06/15 I watched the Del Mar Council meeting on TV last night, and what I heard was not quiet approvals, but emphatic disapproval of a proposed Form Based Code. ... more>>
06/13 ... [with reference to the FBC presentation to the Council on June 14] not only do I believe there should be a vote prior to any such CC action but that vote should PRECEDE any expensive EIR by the City. ... more>>

I’ve got a weed in a plastic bag with a red ribbon around my neck. It’s a beautiful Del Mar morning: shimmering inlets of water, a pair of mallards flying overhead and in the distance the cliffs of Torrey Pines State Reserve outlined against the Pacific.
