Residents show support for hotel

I strongly support the hotel that will possibly go in at Marinapark.

Please hurry up and build it. I think it will just brighten up the

peninsula and will be something we will be proud of.

I am calling in favor of the Regent hotel. I think it would be a

great improvement for that area. I am very much in favor of it.

In response to the Community Commentary, “Residents who know about

Regent’s plan will support it.” I am now ashamed to admit that I was

once a Greenlight supporter, even though my ideological instincts

warned me against it.

I had no idea that a well-meaning law would morph into an activist

political party. I have investigated the Regent plan and found it the

kind of development even the slow-growthers would embrace. I wonder

if Tom Billings and the Greenlight Steering Committee, with all their

deceptions, realize the damage they are doing to intelligent and slow

development in Newport Beach.

If they keep this up, anything Greenlighters say will be rejected

out of hand.

In my more than 50 years as a resident of Newport Beach, I have

seen many changes. Steve Sutherland’s plans for a hotel can only add

to the enhancement of this beautiful city.
