How democracy could be changing in small coastal town of Pescadero 

So a bunch of rich people can come in and tell everyone who lives locally that they are doing it all wrong!!! Just leave it alone!

Leave Pescadero alone!

How about ya can't be on the Municipal Advisory Council unless you've lived in Co for 40 yrs and anyone from LA is barred.

The idiots in county government should learn two very old lessons: 1. The county does not know best in all things. 2. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

This report is lacking insight into WHY that slick supervisor wants the change. Dig a little, reporter.

Good luck…. Corruption and Taxes are coming your way…

No politician is trustworthy, but Mueller has done some good things, whatever his role in the Pescadero flap might turn out to be. For example, he was suspicious that Caltrain wasn’t really trying to make sure everyone on their trains was paying for their ride (important because freeloaders make fares go up for honest people, and cost taxpayers money to make up the lost revenue). So instead of using tax money to hire a consultant and waiting a year for their report, he rode Caltrain himself, observed riders and conductors, and took notes. His report was a major embarrassment for Caltrain, revealing that many conductors were spending all their time on their phones instead of making sure everyone riding had paid. Direct action like this is hard to find in a politician these days.

California still has mature people that understand more government means less freedom.

Before you butcher the restaurant's name, maybe ask a local how it is pronounced.

Leave it as is.

Democracy in Liberal term… Build more “affordable” homes, bring in trash. So sad to see another small town destroyed.😢

You have had it too good for too long, hippies. Welcome to "Democracy".

Two Wolves and a Lamb Vote on What to Have For Lunch. The ancient Greeks routinely voted on people in their community to be unhumaned, just because.

That's likely the end of Pescadero as the locals ever knew it.... It ain't broke, don't try fixing it!

Ray Mueller sounds like a typical Kalifornia politician - never owned a business in his life, career politician, thinks he knows better than the citizens. Run him out of politics.

The USA is a Constitutional Republic.

Sad that these politicians don’t understand we are a constitutional republic. And you are going to vote for them.

We are a Republic!

Democracy is two Wolves and one Lamb voting on what’s for dinner 🐑

“Democracy” 😂🤡🌎

Beginning of the end for the City.

Taco gas station is the best.

And if they just tell the county no?

Why don’t they just leave them people alone. And is it really feasible to build additional units in that area?

I love Pescadero. I used to stay at Pigeon Point Lighthouse Youth Hostel. They have a hottub overlooking the ocean.

When people vote for representatives to make legislative decisions on their behalf, that is a republican form of government. When citizens gather in a town hall and everyone gets to vote on the proposed legislation, that is a democracy. When representatives are voted to speak on behalf of a group of citizens before another board in solely an advisory manner, that is closer to a soviet form of government.

Well, money is always the motivational aspect of the changes or underlying word is “progress “. Migrating people to this area or an Asian move. Occupation move this port.

"No water in your faucets. You ever tried buying a new home and you turn it on? They have restrictors in there. You want to wash your hair. You want to wash your hands. You turn on the water and it goes drip, drip. The soap, you can't get it off your hand. So you keep it running for about ten times longer. You're trying. The worst is your hair. I have this beautiful, luxuriant hair, and I put stuff on. I put it in. Lather. I like lots of lather because I like it to come out extremely dry because it seems to be slightly thicker that way. And I lather up and then you turn on this crazy shower and the thing drip, drip, and you say, 'I'm gonna be here for 45 minutes. What?' They put restrictors and they put them on in places like here where there's so much water you don't know what to do with it. You know, it's called rain. It rains a lot in certain places. But, now their idea, you know, did you see the other day? They just, I opened it up and they closed it again. I opened it, they close it, washing machines to wash your dishes. There is a problem. They don't want you to have any water. They want no water." --Donald 'I'm like a smart person' Trump

Perfection is not the California Way 😂😂😂 Move 😢

If it works, don't mess with it.

RIP Pescadero.

They aren't doing anything any ordinary resident shouldn't be doing - keep in contact with their representatives.

there will be tents and poop on the streets in no time

Good to see. America is a Republic, which is a limited democracy. Look it up and learn 😊

Trade volunteers that care about their community to power hungry politicians that have to fundraise. It sounds more like the county wants different people advising them , because their advice doesn’t align with the county politician.

we are a republic, democracy just corrupts

This is way it should be from the small area right on up.....no pay no benefits ;)

Leave them alone!

Keep the county out!!!

😮

What is Democracy?

Pescadero is ok. Lets not romanticize it too much. The artichoke soup is way over priced like everthing else there

Only money people will be able to run office

Anoint Gavin as King in 2024….flush democracy…the masses will do as they are told!

The old guard likes to manufacture scarcity in housing/water to raise rates in perpetuity in an otherwise abundant planet. “We got ours now we don’t want to hear planes or see apartments”. This attitude does not go far on other countries. Desal? Across the street from the largest body of water in the world? Doesn’t work they say. 😂. Will “saltify the oceans”. 😂. That’s not a thing. Salt is also a highly valuable by product. Luxurious desires of the elderly do not outweigh the basic human necessities of the rest of the population I mean. Every other country has condos lining coastal areas. We are exempt? Or we are forced into abiding the old guard’s every single willy nilly desire? Jet noise!? Omg. In 2024!? Let’s get rid of jet noise! 😂. Okay 👌

Two wolves and a sheep voting on who's for dinner.

Bye, bye, PESCADERO 😢😢😢

Government is the root of all problems.

Leave Pescadero alone!
