DAY WORKERS MOBBING THE 7-11 CENTER AT BAKER AND BRISTOL (stock photo)The CM PRESSMOBILE passed the corner of Baker and Bristol at about 10 am this morning and we saw about 40 day workers standing around looking for work. In fact, the parking lot was chock full of these guys.
Many were wearing clothes normally worn by house painters, so it seems clear that they were at this center because of the Dunn-Edwards paint store that is also in the center.
The last we heard, this center is owned by a family trust of a former Newport Beach city council member.
Come on Costa Mesa City Council, get off your fat duffs and start taking action. Our present municipal codes relating to this issue are not working.
It's time to adopt more stringent rules similar to the ones recently enacted in the City of Orange.
If this center were in Orange, the owner of the center would have to apply for a CUP to run this unofficial job center in his parking lot.
This mob cheapens our neighborhood and impacts nearby shopping areas.
And, while you're cleaning up this mess, you'll be able to do the same thing for the 7-11 Center at Victoria and Placentia.
Come on Mayor Bever, you probably pass the corner of Victoria and Placentia several times a day. You must be aware of the problem.
You were elected to improve this city, not to be a life long politician and everybody's best friend.
