Okay, but still, when someone posts hyperbole such as calling Bergin & Marquis “the ultimate in law enforcement” then it should be legal to wax sacrastic.

Englund should never have been given a free site by POA to build his super store. It’s sets a precedent, doesnt it? Shouldnt every merchant now be given a long term cheap lease on publicly owned building sites so they can convert there deeded ground from business outlets to luxury condos? Why is John Englund so special? Who’s ass did he grease for that sweeetheart deal?

Well no, but I figured you knew because you said a long term cheap lease. So, for all we know it could be that or a short term expensive lease, or somewhere in between.

Think big, Luke, think big. There’s no markup on affordable housing (and who cares about the poor, anyway?) Emerald Heights should go strictly high end luxury condos, baby, the bigger the better. With the projected income from the sales you’d be able to get financing to buy the former Blue Ridge property and put in a first class executive size golf course(with adjoining condos) to compliment the Emerald Heights project. These two big ticket projects will provide housekeeping, custodial and maintence jobs for locals who can live in trailer parks in the Burnside-Swensen-Knappa areas.

He is full of crap and hopscotch’s back and forth as the wind blows and for his own benefit. Every once in awhile we get so wrapped up in our own feelings we forget that we have people who could be in the same place where we are wishing the most humiliating things to happen to others. I think to use words associated with women to humiliate others is atrocious. Luke’s family has had its share of run ins with the law, public record, as has many other’s through out Clatsop County.

HOUSTON ROCKS…))))))))

And Houston’s the former home of ex-Astoria City Councilor, and former Portway owner, Bob Heilman.

By the way, around here all new homes, these days, are homes for the rich.

Got any ideas on building or providing good, affordable homes for those members of our work force and those that want to make a life here but can’t afford to?

Jon Englund and his group of “Brahman’s” only did what they were allowed to do within a “Change to suit” Comprehensive Plan caters to these kind of developers and the solution sits right up there, twice a month, on that dais in Astoria City Council Chambers.

Thank God somebody got a reasonably workable plan that had some compromise to the benefit of “The Citizens” but, it is still up in the air as to what will be built because once again a variance was approved without a firm plan of any sort just like Astoria Business Park on 39th street and again, our leaders perched up on that dais said those developers on that project would do the right thing for the citizens of Astoira.

Did they?

Funny thing is, all projects like these always end up with City Council to make the final determination and they will keep rewriting the “Findings of Fact”, if necessary, to suit the final answer they want but, until we have a better way, that’s just the way it will be and will always put Tryan, as a member of APC in a tough decision making position every time.

I would have rather heard an announcement by these people, who proudly and loudly proclaim their multi-generrational heritage here, that a new Public/Private Housing Development was beginning up on “Blue Ridge Hill” that sits there, dead as hell, waiting, waiting, waiting along with Tongue Point Industrial Area dying in the vine.

I am willing, for a small fee, to tell you what Luke’s pets said his plans were for the waterfront. They told me when Luke took them for strolls along the Riverwalk.

As a taxpayer I would love it if each and every small time real estate broker charged the city council a fee to consult with them on ways to build up the waterfront. Now wouldn’t that be a lucrative deal for the real estate broker. As a taxpayer I would require that the city council only use brokers for consultants that have absolutely no experience in this area of endeavor, have no proof that their plans would ever work, have no prior plans ever having been used, and have no working capitol of their own to invest.

I would suggest that if people really wanted to know where these ideas for the waterfront were coming from they look at city development plans dating about 1976ish in the basement of the Maritime Museum. They will look remarkably familiar.
