March 18, 2010 – Daily Brief

Valencia’s main export is people leaving to go somewhere that doesn’t suck balls! HAHA!

NotaFerry Fan Video: Now I HAVE seen everything!

“Build them and they will come” may not apply for several years.

OLPH expansion project approved on 5-0 vote. Arcadia street residents will soon have no way in or out and will essentially be imprisoned in their homes by the Roman Catholics. Kudos to the Planning Commission. They know that once our G&L owned city council approved the medical office buildings without a guarantee of a hospital expansion, that raised the bar for other developers in SCV. Now the G&L office building project is the new standard by which all other developments are approved. So if you don’t like the OLPH project, put the blame where it belongs with a dirty city council and a dirty city staff that allowed G&L to do anything they want. The residents in Valencia fought for their quality of life and property values and our city council told them to shove their complaints where the sun don’t shine. Now no one in SCV is safe from monstrous projects and Ken Pulskamp can walk away from this city when he retires carrying a magnificent portfolio that proves he can get a city council to approve monstrous projects even in the middle of residential areas. Cry all you want, but all projects go right back to G&L’s approval.

“TimBen Boydston may be the first City Council candidate in Santa Clarita to buy a Facebook ad. A reader tells me that if you look at Marsha McLean’s page, you may see an Elect TBB ad on the right side” Booyah!

And the Casden project is next. Once the at-grade crossing is approved in Newhall, that will turn the Casden project into a transit oriented project which means Paul Brotzman will have no trouble getting approval for the project because current California environmental laws can be ignored for transit oriented projects. Which means any opposition to Casden based on current laws protecting Newhall Creek will become invalid, and environmental laws preventing building in floodways will also become invalid. That is why the city pushed for that library right where it is, so Brotzman can get his at-grade crossing for Casden, which makes that project a transit oriented project. And guess who is on board with Casden Properties, that would be Hunt Braly, once again hard at work with Ken Pulskamp and Paul Brotzman, destroying another portion of this city with a high-density project sure to ruin an entire community. Placerita Canyon’s special standards district code won’t mean a thing for Placerita Canyon. All it takes is a vote of 3 Council members to approve a special standard code, and all it takes to get the code pulled is another majority vote. Since Frank Ferry and Laurie Ender are nothing more than Pulskamp-Brotzman puppets, it won’t take much to get Marsha to vote right along with them. If it even gets that far. Once the project attains transit oriented status, that special standaed code won’t be worth the paper it is written on.

Re: Mayor Dude and Frank Ferry. Here is what the Daily News had to say about Mayor Dude/Frank Ferry. Pay particular attention to Mr. Ferry’s own comment. While some cities have mayors who are mild-mannered, paper-pushing bureaucrats, Santa Clarita has Frank Ferry, aka Mayor Dude, who rides a skateboard, is addicted to Twitter and jams on an electric guitar.Jerry Berrios in the Daily News. “In the United States, there are thousands of mayors. But in the city of Santa Clarita, there is only one Mayor Dude,” said Ferry, 43. “For the youths of the community, they will take a dude any day over a talking-head, stuffed shirt.” http://www.insidesocal.com/politics/2009/03/mayor-dude-all-a-twitter.html
