If we believe a candidate will be good for the improvement of Costa Mesa, we'll tell you why we feel that way. This is not an endorsement.
And, if we believe a candidate will be bad for the improvement of Costa Mesa, we'll also tell you that.

MISANDRISTS ON PARADE
Have you noticed that most of the haters who constantly whine and hen peck about Mayor Righeimer and Mayor Pro Tem Mensinger and Councilmember Monahan are women with a few wussy men mixed in?These same people have no problem with women on the council.
Frankly, I think many of these women and the BFF wussy men who hang out with them hate men and the whole idea of men and manliness.
The technical word for such manhaters is "misandrist."
The male misandrists among the misandristic women seem to lack a proper amount of testosterone and may have too much estrogen. I think one of them doesn't even have to shave.
The misandrist women will deny that they hate men and they'll point to some wussy man who is their husband or friend to prove that they really don't hate men, but don't buy it. The way misandry often manifests itself is in expressions of hatred about normal male characteristics which the misandrists pervert and twist to mean something negative.
For example, the misandrists constantly say that Mayor Righeimer is rude, or that he doesn't listen, or that he ignores them, or that he is arrogant, or that he is a bully.
Most normal men who have observed the mayor might scratch their heads at such negative characterizations of the mayor, because we see him as being efficient and professional and doing his job in the way a man should do the job of mayor. We don't see any rudeness, we see him listening, we don't see him ignoring anyone, and we don't see the arrogance or bullying.
But the man haters--the female and the wussy male misandrists--call a man acting like a man all these negative terms. These people are neurotic and are overly emotional psychological wrecks who wear their emotions on their sleeves and who seem to look for opportunities to be insulted. They just don't like men. They wish men were more like women and talked about their emotions all the time. These man haters and their wussy male pals don't want a mayor. They want a therapist, a best girlfriend, a hairdresser, a shoulder to cry on, a mommy who will just listen and who will commiserate with them.

WE TRY AGAIN TO EXPLAIN TO KNOW NOTHINGS WHAT IS GOING ON IN COSTA MESA AS FAR AS DEVELOPMENT GOES AND WHY IT IS HELPING IMPROVE COSTA MESA
Many of the haters constantly rail against the new homes being built in Costa Mesa
and few of these people have any understanding of real estate, retail shopping centers, demographics or how to shape a city.
Here, again, is a very brief primer.
1. People make a city what it is.
2. Not all people are the same.
3. The important factors that make people different are called demographics.
4. Major retail chains live and die on demographic reports.
5. Demographic reports can be as long as 30 or so pages, but most are no more 5 pages.
6. The Demographic reports are usually constructed around 1 mile, 2 mile, 3 mile and 5 mile rings on a map. The center of these rings is usually a specific address or intersection of streets in a city.
7. The people in those 1, 2, 3 and 5 mile rings are described and quantified in the Demographic reports. Thus, if you read such a report you'll know how many people of different races/ethnicities live in the rings. You'll also learn the age ranges of the people, their education levels, their individual and family income levels and how many males and females there are in the rings and what their ages are. And, there is much more information depending on how complete and long the report is and what you have asked for in the report.
8. If you run a company with a chain of stores or restaurants and you want to expand (and they all do) you know from your internal figures which of your stores or restaurants are doing well and which are not (called high performing or low performing in the biz). With this in mind, you look at the demographics around the high performing and under performing stores or restaurants in your chain.
Are the high performing stores or restaurants all located in areas with certain demographics such as race/ethnicity, income levels, education levels, gender, education levels, etc.? Are the low performing stores also in areas where certain demographic factors just pop out at you? With this information you are now ready to think about opening new stores or restaurants.
9. The next thing you do is try to find locations around the country that have demographics that are very close to those around your high performing stores or restaurants. At the same time, you avoid those areas that have demographics similar to those around your underperforming stores or restaurants.
This brings us to Costa Mesa...
Back in the late '90's, the Improvers looked at the demographics of the Westside. We found demographics that would not attract quality retailers. The area could only attract underfunded stores, liquor stores, second hand stores, charities, pawn shops and similar businesses that exist in areas with low income demographics.
Why weren't upwardly mobile people moving to the Westside--the part of Costa Mesa that is closest to the ocean? Well, there were many reasons and not all of them could be addressed directly for reasons I need not go into here. However, some things could be addressed and this involved encouraging small lot home developers to build homes on the Westside.
In order to sweeten the pot for them and make the risk worth taking (and it was a risk) we offered some concessions in density and other factors. If we had held them to our usual standards, none of them would take the risk; simply because with all their on-site and off-site expenses in buying land, razing what was on the land and building just a few homes, they may not have been able to make a profit. So, we had to let them build more homes on a lot than usual and we had to let them build taller, and to do various other things that made building homes on the Westside (with its gangs, etc.) make sense to them.
The thinking then, and now, is that if you build new homes with modern amenities similar to what you would find in, say, Newport Beach or Irvine, that you could sell them for less than what you would have to sell them for in Newport or Irvine (because of the concessions) and still attract people who had high incomes.
And, once you brought in people with higher incomes, the demographic reports would start shooting up and this would get the attention of the major national retail and restaurant companies and they would suddenly find the Westside an attractive place to do business.
Then, as the major quality retailers competed to be in an area that was quickly improving, even more upwardly mobile people would find the area attractive and move there.
And, that's exactly what is happening on the Westside (and city wide) and this is thanks to the Righeimer Council which dusted off the long ignored Westside Plans (which are really city wide plans, shhhhh, don't tell anyone).
This is how Costa Mesa is improving. Now, our schools are still lagging and many upwardly mobile people (you know that is a PC euphemism), still refuse to send their kids to schools in Costa Mesa, but in time that will change as the demographics change for the better.

HAVE YOU STOPPED BEATING YOUR WIFE QUESTION ON YOUR SAMPLE BALLOT
Check your sample ballot booklet page -007 Measure P. Two questions are asked. How do you answer?
We wonder if the same person in city hall who let this get on the ballot, was also the same person who let the first charter die because no one checked to see if the paperwork was in on time.
We repeat: We think a few incompetents have been hired in city hall, and instead of just letting them go, others are then hired to take up the slack. But, it's not working. Incompetents in the system remain incompetents in the system.

ISRAEL REFUSES OBAMA'S REQUEST TO SEND ISRAELI MEDICAL PERSONNEL TO EBOLA COUNTRIES
Israel values the lives of its citizens and doesn't want to put them in a situation where their safety cannot be guaranteed and where they may get infected and carry the disease back to Israel to infect more people.
Now, why isn't the U.S. doing the same thing? Why are we sending thousands of our young military personnel to the Ebola nations? These young military people know much less about disease transmission and how to avoid it than trained medical personnel.
