1. This article is so inaccurate it begs to ask the question, where did they get their information?

   First, Joe’s Crabshack is now re-owned (they sold and bought it back for pennies on the dollar by Landry’s restaurants. At a recent meeting they saw value to the property and will be looking for amounts will into the 8 digits. It’s not reasonable to even consider this site.

   Next, as a resident of Seascape Two, all these locations would be a disaster for our neighbors. It will be too noisy, not to mention the awful smell of gasoline that will constantly come in from boats starting their engines 24 hours a day. The safety of these locations is also still a question since they are in the turning basin and I see a ton of personal watercraft that would be in far more danger in that area. It’s a disaster waiting to happen!

   Next, “CenterCal’s structure is no longer on the maps” is completely wrong, despite many other resident concerns and hopes. This is still alive and very much kicking. You can go down to their Visitor Center today and look at the proposed development. This is in the hands of the Coastal Commission, I think this month. Both the City and CenterCal do disagree with the state of the contract and a court will decide that. Many Staff at the City will tell you that CenterCal is likely correct, which is why the City is also pursuing two paths on this. But it is not dead by any means. It is negligent to say otherwise!!

   Last, the pipe dream of this power plant turned into a park is just ridiculous. There’s still no money, no plan and no real proposal for this. It’s an idea. I can pretty much assure you that AES won’t let go for nothing. They have other bidders and it will go for whatever makes best sense to AES management and their investors. Ask me and I’ll tell you that I bet it will still be standing above then ground when I am 6 feet under. And I’m in my 30’s.

   Shame on such nonsense reporting. If you want to become a reputable news organization, get your facts. It’s no wonder that I never hear your stories, except when they get a flag because you mention my city.

   1. Jonny,

      With reference to this sentence “CenterCal’s structure is no longer on the maps,” I used that as a turn of phrase and I should have been more clear, instead explaining that the current plans proposed were not moving forward immediately because of the lawsuit.
