ERAC (erase at this blog) is the arm of the General Plan update created by the deputy mayor and the majority council . It's made up largely of developers, real estate heavy supporters and is quickly becoming central to the General Plan Update process.
Although there are genuinely engaged individuals throughout this arm, we believe that all of us must be vigilant to see that no one world view is heard while other views are silenced. There is a great tendency to monetize every single discussion at ERAC and this stifles values conversations and untested future planning into possibly irrelevant constraints of the current fiscal standards. Decisions based only on bottom line arguments limit Encinitas.
As many eyes and ideas as possible need to scrutinize this hasty council-shaped arm for temporary use and the other contributors to the General Plan Update process. Distrust is high and secrecy feeds distrust. So, go witness.
