Underground water in Carlsbad plays tricks on developers
Carlsbad does not need another 80 condo development in the heart of the old village. Digging into the aquafir to build parking is a classic example of putting money ahead of the environment. The city needs to change its approach to growth and base it on sustainability not who can afford to destroy it. New leadership is sorely needed.— June 3, 2020 8:16 a.m.
Carlsbad on road to Manhattan Beach
It is interesting that we keep hearing about the "Housing crisis" as a reason to allow more residential development. The real crisis is that people are living on the streets. We have a n affordable housing crisis that is being completely avoided by municipalities allowing more market price development instead of requiring development to build only affordable until the shortage is erased. It will take strong leadership to reverse Carlsbad's reputation for pandering to developers of large expensive projects while squeezing the little guy with fees for small projects. Parking in lieu is equivalent to taking a bribe to allow higher density without parking. Unfortunately the current laws favor this approach and cities are fearful of lawsuits by developers who are denied their "Property rights". Bottom line is Carlsbad sold out after Mayor Lewis left office. Add photo— December 18, 2019 6:41 a.m.
