As for the RSF station its a single engine station and even smaller than the La Costa Station. Its not the size of that one but the opulence.
The area to the east of the La Costa station is San Marcos not Carlsbad. Sorry check your map. Try looking at an aerial photo and see exactly where that station sits. The communities it serves including your own house are all to the west by quite a margin. The station on Levante was in the middle of it all. There is a ton of land west of that location and closer to the community it serves. If they really need to serve Bressi and Rancho Carillo better they could move the La Costa Resort station that is old closer to all of that. There is more open land than the eye can see over that way. That would have been a better plan that dropping it in the middle of a the nicest nature preserve in the area. It was a developer payoff to the city plain and simple.
BTW, I have no desire to be a firefighter and cant remember ever wishing I was one. I like and respect fireman. With that said they get a sweetheart deal that doesnt exist in the private sector. The public sector and the idea of public servants is a joke. You have said many times that they give up salary for benefits and security for their family. Nowhere have I ever heard public service from you. That was how it used to be. You of everyone longs for the way things used to be. There is no difference. They are as corrupt and self serving as the private sector. It makes me laugh. No jealously here. Life is good…..[/quote]
The station is not that opulent, it just has an ocean view (at a distance…it’s miles east of the freeway). Even if they built it on the eastern side of RSF, they’d still have an ocean view. You seem to have a problem with the fact that there is a view, and building east of RSF wouldn’t fix that (it would probably be an even better view since it’s higher on the hill…which would end up costing the city more because of the grading and environmental impact issues).
Your post about people in the past becoming “public servants” because they wanted to be nice (never for the compensation — monetary or otherwise) is cute. I imagine you got that from a fictional book about “the good ol’ days.” Nurses, doctors, lawyers, etc. often worked “for free” as a public service or for humanitarian reasons. Does that mean all nurses, doctors, lawyers, etc. should be paid less, too?
Yes, you have stated that you wished you had become a firefighter. I can dig your posts up if you’d like…
