed to the article itself: “Chauvet said Sunday that Poly House was still planning to work on several code violations they uncovered while working on the project, including two non-permitted septic tanks” .


This has become personal with Chauvet and I believe it’s because ; “Chauvet, an International Conference of Building Officials certified building and plumbing inspector, said when he arrived on the property on Monday to fill one of the septic tanks with cement, De Vaul became angry, cursed at him and tried to stop the work.


This is why I said Chauvet doesn’t like being questioned. He should have just ordered an inspection and got the permit in my opinion and apparently the land owner agrees or rather I agree with him. Septic Tanks cost lots of $$. After reading Chauvet’s post here, I wasn’t impressed.


0

Have you ever priced a septic tank? It appears you have your decimal in the wrong place.


An illegally installed/unpermitted septic system cannot be permitted after the fact unless dug up and proven to have been installed properly. At that point, you are basically doing a new installation anyway. Filling the thing is an economical way to “bring it to code” — i.e. disable it. If he wants a septic, he should then get a permit and do it right this time.


Anyone informed about Duvaul has known for years he’s unstable and entirely responsible for his own problems. If you still don’t see that, well … There are people who think the earth is flat, too.

This is all so very interesting. You see I came to the Sunny Acres site on that Monday because I was asked by the Contractor that bid the $1 to the court for the repair of the code violations. I introduced the contractor To the Polyhouse professor. I encouraged the professor to do the Sunny acres project. I met with Dan for over 4 hours early on in the selection process. Based on our chat I thought he was being honest and seemed like we could work with him.


See I do not have a TV nor do I read the papers. I never read any of the articles from this news site.


When I was called on Mon to fill in for the contractor because the truck was running late and he had a meeting to go to. I simply agreed to help him out.


When Dan showed and skided in to the parking area I thought this is not going to be good. I turned on my phone video camera because I feared he was going to get violent.


His attorney made some interesting comments about does the county really need to know about the PVC gas line while he was there reminding Dan of the court ordered filling of the tank. This was NOT my choice nor did I have anything to do with reporting the tank issue to the court.


He also said Dan could be helpful when other digging might be going on and he knows where other things might be underground.


I took that information to the Presidents office at Cal Poly on Mon early am. I showed the 2 men from Risk Managment the PVC gas lines and some of the video I have of other violations.


I told them the students were at risk while on site and that the parents would be livid if they knew Cal Poly knew and did nothing to protect them. I have been involved in YMCA camps and outdoor education camps for many years. I was the safety officer for one of the largest outdoor education companies in America.


I have 2 children and I have spent many years working with protecting children while they were entrusted to other while away from “home”.

I have nothing to gain in any of this nor do I have any interest but to protect the students at this site.


I have warned the upper managment at Cal Poly this site has unknown hazzards in the ground and was told by Dan’s attorney Dan could be helpful when other digging was being done. This is NOT A GAME! This is not just “US angainst THEM” this is our children being put at risk being on this site.


Shame on the Professor for KNOWINGLY and WILFULLY allowing the students back on site with unknown underground hazzards. I am asking for a formal investigation into the entire matter.


Call me anything you want. Say I am this or that I don’t care. I have known a child that died because someone thought it DIDN’T MATTER if the code was followed or if it was safe. I know there are two parents out there that lost a child and will never see her face again.


SHAME ON DAN, THE PROFESSOR AND CAL POLY FOR ALLOWING POLITICS TO DICTATE THE SAFETY OF STUDENTS OR WORSE YET SOMEONE ELSES CHILDREN THAT TRUST CAL POLY TO HAVE SOME LEVEL OF CONCERN FOR SAFETY.


This is going to rock Cal Poly and make the Sunny Acres issue even a bigger problem for our community. Heads are going to roll over these wilful violations and failure to protect the students of Polyhouse.


I have video tape, pictures, text messages, and emails proving all that I speak the truth.

WHO wants to see them?

Hold the phone, I thought that the Poly kids were pulled off of the site? So is Poly House out there?

There’s always a certain segment of society who act like idiots and then attempt to justify / hide behind “property rights”. An absurdity. We’ll see how strongly he feels about property rights when the landlord at his next address insists on minimum standards.


0

There sure seems to be a lot of information that is not making it out into the public arena; If the property is in receivership, wouldn’t that mean that everything on the property would be under the direction of the appointed receiver? I can understand how Dan would want to be able to afford to pay the bills that have been racked up against his property, but how many more times does he get to shoot himself in the foot and still have any public support? I’m sure that the Cal Poly team would do an absolutely bang-up job of getting done what they have the time to do, IF they have the cooperation of both DeVaul and the receiver. I hate the phrase because it is so “simpleton” sounding, but damn it man, “git ‘er done”.
