Hey Schwarzenegger, how is it that an overweight politician, whose life is politics, is acting like he doesn't care if he gets elected again so long as he does the right thing, while you--known for being a buff, manly man, whose life is not politics--are acting like such a wimp?

SOUTH COAST COLLECTION
LINK
As you may know (and if you don't, just follow the above link), the South Coast Home Furnishing Center along the 405 near Harbor has changed its name and concept to South Coast Collection.
Back when the South Coast Home Furnishing Center was proposed, the CM PRESS noted that the center was woefully underparked.
We also felt that a furnishing center at that location, as proposed, was likely to fail. And, we further noted that the "furniture" stores didn't even have large loading dock areas as one might expect in such a center.
So, with the above in mind, the CM PRESS went to the City Council meeting when this item came up and we told the Council that the concept didn't make sense and that it seemed to us that what was being done was to get the Council to approve a furnishing center--which requires less parking than other retail uses--and then, when that concept failed (which we believed was fairly certain), the developer or subsequent owners would come back to the City and say the concept had to be changed in order to survive and bring in tax revenues to Costa Mesa.
At that point, the Council would be likely to allow the concept to change--but with no requirements that the parking be brought up to a proper level for the new uses.
And, that's what has happened.
Mark our words, there are going to be major parking headaches all around the South Coast Collection, and in some way or another (CMPD overtime for parking problems, for example) this is going to cost the citizens of Costa Mesa.
Can we please elect some members to the City Council who can think at least a couple of moves ahead of what ever happens to be right in front of them at the moment? Is that too much to ask?
Hey, wait a minute.
Furniture? Like a table? Say, did we mention that table in Latin is MENSA?
