We've seen comments recently from some of the usual lefties who claim that moves to improve Costa Mesa will result in our city becoming as sterile as Irvine.
We don't think so, and that's not something that we, or any of the Improvers who we know, want or support.
What most of us do want is to improve parts of the city that are chasing away upwardly mobile people. To do this, we need to encourage changes in our downscale areas that will make them more attractive (but not sterile), that will lower crime, that will increase the student scores in the schools and which will make them magnets for upwardly mobile people.
In some cases, this means thinning out the functionally obsolete apartment buildings that are serving as safe havens for criminals. We support doing this by having the city buying up some of these buildings on the open market--one here and one there--and replacing them with much needed parking or pocket parks.
We're 100% opposed to the Irvinization of Costa Mesa, but we're also 100% opposed to the Santa Anaization of our city. The reality is that if we don't work to improve the city, we're going to continue on a downward spiral which is what happens if you don't put forth effort.
It takes no effort to let a city become a slum city. All you have to do is do nothing.

HOW FALSE IDEAS LEAD TO PROGRAMS THAT DON'T WORK
The major false
idea afoot in our present Dark Age is that all human groups (aka races or
subspecies of humans) are the same.
Because so many
people have internalized this false idea to the point that they are unable, in
their own minds, to even question this false idea, they come up with all sorts
of excuses and rationales for human differences that never involve the real
reason: genetic differences.
The fact is that
different human races are as different from each other as are different breeds
of dogs different from each other and as
different varieties of apples are different from each
other.
With the above in
mind, HERE'S another
of the many columns that constantly pop up in the DAILY PILOT about
the "failing schools" in the NMUSD.
Note that the
schools are not failing in Newport Beach. Not a single one is failing.
Yet, eleven schools in Costa Mesa are failing. Same district, different town.
Must be those sea breezes in Newport that makes the difference, right?
Or, maybe the NMUSD has sneakily put the best teachers in the best school
buildings with the best books in Newport.
As soon as such
articles appear, the usual characters come up with all the expected PC
false rationales to explain the differences between the schools in the
two cities.
The one thing they
usually don't mention is that most of the students in the Newport schools are
White and most of the students in the Costa Mesa schools are Mexican- Hispanic.
And, this is the real reason that Newport has no failing schools and Costa Mesa
has eleven.
Now, human
differences have to be seen with statistics rather than being based on
individuals. This is so, because there are individuals in every
race/ethnicity who don't fit into the statistical pattern. We should all
know this, but those who refuse to recognize the statistical differences will
point to, say, a White guy who can jump and play basketball as
"proof" that it just takes proper training or better coaching to be a
good basketball player. Of course, they're wrong. That good White player
is outside the usual statistics for Whites.
Be sure to read
the letters following the DAILY PILOT column to see the nonsense from those who
claim that the problem in Costa Mesa is the teachers or the administrators.
This is stupid. The problem is the students. It's a
demographic problem, and Costa Mesa's schools are not going to get better
student scores until the City of Costa Mesa starts attracting more upwardly
mobile young White familes back to the city.
The truth is that
the White students in Costa Mesa do as well or as poorly as the White
students in Newport Beach and everywhere else in the country. Why is
that? Because that's the way nature has made them.
And, Mexican-Hispanic students in Costa Mesa are on a par with Mexican-Hispanic students
across the nation. Black students in Costa Mesa are on a par with Black
students across the nation. Asian students in Costa Mesa are on a par
with Asian students across the nation.
Nature doesn't conform to PC human ideas.
