Veterans Cemetery coming to Irvine

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
I don't know what the fuss is all about.  I heard all veterans were offered complimentary towels at the door.

OC vets memorial fb page feels like it has an anti-Chinese vibe to it.
So yaliu's group respects vets, but doesn't want a cemetery
The vets group is drumming up anti-Chinese sentiment over this? And lying about the presence of non-Chinese at the mtg?

there are 95% asians and 5% non-asians.  i categorize indians asians too.  i dont think they are lying about the "non-chinese at the mtg".  it is just easy to miss the 5% non-asians. 

we did took pictures during the meeting and we have proof.  quote from IHO favorite sentence.

btw, i know there is one american in PP openly support relocate the cemetery.  if Jmony comes to HOA board meeting, he WOULD be the witness.
 
Looks like there are more roadblocks ahead.  Shea responded to the website that was trying to throw jabs at her.

Dear Dan,
You love to create controversy and spin facts, which isn?t responsible, in my opinion.
Yes the Governor came to Irvine and he stated, on camera, to my surprise, the Dept of Finance wouldn?t agree to approve the funding for the cemetery, but he stated, he moved forward with the Quirk Silva plan, as she was so tenacious. Best to review that media statement.
We approved the site at the Great Park as a set aside. We haven?t changed the General Plan, because there are so many hurdles ahead of us. The State and the Federal government must decide if they will fund this project
We have many competing interests, and as electeds, we must represent everyone.
We have hundreds of residents that spent up to a million dollars and more for their homes, and they have a right to their opinion, as do our Veterans,
Diminishing their interests, is unfair and not what I was elected to do.
The decision is in the lap of the State and Federal government, not further with our City.
Best you take up your battle there.
Our Council and our Supervisors shouldn?t be pressured to make public policy decisions based on your intimidation. I have never made decisions to support an issue because someone or even many try to intimidate me into their way of thinking.
I was elected to represent all our residents and I will continue to do so.
There was no smoking gun letter, it was a letter I sent to respond to our residents, just like I do as a matter of course in my daily duties.
My Father, Stepfather and Grandfather were Veterans. I am working on an affordable housing plan for our Veterans. Don?t try to characterize me in opposition to our Vets, as that impression is just wrong.

@TCCC, come out and voice your thoughts why cemetery should be in great park.  This gives us a chance to listen your thoughts and give you a chance to listen our thoughts.  any thoughts are welcome.

So, any thoughts are welcome... but only if they are Chinese.

Here is what happened tonight at the meeting according to the vets:

We only wanted to dialog, but were turned away at the door. "Private party rental' we were told. Chinese only.

Tell the Veterans to kindly remind the doorman that Irvine is not a 19th century foreign concession, and they're not trying to enter Huangpu Park here.

Did this really happen?
 
There is a saying in Chinese similar to 'when in Rome, do as Romans do'. These anti-cemetery vocals, so bent on clinging to their custom, seem to have forgotten that deeply ingrained philosophy. The stupid fengshui is everything and the only thing they care about now. It is plainly rude imho.

Follow with a rude comment about feng shui.
 
If that quote from Shea is true, she can only be a bigger moron that once feared. To say

"We have hundreds of residents that spent up to a million dollars and more for their homes, and they have a right to their opinion, as do our Veterans"

while true, the $$$ of property cannot be put on the same scale as someone who spent their life as a sacrifice in the defense of this country.

Interesting perspective - again if true - on this persons priorities.

The Chinese only comment was bs. They would have raised more stank.
