OBAMA CHEAPENS CITIZENSHIP

A TALE OF TWO CITIES--SANTA AND AND COSTA MESA
While Santa Ana continues moving to revitalize run down neighborhoods by using eminent domain, Costa Mesa continues with its free-market approach to the Westside. LINK

Costa Mesa's approach is right for our city (if done right), given the fact that the Westside is ocean close. This makes the present industrial land much more valuable for homes. However, the City Council has to understand that "free-market" doesn't mean that the local government should do nothing to prime the pump of change.

Indeed, the Council and the municipal government should be actively reaching out to small lot developers and coming up with creative incentives to get them to open their wallets in this down economy and take the risk of putting in some lofts and homes on the bluffs.

Of course, the Council and staff will tell you that they are reaching out. However, as far as we can
tell, their reaching out is anemic and not at all robust.
