I do understand your sentiment, and I&#039;m all for seeing the back of Governor Moonbeam and his band of meddling marionettes.  But, I draw the line at getting rid of the beautiful, historic old State Capitol Building.  Have you ever been there?  My favorite place is the Senate Chamber.  There, above the Speaker&#039;s Chair, is the Senate Motto in big gold letters, in Latin.  It says: &quot;Senatoris est civitatis libertatem tueri&quot;, which, loosely translated without losing any of its luster means &quot;It is the duty of a Senator to protect the Liberty of the People.&quot;  My idea of how to deal with the illiterate members of the legislature and occupant of the Governor&#039;s Office is to make them all sit down there and memorize the motto, and require them to listen to my three-day lecture on the Founders&#039; view of Liberty, and pass a test by answering all the questions correctly before they are allowed to leave the room. If they try to fall asleep while I am talking, an attendant will come by with a prod to wake them up.  Lecture to be repeated as often as necessary until they all pass the test.  Well, I can dream, can&#039;t I?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Comrades

Same old.....tax someone or tax breaks for someone are the only solutions to a economic nightmare.....the demand for housing is from the hoardes of  poor, calculating, seething and budding anarchists of Visigoths, Huns, Thurlingens, Franks and Amerolites.....

Plutocrats and Publicans will never un-Nimby......diversity flowers only  during Turkey Week passing out Ralph&#039;s hard rolls and three year old defrosted turkey down at the gritty Missions.....they feel so good about all that love and high fives....

This article sucks and is Fake News.....]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Well, gee.  I don&#039;t know about you, but came to California in 1953.  I know how beautiful it used to be before the advent of Redevelopment and Federal Housing programs.  I also have long experience dealing with city officials, elected and otherwise, who do not seem to be able to connect the dots between Cause and Effect.  I hope I am unloading a lot of guilt on them, they have destroyed our charming cities, our charming countryside, our charming hillsides, our waterways, our very well-being with their development-at-any-cost mentality.  The drought is not officially over and they are still yapping about building high-density housing to stimulate some sort of utopian urban-core development, mega-warehouses to stimulate economic activity and jobs, commuter-trains to stimulate a shift from personal transportation to public, and so forth.  In other states, new development is small-scale and user-friendly.  California does not have to be ugly to be ready for the 21st century.  I have no patience with this nonsense about the price of progress being the well-being of the people who live here.  If it is ugly, it isn&#039;t progress.  And, in my humble opinion, ugly is an absolute value, like beauty.  Progress is not the most important thing in the world.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://calwatchdog.com/2017/02/06/california-scrambles-pick-housing-pace/#comment-127001&quot;&gt;Stnding Fast&lt;/a&gt;.

I strongly agree that moderating new construction until the current infrastructure is amended makes sense. 

The problem with 20/20 hindsight is we all know (now) of the many ways urban development and city planning should have been done. Unless you&#039;re going to demo everything and start over, then complaining about how we&#039;ve ruined the state doesn&#039;t really help matters. We need realistic solutions, minus the guilt.

I also strongly favor a law that any new houses &#038; businesses built in certain areas of California (like Sacramento) must include solar panels on the roof; we&#039;ve got sun for 10+ hours in most areas of the valley, the &#039;city of trees&#039; notwithstanding; let&#039;s utilize that blazin&#039; sunshine to what extent we can.]]></description>
