Issue of horse droppings a matter of life or death
The Duke gallops his horse across the meadow straight at the
charging outlaws, twirling and firing his rifle in his left hand,
firing his Colt in his right, reins in his teeth, his head out over
his mount’s and a look of resolve on his face.
Whoa!
His city-mandated saddle-mounted on-board digital computer
flashes, indicating his mount has just dropped road apples in the
meadow. He dismounts, holsters his rifle and revolver, removes his
pooper scooper from his saddle horn and deposits the pollution in his
left saddlebag.
The outlaws are upon him now, and before he can draw, he takes a
.44 in the chest. His last unheard utterance: “I shoulda called my
councilman.”
Here lies John Wayne
Nothin’ to lose,
Nothin’ to gain.
Didn’t call
The city his bane.

There’s more to fire protection than safety
I actually own a couple of properties. I just wanted to comment
that [a possible fire-related development standard in Corona del Mar]
is just a thinly veiled plot by people who have already developed
their properties to stem further development. So in effect, people
have built these monster homes, and now that they have, the small
ones are being forced to limit development.
Now, in relation to the fire issues, there are many urban areas
that are high density. All you need to do is improve the building
codes for fire protection on structures, and the [issue] of fire
hazard is mute.
