DUMBEST STATEMENT FROM SOMEONE FROM THE FIFTH FLOOR OF CITY HALL IN OUR MEMORY
In the above linked Daily Pilot article about the possibility of Costa Mesa annexing a piece of land on the border with Newport Beach, Asst. CEO Rick Francis is quoted as saying:
"'The fact is, they already have a Costa Mesa ZIP code. And we don't expect there to be any change to their property values'" whether the area is annexed by Costa Mesa or Newport."
NONSENSE!
Most, if not all, of the intelligent people who live there would much rather have a Newport Beach address than a Costa Mesa address, and one of the reasons is because Newport is seen as an upscale city. This alone increases property values. There is much more prestige in saying you live in Newport Beach than saying you live in Costa Mesa.
However, the CM PRESS would like to see that area be incorporated into our city, because the people who live there are exactly the type of demographic we need to help keep Costa Mesa from looking like a slum city on demographic reports. We don't want to lose upwardly mobile, productive citizens to Newport Beach.
Get ready for a PR campaign from some of those who want the area to be incorporated into Newport Beach. They'll try to avoid talk of gangs in Costa Mesa, and illegal aliens and slums and they'll say things about really loving Costa Mesa and, golly, it has nothing to do with our large illegal alien population and Latino gangs, and slums and the charities up the ying yang, but, golly, Newport is, ah, better at, er, ah, trying to keep John Wayne Airport small, yes, that's it. "Why, we truly love Costa Mesa, but that darn airport is near us and, gosh, we'll just have to try to be annexed by Newport. It really bothers us to have to leave Costa Mesa, but, well, you know, that airport thing is a big deal."

Well, of course there isn't. Rid yourself of the stupid notion that all humans are the same in brains and various abilities. That's not the way nature works.

The rancher (who has 14 kids--yeah!) says his family has been ranching this area for more than a hundred years. Now, the comply-or-die feds are threatening him and have snipers around this guy's ranch.
Another Ruby Ridge or Waco in the making? Let's hope not.
