Bressi Ranch ‘Group Home’ for Mentally Disabled

[TemekuT]

Allan:

You might be interested in the lyrics from a 1983 song by English folk singer June Tabor. It’s on the “Abyssinians” album. The song is about the Holocaust, written from the viewpoint of a haunted concentration camp survivor (probably her father) who was forced to prepare other prisoners for death. The lines that come to mind are:

The final solution to no one’s problem
Friends and lovers in stinking rows
Avoiding their eyes, checking their numbers
Burning their clothes.

[Allan from Fallbrook]

TemekuT: My grandmother had a scathing putdown for anyone she perceived as being spineless, or a moral coward (which she considered the worst sin of all): She would tell them to “be a good German”, the clear implication being that it’s easier to turn away and do nothing or pretend as though nothing is going on, versus taking a stand on moral or ethical grounds.

The Holocaust could not have happened without the duplicity of the German people, and, to an even larger extent, their willingness to accept the Nazi’s abuse of the “untermensch”, those they found subhuman, such as Jews, Gypsies, Slavs, the infirm and the retarded.

What makes this incident truly repulsive is it’s proximity to the Christmas season. Hell, the writer even references the Christmas season! Put down your eggnog and let’s have a pogrom!

this e-mail is so full of irony…

–Jim (the husband of the e-mail writer) is a REALTOR, he got his license in 2004.
–JRB the REALTOR bought their 4600 sqft home at the peak in 2005 for 1.08 million.
–6 doors down a same sized home just closed in December for 840k.

JRB and wife should be very happy that the city of Carlsbad helped prop their home value up with this purchase.

and seriously, what kind of a real estate professional pays over a million to live in the shadow of one of the busiest single runway airport in the nation.

overly-large tract houses now becoming group homes for the mentally challenged

the irony is rich!

these large houses would make fine Section 8 units as well – let’s see, Section 8 allows 2 adults per living space – in a 4500 SQFT house that probably means about 20 adults and their children

or halfway houses – probably about the same 20 adults (don’t worry, the residents have been rehabilitated)

or subdivide into illegal apartments – a large house like this probably has 3 or 4 bathrooms already – seal off some doors, throw up a wall or two and presto, 4 separate apartments

or mini-dorms – students and surfers would be happy living in this neighborhood and, if the price was right, wouldn’t mind having 30 people or so in the same house (after 20 who’s counting?)

so many possibilities …
