It's KLF14. 

An important thing that is once again pointed out in the above linked article is that very small changes in genes can have major effects on the complete individual.

Genes are us.

COSTA MESA HAS LOWEST HOMEOWNERSHIP RATE OF ANY CITY IN O.C.
Link to OC REGISTER article and full list.

Costa Mesa has a homeownership rate of 39.6% vs. 60.4% renters.

Newport Beach has a homeownership rate of  54.8% vs. 42.2% renters.

Huntington Beach has a homeownership rate of  60.%% vs. 39.5% renters.

Fountain Valley has a homeownership rate of  72.2% vs. 27.8% renters.

Irvine has a homeownership rate of 50.2% vs. 49.8% renters.

Santa Ana has a homeownership rate of 47.5% vs. 52.5% renters.

What's it mean?

Costa Mesa's stats are just about opposite of what they should be. 

Our city would probably be more stable if we had 60.4% homeownership and 39.6% renters, instead of the other way around.

In other words, as a City, we should be trying to increase our homeownership stats.

The best way to do that, in our view, is to build more executive level homes on the Westside.

IRVINE IS TOUGH COMPETITION FOR COSTA MESA AS WE TRY TO GET YOUNG, UPWARDLY MOBILE FAMILIES TO LIVE HERE
Link

Irvine opens a new village with 597 homes.  When you go to the above link, note that "access to Irvine Unified School District," is featured in the article as an enticement to new home owners.

What that tells parents: "Move to this village in Irvine and your kids will get a leg up on life by being in a top rated school with other kids who are also from upwardly mobile families. This may not guarantee that your kids will be successful in life, but the best way to be successful is to be around successful people."

TIME TO INVESTIGATE THIS GUY

Below in blue is a comment from "bigdawg," one of the usual haters and bigots, that is appearing below the story linked to in the CM PRESS article below.

What's concerning about this comment is that, as far as we know, the information that "8 plain clothes officers" had to work about "4 hours of overtime each to guard their homes [threatened Councilmembers] on St. Patty's Day," was never published in the newspapers or publicly revealed.

So, it's reasonable to believe that "bigdawg" somehow has internal and confidential information from the police department.  Is he putting people at risk by revealing internal CMPD information?  It could be.

Is bigdawg one of the bad cops--part of that left wing clique within the department that works against citizens of this city?

Suppose you or your loved ones are stopped on a dark road some night in Costa Mesa by a cop.  Will that cop be bigdawg or someone like him who has some kind of emotional problem and/or political/social agenda that he's using his badge to further?

Hey Joe Serna, why don't you ask Mensinger why he didn't care that he and Righeimer forced 8 plain clothes officers to work about 4 hours of overtime each to guard their homes on St. Patty's Day? Seems appropriate due to his comments printed here. My guess is no city expense can be spared for the protection of his and Righeimer's families, but rest of the city be damned. He is the definition of a hypocrite.

PROPAGANDISTIC MEET AND GREET CALLED OFF

Link

 

Photo of A-Frame Sign on Trailer used by out of town cops

 

One would have to be a complete naif to not know that the meet and greet that the mostly out of town political police and political fire department wanted to put on at this time was a propaganda event to stick it to the City Council and the citizens of this city.

The political types also wanted to do it while getting paid by us and by using our equipment that we bought.

Naturally, Wendy Leece, who got big time support in the last election from the mostly out of town cops and out of town fire fighters, didn't like the event being called off.

If there is to be a meet and greet, then let it be conducted at City Hall and let all elected officials and employees of the City schmooze with citizens.

And, don't hold it until the City government is right sized and citizen faith and confidence in our uniformed services is restored.

The last election, in which cops drove around the city with a huge A-frame anti-Righeimer sign on a trailer, isn't being forgotten by most activist citizens.  That action and some other anti-Righeimer actions by those who are supposed to be professionals caused a major rift between citizens and the uniformed services.
