My biggest peeve about living in California is that so much effort seems to be going toward turning the entire state into Santa Barbara (i.e., a lovely, upscale, characterless place that no one can afford to start a life in).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9045235436087182302.post-41910058697077393142007-08-18T11:58:00.000-07:002007-08-18T11:58:00.000-07:00Screw those Oakies and their happy motoring ways!T...Screw those Oakies and their happy motoring ways!<BR/><BR/>Tell some of those old white bastards that this isn't their country anymore, and that you are just waiting for them to die - they freak out!<BR/><BR/>Hilarity ensues.<BR/><BR/>I like to mutter something about how people from the midwest should be deported, or have to apply for visas to come to California - they get apoplectic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9045235436087182302.post-67007132551283580832007-08-08T00:35:00.000-07:002007-08-08T00:35:00.000-07:00Look at it this way, the GHP will be dead far soon...Look at it this way, the GHP will be dead far sooner than we will my young militant padawanThe Hollywood Jedihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00801585906026965198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9045235436087182302.post-61257181022454803402007-08-07T22:59:00.000-07:002007-08-07T22:59:00.000-07:00Don't be distracted by the GHP, the builders have ...Don't be distracted by the GHP, the builders have some big bucks and try to donate money to local groups.<BR/><BR/>It is like a monopoly because huge projects require giant contractors. Probably Hollywood has many contractors with completed projects under their belts. Some contractors because they are private companies reveal little of themselves and have good relationships with architects.<BR/><BR/>The GHP are probably very good in support for NiMBYism but in order to have an efficient mass density for good public transportation you need larger housing (denser)facilities.philpalmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06043731914110351061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9045235436087182302.post-65922583199616960962007-08-07T19:26:00.000-07:002007-08-07T19:26:00.000-07:00P.

I suspect, as you said, many of these folks either don't have children/grandchildren or are such wretched cranks their offspring want little or nothing to do w/ them. So they sit there w/ too much time on their hands, whining about the brownish people (& don't think they use terms as polite as that) who are ruining this great country, etc. In other words, they have no conception of what's going on, just an idealized '50s/early '60s fantasy of how things are. A friend of mine lives in The Oaks (next to Ferndell in Los Feliz) & one of the neighbors is fond of stating: "If only people had more respect for property, everything would be so much better." That, unfortunately, sums it up: Property (& its owners) over people.M.

However, for every one awesome senior, there are hundreds of GHP members who ruin community meetings with their archaic, self-involved diatribes on city planning.
