Larry Agran and Tom Choym left an election campaign flyer on my front door asking for my vote. Stapled to the flyer was a plastic bag (gasp!) containing six tree seeds for their “Forestation Program.” This will “help speed our City toward carbon-neutrality,” as Larry proposes.
“Larry opposes the latest developer scheme to jam 57,000 additional housing units in Irvine that would dump another 100,000 cars onto our City streets every day, resulting in more traffic, more potholes, more pollution … and a diminished quality of life for everyone.” (emphasis added)
Home prices are outrageously high and so are apartment rents. They can only come down by building more, not opposing more housing. Where are our children and grandchildren going to live, Larry? You don’t seem to care.
Now as to “more traffic, more potholes, more pollution… and a diminished quality of life,” the City mails all of us Inside Irvine Fall 2024, a four-color, 100-page magazine promoting more traffic, more potholes and more pollution by inviting everyone in Irvine to drive to hundreds of activities everywhere, burning hundreds of thousands of gallons of gasoline in comings and goings. Not to worry, those six seeds you plant will bring Irvine right down “toward carbon-neutrality,” right? Never mind that China and India are each building a new coal-fired plant a week, adding to the thousands they already have. Their emissions dwarf America’s emissions forever. The “carbon-neutral” crowd wants to spend trillions more dollars to accomplish nothing, except make Al Gore’s followers feel good about themselves. Thirty years of failed panic predictions have not deterred the green faithful like Larry and Tom.
