Measure T, the so called Encinitas Housing Element Update on the November Ballot, in my opinion, is a ticking time bomb that must be exposed before it explodes and destroys our city. It is an unnecessary nightmare about to happen. There is absolutely nothing in “T” that enhances our community or reinforces the wishes of the people. It is all about power, greed and money. Those that study the issue and read between the lines soon find this to be true.
Unfortunately, the Encinitas City Council caved in to city staff and special interests and endorsed this irresponsible plan. Now it is up to the citizenry to fight back if we want to ensure a bright future for of our communities, our City and our wonderful quality of life.
I dare to speculate that less than 1% of the electorate who enter the polls on November 8th will have read all of Measure T or understand its many ramifications, so it is up us who really care to come together, seek the truth and educate others about the dangers lurking inside this 288 page demolition devise.
