EDITORS AT ALMOST DAILY DAILY PILOT DON'T GET IT--UNABLE TO THINK ABSTRACT THOUGHTS; HELPING MAKE COSTA MESA A NEW SKID ROW
The almost daily Daily Pilot has another lefty editorial HERE and says that Costa Mesa has a "growing" homeless problem so the City Council should take HUD money to give to the homeless.
Yes, the Pilot actually said we have a "growing" homeless problem. So, at least the Pilot got one thing right.
We do have a growing homeless problem. But, the reason is not because we're not giving out freebies. In fact, the opposite is true.
The reality is that all living things seek comfort.
This means that all living things will gravitate to where they are comfortable. Feed pigeons in a park and in no time at all you'll have more pigeons than you can count, and their numbers will grow so long as you keep feeding them.
Stop feeding them and the pigeons will move away to where they can make a better living and find that comfort they seek.
If Costa Mesa is going to improve, the City is going to have to start acting more like cities that are considered by objective standards to be great places to live.
If we keep trying to be like skid row, we're going to succeed.
Yes, times are tough. We all know that. But, in tough times, people need to make adjustments to their lives.
If some illegal aliens can't afford to live in Costa Mesa, then they should move back to Mexico or even to Santa Ana. Living is much cheaper in both of those places.
At the last City Council meeting, and in support of taking the HUD money, lefty Katrina Foley mumbled that "they" have their children in our schools and "they" live in our neighborhoods, etc. Now, who do you suppose "they"are? Right.
Illegal aliens will get our tax money to be subsidized to stay in Costa Mesa if the City Council takes this HUD money. And, any legal citizens who get some of the money will also be subsidized to live where they probably can't afford to live right now. It's time to move to where living is cheaper.
It's time to take personal responsibility and not expect the government to give out freebies. Remember, too, the government doesn't have any money. The money it gives out is from us.
When this issue comes up for a vote at the September 15, City Council meeting we wouldn't be surprised if moving to the left Gary Monahan and long time lefty Katrina Foley have blond, blue-eyed citizens planted in the audience who will say that they need the money.
There won't be a suspected illegal alien in sight...not at the meeting. But, they'll be there when the money is handed out, if this passes.

Read the letter from Perry and Pam Valentine HERE.
Perry Valentine? Say, could that be the same Perry Valentine who used to work for the City of Costa Mesa and who tried to get on the Planning Commission (but failed to get appointed)?
Well, whether or not it's the same guy, the Perry Valentine who wrote the letter apparently didn't like our suggestion to thin out the slums in this city and put in pocket parks, and he doesn't mind folks from other cities coming here, as though they're visiting a Third World village, to hand out freebies to the poor natives huddled in their shanties in the middle of a garbage dump.
So, can we understand from this that this guy is happy with the slums and the fact that it's not Costa Mesa citizens going to Corona del Mar to hand out freebies to poor suspected illegal aliens there?
In fact, have you ever heard of Costa Mesa citizens going to any part of Newport Beach to give free pancakes to the homeless people, or free this and free that to all the people in need (read, suspected illegal aliens)? Of course you haven't. People in the Newport Beach government work hard to keep their city one of the nicest places in the world for the citizens who live there. Citizens? Remember them?
By the way, the Perry Valentine who used to work for the City of Costa Mesa doesn't live near the slums of Costa Mesa. He lives in College Park. That's also where former City Councilperson Linda Dixon lives.
Actually, Perry and Pam--say, can we call you PP?--thank you for your kind offer, but we spent lots of time in Beverly Hills. It's too far from the ocean for our tastes. Would it be too much to ask to have you change your fund a little to build us a new place on Costa Mesa's Westside Bluffs? Nothing too fancy. Just a nice sized loft with ocean views would be fine.Maybe something like the Venice lofts in the picture above. We understand they have some pretty competent people in the development end of things at City Hall now, so we think we can get the above lofts approved without too much trouble. Oh, we'd like a corner loft, if it's not too much to ask.
Thanks much.
