"We love working and living in Marin"

I hated Marin. I got the hell outta there. I couldn't get out fast enough!

Lucas should have known what to expect. I did. If he were thinking clearly, he would have. It was obvious. It still is. What you see is what you get.

“Dale said any proposed housing development on the property would have to be “suited to the zoning, the people who live here and the people who come here.”

That’s Marin County speak for No Section 8 or Blacks allowed. They’ve been using Green Laws to keep low income out for years. I’ve been to the Ranch twice. It is not the great melting pot up there.

I hope it’s all Section 8 housing.

Corporatists (fascists) are not the dictators they wannbe in the US.

Actually, they very nearly are.

I do agree with your remark that leftists like Lucas assume they'll get a pass when they want to do something. Its amusing to see them tripped up by the same attitudes they themselves share toward anyone else.

They should have moved where they were welcome to develop

I say the same thing all the time. Why would anyone in their right mind build anything in California? Build where they want you. If that happens to be China, or Dubai, or North Carolina, so be it. Wasting a decade of your life trying to get permission to build in a place where the planners have run amuck is simply not worth it; life is too short. Take your money and your jobs and your technology and go where they are prepared to work with you.

I've been involved with a couple of industries that were leaving the US and I understand exactly where they are coming from.

Low-income housing?

Can’t wait for those uptight libs to notice Trayvon poking around their neighborhood with his “burglary tool.”

God NO..we don’t want him or his whiney backside in Texas. Let him stay in CA among his own kind.
Low income housing in his area of Marin=1.0 million

I don’t think it is real cute when lefty corporatists threaten communities with communist housing in revenge for not meeting their development demands.

As the prissy sh!ts move out of the US to get even with those who disobey them to communist China, I look forward to the day that China’s current system of one party slave labor explodes and they get a load of problems that are not burdened by the American justice system and population.

Really, I look forward to the political and social ideology of globalism to bite the stupid, self serving corporatist traitors in the azz. It’s going to happen. Communism and poverty is not Utopia. They are cutting off their noses to spite their faces in the long run.

These azzez just needed to move on to Texas or some other business friendly state rather than playing their fascist politics in California against a commmunity. They will pay.

I don't blame the neighbors.

We have enough development and people here in California to last for another 50 years.

I say you encourage them to most their crap to Texas, and build there.

The greedy corrupt developers who hire nothing but illegal aliens will enjoy the wind swept plain of Texas...Not so sure about the Hollywood types though.

Good luck trying to convince everyone to move to Texas.

If I could, I'd send ya 10 million tomorrow.

Meant to say, I hope you encourage them to move their crap to Texas, and build there.

Just watch out for the wealthy corrupt developers...I can guarantee you they'll build 20,000 greedy marts across the wind swept Texas plains, which will all be owned by Muslims...To feed all the illegals who will be living in the 20,000 5-story pink apartment buildings the greedy developers will build across the flat lands of Texas.

In fact, these criminal developers hire nothing but illegal aliens, and will turn the Alamo into a medical clinica for pregnant illegals if ya turn your backs. Trust me.

I encourage all greedy commercial developers to leave this state.

Remember before the 2008 election, when he said that he based the evil Empire from his movies on the United States government?

Considering the first movie came out in the Carter era and the second trilogy debuted in the Clinton era, it isn't that hard to see where he got his ideas.

LOL. The empire strikes back!

I got the perfect name for it too : Marin City II.
Having lived in Marin for 30 years, I can't think of a better monument for Barbara Bouncer, the huge frog and her original "tiny pond."

You've obviously never been to Marin City, a major source for pimps who find the naive daughters of lefty entrepreneurs prime pickings for their stables, and drug dealers to the rich and famous, or visited East San Rafael, where only illegal Hispanics dare live, and which supplies dish washers, gardeners, and manual labor to much of Marin.
