The dirty tricks of North River Farms
Also, not mentioned was that this horror of a development has been reviewed over several years and iterations by the Planning Commission and Planning Department staff and was **rejected by each of them three times!** It **violates our General Plan and our Climate Action Plan** on several counts (e.g., requirements for "smart growth" and preserving agricultural land specifically in S. Morro Hills). Also, public comments ran about 2:1 against it at every hearing. This is a bad development in the wrong place, pushed on us by a bully of a developer who uses unethical tactics and money to get their way. They obviously stand to make 10's or 100's of millions of $, or else they wouldn't be willing to spend so much fighting us. And yet three of our City Councilpeople went along with this developer... Does anyone else smell corruption?— February 6, 2020 4:11 p.m.
The dirty tricks of North River Farms
Just to be clear, the person talking to the police in one photo and the guy to the right in the next photo were **NOT** signature gatherers for our Referendum petition. They were **"blockers" that were hired by the developer** to disrupt our signature gathering and harass us. The one talking to the police came up to me and spent several minutes just yelling nonsense at me, and then took off. He came again a day or two later and again got in my face, made false statements, and harassed me. I never saw him with a petition -- he seemed to be brought in only to intimidate and harass. Note the brochures in the hand of the guy on the right in the final photo -- those were the North River "Farms" propaganda pieces they were handing out against our petition effort.— February 5, 2020 7:51 a.m.
