To the Editor:
Sprinkled with a few good projects, the current council has clearly failed Encinitas citizens, marred by over six years of incompetence and poor leadership.
They have failed to set aside political party allegiances and prioritize the well-being of Encinitas in every decision.
When they are gone — as is typical of fast-growth politicians — their beloved, oversized, and overbuilt structures will remain, leaving daily citizens to deal with the consequences.
Not one council member or mayor has made a meaningful effort to collaborate with the dozens of California cities to form a simple alliance to push back against Sacramento’s “stack, pack, and trash the environment” housing policies.
United, these cities could have achieved far better solutions.
Has this been the most damaging council and mayor since the city’s incorporation in 1986? Likely.
Either way, our Encinitas community and families deserved far better than a legacy of leftover damage control.

Mr. Jones – Your wholly unnecessary rant at the Special City Council Meeting recognizing the service of the outgoing mayor and council members is a perfect example of the rise of hate and decline of civility across the country. You are an embarrassment. Shame on you.
