One Year Ago - General Plan Update

The following three part series of clips captures the presentation to the City Council just under one year ago this week.  Despite the last several months of a great mixture of scapegoating, exaggerations, study sessions, propaganda, neighborhood organizing, straw man arguments, research and fear mongering; Encinitas is still filled with thousands upon thousands of people who have no idea of this momentous task.  Anyone who pretends it is a simple task is lying.  This is always a huge task, like when this city was incorporated over 25 years ago.  But, now the paradigms have shifted with radically different ecology and economy realities and projections for our futures.

These clips (edited to approximately 10 minutes each) are provided for an idea within easy reach of the Encinitas General Plan Elements as presented last year.






We are now going through what should have been review and revision process, but now is called starting over - with a volunteer facilitator and with a majority council picked group heavily invested in real estate, development and commercial special interests.
