SmUGGIE - San Buenaventura
In their infinite wisdom the City of San Buenaventura has decided that artists are a public policy concern and as such deserving of special treatment. Thus they have threatened Emminent Domain to force out one owner unwilling to accept their "offer" that was subsequently increased by 50%. thus they have removed public parking from streets that have previously accepted Federal funding (illegal). and they are subsididizing high density mixed-use artistsloftscand studios. Despite Californias Constitutional Ammendment XXIV requiring a public vote, this was purely a council action. I can't wat until bloggers are declared artists so i can move in.
