  • "Soviet brutalist. Khrushchevkas.....isnt that the truth. I see these horrifying edifices and cringe. Right there up to the sidewalk. Apparently this is why people need to learn history and travel. They do not know what sets us apart from the rest of the world...the more unfortunate. That one in SLO by the Ralphs Grocery store is so hideous. I cannot imagine driving into the street areas between the "units". Storage units for humans is what it looks like. sad sad sad"

  • "why do we always hear this old refrain, "We NEED housing"...how about no. let them go live someplace else. Can we just stop already? This reminds me of corporations "30% more, year over year"....if they keep this up we are not going to look or feel like Arroyo Grande anymore. Santa Monica, coming up. These "city staff" are evil and greedy and want more for themselves. There is so much corruption in that city hall. Everyone knows this. Russom is the worst. they are all sickening and give not a care at all for Arroyo Grande being a nice place to live."

  • "How bizarre! 3 years later…mobile homes only…. A labyrinth of income and residency - as well repair spending to qualify. ..,. For damage that occurred from mudslides, or flooding and landslides…to mobile homes in mobile home parks? Here? In San Luis Obispo County? I think I’ve been to every corner of this county and I have to imagine that the individuals that qualify for this is about nil. What happens if the grant dollars aren’t claimed? 10 million ? So weird."

  • "What you’re missing isn't just noise; it's the friction of community. We need those awkward, funny, and surprising interactions to feel human. Without them, a bar is just a room where people pay to drink in a vacuum. I find the connection outside of a bar by walking my dog and interacting with neighbors and their dogs. Funny I remember the names of all the dogs cuz they are angels from heaven."

  • "Obispan I logged in to state what you stated. AB 2097 does not apply to this property. Arroyo Grande can and should enforce parking minimums to avoid impacting adjoining businesses. Developers are smarter than planners and convince planners that any old bus stop means they don't have to provide parking. The article doesn't say who is being quoted but whoever is being quoted from the City is clearly misinterpreting the law. AG City council should ask staff to explain the law. If this is what staff is telling them the council is being misinformed."

  • "Don't single out private developers, cities all the time work with developers, it currently is on steroids in Grover Beach, of course it helps if your name is Gary, Arroyo Grande took a privately donated piece of property that was supposed to be a park and gave it to a developer for a so called "affordable' housing project. I much prefer the government get out of land speculation, it often ends with the taxpayers paying and paying and paying."

  • "Hmm. Should we buy a $6M money pit? Sure, why not? The last time we defrauded property owners by telling residents we want to build a park, and instead bought a feasibility study of a plan to buy a "could be" park. It would probably work twice more. A resident on a fixed income who is currently paying $40 a year for a parkless park won't mind paying another $185 a year to buy a slum, and then another $185+ a year to make that slum into a park. A better plan would be to scam CalFire jnto buying a dilapidated fire station the same way the school district is scamming us into buying a dilapidated school that we don't need and will never use. What we really need to study is the cause of regular people going insane when elected to something. If we could fix this nearly universal problem, this nation would be far better."

  • "To the girlfriend (reporting party). Please do not continue a relationship with this man. Get a restraining order and do not let him talk you into dropping the charges or refusing to testify. You are most likely in a cycle of abuse and the only one who can stop it is you. Get psychological help, counseling/therapy, what ever it takes. I had a friend for many years who would come crying to me that her husband was abusive. One time he actually broke her arm. Three times I helped her pack up her stuff and move into my home. I did not charge her rent, and told her she could stay with me until she was able to get her place of her own. I encouraged her to get counseling and helped her contact an attorney. Each time she ended up going back to him and refused to press charges. The third time this happened she was actually seeing him and lying to me because I had told her that if she continued to see him she had to move out. I was actually afraid that he would retaliate against me because I helped her move out from their home. She went back to him and after that I was DONE!! I cut off all contact with her and blocked her number. Sad, but I could not continue that friendship with it's unhealthy drama. To any person in an abusive relationship, I say you are the only person who can get out. There is the possibility you will end up dead."

  • "We have a very irresponsible city council. Not one of the City Council members or Mayor has any common sense… Where is the water gonna come from? We’ve had good rainfall this year yet Lopez Lake is only 87% full. Are they gonna depend on State water? What about infrastructure or the school system? This happened in the nineties and we had over 3,000 students at the high school. What about the roads and traffic is nobody thinking these days??? Just because you can doesn’t mean you should let’s get rid of all five of these City Council members and our very incompetent Mayor and build a more responsible…accountable city."

  • ""Mass Voting" Claims: High-profile claims of millions of illegal votes have been repeatedly investigated by the Department of Justice, the FBI, and state election officials. To date, no evidence has been produced to support the idea of widespread or systemic non-citizen voting in the United States. Don't forget the phone call from Trump to Raffensperger in Georgia, "I just want you to find me 11,780 votes. There's the voter fraud we should all be angry about."

  • "There many power plants that were funded by grants, not free money, our money and they still charge us market value for the power. Buy and oil lease and it is simple to understand, you own the lease, you spend millions to drill or sell the lease for big bucks to someone who has money to burn. Ya, you got it, hard earned money, right! Then there is the spin cycle before you dry."
