California continues down the path to Third World status.

More productive people will flee, more derelicts will move in.

The point of no return has been passed.

I guess you can go to the driving range, tee up a bucket of balls and see how many you can hit with each shot. Kind of like aiming for the ball jockey van.

My liberal venture capitalist relative saw the light 5 years ago and left San Fran. Called it a move to a more central location in the country because he flies to both coasts a lot.

That was his excuse for getting out without blaming San Fran. He went from a 1,400 SF San Fran house to a 4,400 SF Colorado house for the same money, and now has a ski condo too.

For illegals - not for homeless veterans!

I only scanned the bill, does it really state that?

Fortunately, I believe, pebble beach is privately owned. It would be a crime to destroy it with tacky housing. The 17 mile drive is one of the worlds most scenic byways.

“...to be Converted...”
“...proposing to convert...”

Two different meanings. Who writes this crap?

"What the hell are you trying to do, kill me with a golf ball?! It's not enough you have all these beautiful acres fenced in for your little game, but you gotta kill me with a golf ball?! You should have children playing here, you should have families having picnics, you should have a god.... petting zoo! But instead you've got these stupid electric carts for you old men with nothing better to do!"

California lawmakers seem to want to turn their country into Mexico Norte. Every year more and more restrictions.

It’s all fun and games until the money runs out.

Tear down an old building to make room for a new building.

I like to drive by golf courses.

Put new cement where the old cement is.

“Should non-golfers care?”

Well, I don’t golf and I don’t care.

But the flip side tells me this “congress critter” already has family members, friends or friends of friends lined up to take advantage of the new government handout. She will no doubt collect her 10% just like the Big Guy and everybody else in the Den of Thieves (commonly referred to as Congress).🙄
