"Man, developing on this disused industrial site with an exemption from CA environmental litigation is taking too long!"
"You know what would be faster and cheaper? Relocating thousands of City employees into private sector offices, demolishing several high rise office structures, litigating an eminent domain case, and fighting off multiple CEQA lawsuits!"
This is such a ridiculously obvious attempt to pressure the Navy, an organization that will not be intimidated by anything SANDAG does, it borders on the parody. Just a bad look for Ikhrata and SANDAG.
