NEWPORT TO ANNEX SANTA ANA COUNTRY CLUB AND NEARBY HOMES
Last night, the Newport Beach City Council voted 6 to 1 to begin the process of annexing the Santa Ana Country Club and some nearby homes with about 1,000 residents.
This is good for the country club and the homeowners but not good for Costa Mesa, which will be losing more good upwardly mobile citizen residents and one of the last upscale magnets outside of South Coast Metro.
Here's the LINK to the OC REGISTER for all the details.
WHAT'S IT MEAN?
Costa Mesa has allowed itself to become an illegal alien sanctuary city with slums, a high crime rate, failing schools, gangs, lower than they should be home values and all the problems of an inner city. People want to flee the influence of our city which seems incapable of changing things.
Of course anyone with half a brain would prefer that his or her neighborhood be annexed to Newport Beach.
Even our present improver majority on the City Council is taking too long to bring in the necessary changes to make Costa Mesa the place to be instead of the place to flee.
Instead of worrying so much about fixing potholes--call this what it is: rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic--the Council should:
1. Work much harder to put homes on our view bluffs to attract upwardly mobile people back to Costa Mesa. If surgical eminent domain is needed, so be it. Get the job done!
2. Buy and remove slum buildings from the Westside, Mesa North and Mesa del Mar and have low income housing built in the South Coast Metro area to fulfill our state mandated requirements for low income housing.
3. Step up ICE enforcement efforts and hold the CMPD accountable for results.
4. Enact a municipal code similar to the one in Orange about soliciting work.
5. Stop funding non-profits that draw illegal aliens to this city, and break apart their over- concentration on the Westside and especially in and around Rea School on Hamilton Street.
6. Start worrying more about the quality of life of citizens and stop tilting so much to big business interests.
7. Stop listening to the anti-American haters, brown racists and assorted dimwits with small brains and big mouths and start listening to citizens who want Costa Mesa to be a first class American city, not a Third World slum.
8. If Costa Mesa's leaders can't reverse our downward slide, go hat in hand to Newport Beach's leaders and beg that Newport annex all of Costa Mesa. If that ever happened, you'd see Costa Mesa moving up so fast that it would make heads spin.
