Enough already! The Bisno Ponte Vista merry-go-round continues foolishly making donkeys out of San Pedrans, who should know better. The Bisno Boondoggle is the classic characterization of what Joe Hill had in mind when he coined the phrase “pie in the sky.”
But, now comes the latest Bisno Bombshell, a 600-acre playing fields gift to the Eastview Little Leaguers. In our opinion, this creates a greater division in our community. According to the latest news release, there are no strings attached to this enticing concession.
The peninsula people, that’s us, are bombarded with all kinds of propaganda. Water problems still persist all over the state and San Pedro and its environs are no less affected. Does the City consider this impact when it gives out its permits and zone changes? The City gives out building permits like there is no tomorrow. Unfortunately there is always tomorrow for better or worse. What with the proposed water rationing, curtailing watering our gardens, etc., how does Bisno plan to maintain his open parkland and water vistas?
The work to be performed by union workers will be fleeting once the project is completed. It is not too clear that the maintenance crews will be union or at least paid good standard wages.
Is there an answer to this complex issue? Yes, simply stated the City should maintain the R-1 Zoning. Not withstanding all the contemporary jargon to allow his community destroying plans, when the new trends are to build smaller units…green style, as featured in the Los Angeles Times Real Estate Section.
We are a peninsula community with all open land being developed. With vast spaces no longer to build on, we’re sure conglomerates will sell our future generations the premise that the sea will be their refuge. They will be the boar people of the future.
We are not so naïve to think that we will ever go back to what we remember of our youth and of running wild in the vastness of old San Pedro. But, San Pedrans don’t allow the Bisno development to rob us of our past and diminish our future.
