Incredible exchange between Encinitas Mayor Bruce Ehlers and councilman Luke Shaffer. In reference to **checks notes** a housing development @luke4encinitas says “at some point there has to be people willing to pickup a rifle” in order to stop it. Shaffer also makes a reference to a dictator. Says we’re being attacked, and multiple references to “my land.” Author’s note, this is privately owned land and Shaffer appears to be unironically dictating what the owners may do with it, under threat of violence. Not surprisingly, @Bruce4Encinitas is the voice of experienced reason, despite his general anti development stance. Author’s note, the appeal to this housing development was ultimately denied and the project will move forward, for now. It’s also clear Shaffer’s (and Jim O’Hara’s) hardline stance will most likely and ironically result in much more housing for Encinitas. Stick to your guns, fellas! 😅🔫
