Jerry Falwell has been dead for a couple years now. What an evil, hateful person he was.

It's proposed to be called Party Pharm at 666 S. Coast Hwy 101. I can hear Jerry Falwell complaining about the address now.

Where is that medical marijuana store going ot be? The City could make a lot of money by having one and taxiing it to death. And, the best part is, it would be pure.

2009-07-08T21:55:53.815-07:00

Stalinesque cement. Not quite what I would call "smart growth" more like "developer rape." Ugly and overpriced, with a barren dirt patch as a "view" soon to be developed into another tenament.

Sounds good, though maybe not for the Whole Foods crowd.

Or someplaces more yuppified that sells botox, facelifts, tummy tucks, lasix, electrolosis, diet plans, lyposuction, dental implants or medical marijuana - like the Reader ads.
"Jon was clinically depressed, so his doctor recommended medical marijuana!" It's all about feeling good about ourselves, isn't it? In sort of a Baywatch way.

2009-07-08T16:21:56.239-07:00

Are you serious? Arby's and Dunkin Doughnut with Whole Foods??? The management needs to decide on a target demographic for synergy - leading to more sales. I don't see people buy expensive food at Whole Foods stopping by for some Arby's or a Doughnut.

They need some high priced clothes, coffee (maybe Peet's), or shoes.

We need another Starbucks and McDonalds or what about a mini-Wallmart!

Arby's, Dunkin' Donuts and a 99cent store?! Quality!
Count me in for shopping!

2009-07-08T14:49:21.361-07:00

It won't be 3 stories in the El Camino Real corridor. It will be 4-7 stories. The city has already admitted this. This is called medium height.

And rumors are that Moonlight Lofts is going into bankruptcy. Will Pacific Station follow after completion?

I know Arby's and Dunkin Doughnut have signed.
I am not sure about the 99 Cent Store.

2009-07-08T07:46:13.951-07:00

Funny comments about living near co-workers. Though I suppose you could site employment centers near transit as well.

And, there's no way you can equate the suburban homes by Barrat in Leucadia and the Quail Gardens project with smart growth. Those are both just regular growth as we know it based around the car.

Pacific Station is smart growth though I agree with another post that bulk is an issue in these projects as well.

And, as for water meters and no more growth; shouldn't we be looking at how we use our existing water supply? Encinitas grew last year at 1.1%, that's nothing. We're not growing, we're filling in. How we do this is critical. Why are we watering lawns that nobody uses and not recycling our water?

2009-07-08T07:03:46.070-07:00

How are those smart growth Barrat America half built homes and new ghetto land selling up in Leucadia? Or How are those David Myers lots with the Kmart retaining walls selling off of Quail Gardens.....

Yeah, "smart growth" is needed just about as much as cancer growth. No Thanks.

Smart Growth should be a movement to remove the incumbents like Dan Dalager from office for his years of bad decisions. Adopt Term limits!

2009-07-08T06:27:27.328-07:00

San Diego County and specifically north county have way to many people for our available water and healthy open space for native critters.

The only smart growth is for people to leave the area. Any more dwellings and water meters just makes the condition worse.

Never vote for an incumbent, the career politicians are ruining America.

2009-07-07T21:58:17.930-07:00

Smart Growth urban infill is pointless because all of our open spaces have already by been developed by sprawl. The concept was high density surrounded by open spaces. Too late for that now.

They can have their Whole Foods store, but why not add some sizzle to the name. Maybe call it "Community Market" or something.

2009-07-07T20:30:37.101-07:00

I doubt Pacific Station will not bring the kind of returns to the investors as promised, and I'm not sure it will be a great think for downtown. The artists renderings make the building look cheap, but time will tell.

Whole Foods aka Whole Lotta Dough...won't shop there for staples even if they carried them.

I'm reserving judgement on Pacific Station. It seems too big for Old Encinitas, but Whole Foods has me excited!
