THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CALIFORNIA - This site is dedicated to exposing the continuing Marxist Revolution in California and the all around massive stupidity of Socialists, Luddites, Communists, Fellow Travelers and of Liberalism in all of its ugly forms.


"It was a splendid population - for all the slow, sleepy, sluggish-brained sloths stayed at home - you never find that sort of people among pioneers - you cannot build pioneers out of that sort of material. It was that population that gave to California a name for getting up astounding enterprises and rushing them through with a magnificent dash and daring and a recklessness of cost or consequences, which she bears unto this day - and when she projects a new surprise the grave world smiles as usual and says, "Well, that is California all over."

Now Democrats Want to Abolish Golf

 


Democrat Assemblymember Cristina Garcia, whose 58th assembly district includes portions of southeastern Los Angeles County, has authored AB 672, which would change the status of many municipal golf courses in the state, opening the land for residential housing.

More specifically, the bill would:

Remove municipal golf courses from protections of the Public Park Preservation Act.

• Provide an exemption to the California Environmental Quality Act or CEQA.

• Make it easier to rezone public open-space land for housing.

Kessler said the bill is struggling at the state level and has been referred to two assembly committees, the Housing and Community Development committee and the Local Government committee. The bill must pass out of both committees by April 30 or it will die in committee for the rest of 2021. The bill has not been scheduled for a vote in either committee.

“Removing golf and only golf from the 50-year-old protections of CEQA and the Public Park Preservation Act amounts to a determination by legislative fiat that golf is no longer part of the greater family of publicly accessible recreational activities,” said James Ferrin, president of the California Alliance for Golf, a non-profit trade organization, in a letter to Assemblymember David Chiu, Chair of the Housing and Community Development Committee, and other assembly members.
