Clouded Journalism Caused By Greedy Activist Beliefs

This weekends article written in the Manteca Bulletin disappointed us all. It was a clear and evident attempt at clouding the information of housing activists attempting to turn Manteca into a Welfare Housing district by imposing low income housing in the middle of larger homes in higher end neighborhoods.

I'm going to break it down.

"It is a sad day when those in the middle class look down on the working class." This one and only line in the article standing alone as a sentence and paragraph was designed to obtain sympathy and blame others. This is a tactic of liberal activists who don't have evidence or support for their unpopular activism. How did the Manteca Bulletin obtain this information to write this line? You just can't say it's just a term and means nothing. How does a person look down on another? Why do they do it? Who are exactly 'those'? They were writing specifically on this topic regarding the City of Manteca. It's a slap in the face to all those who are middle class (majority) and many of them, if not all of them are indeed working class, too. Does it seem that all middle class citizens are retired and have money and don't want anything to do with anyone else?

"And if you really think city councils and such can control the economy and marketplace, next time around you’d better vote only for economists although that won’t do you any good." This is simply rubbish! How on earth does he know this? On top of it, who the hell do you think you are telling someone who and how they should vote for? Are you trying to endorse someone specifically? If so, come out and say it.

"The council under California law had no choice but to approve the Winters Colonial Estates as it met all requirements. They also have an obligation to encourage affordable housing." The last line has a KEY word, 'encourage'. It does not mean it's the law, and we have to. It does not. The Federal and State governments have decided that it's up to the individual city municipalities because there they know best and they can decide on how to spend and obtain tax revenues. Because no true research as been obtained by the Feds and State there are no real citations for it to be a legal mandate except to ENCOURAGE municipalities to try to allow low income housing known as 'Workforce Housing', a concept designed to make Manteca look as if it's on equal ground to Beverley Hills real estate.

"If they’d really like to lose even more value, let’s stop all residential construction and throw the people working on building the homes, supplying the materials, and trucking them all out of jobs as well. That, of course will only create more unemployment and lead to even more mortgage failures and in turn depress housing prices even more." This was a stunning violation of journalistic integrity. How on earth does a person know this? Where did this information come from? We can only contemplate it is completely fabricated because unless the entire country stopped building (which it never will) this can not happen. Again, it's a tactic used by activists trying to skew the facts and label others not willing to support their cause as 'greedy' and 'middle-class' looking down on all others who deserve our money we worked hard for (more taxes) thus taking from the have's and giving to the have nots. If the Manteca Bulletin were to actually listen to the people of this city, we don't want anymore new housing. Just build out what is left on the books with the developers and be done with it. We need to focus on our roads and finances, someone who is an economist and professional in the community.

This is a lesson to learn. Although being able to provide housing to those who have jobs working in various (and specific only sectors) are admirable, it's clearly NOT WANTED in the City of Manteca. Most of Manteca's citizens are against low income welfare housing (workforce housing). It's too much at this time. The housing activists that want to design and build these tiny homes want to make newer homes to those already plastered all over the city which is a testament to everyone that these types of homes outnumber the owners of 'McMansions' being attacked for their very existence. Why do we need more? As evidenced, many of these homes are filled with very low income to NO INCOME residence existing on welfare and many of them are infested with drugs, illegals and blight more than someone's front yard not being mowed at a 'McMansion'.

When journalistic integrity goes out the door to support a low income activist builder and planner and using old history of other cities over 50 years ago and purely distorting the facts and even creating them, we're being conned and induced to arm-twisting tactics of we better support them or else. It's simply a waste of space and in my personal opinion, we're being scammed and bamboozled.

Smaller houses are OK, but not where they should not be and because there are 'restrictions' on them to purchase and who you can sell them to, it also will be in violation of other laws on the books denying a home purchaser and/or investor from taking advantage of these homes. Until this can be corrected and by legislation, the majority rules. And that means NO WELFARE HOUSING (Workforce Housing) in Manteca California.

Manteca Bulletin Knows How to Read Your Mind

We're back to the same old story again, 'History by Dennis'. The great orator of the Manteca Bulletin has posted his opinion in complete disregard for home owners living in larger homes than he and his unfortunates who can't afford them when the city of Manteca voted to have these types of homes in the city to help bring in new and increased tax based revenues.

The title of his article alone says it all, he's telling us subliminally that we are all wrong and need to follow in the steps of the liberal ideological machine, the 'tele-tail-prompter'. What is it telling us all? We're being clouded by our ambition to live comfortably and have money. Oh, my gosh! You mean we can't make money more than we should? Is it unfair? According to the Manteca Bulletin it is. Call the Payroll Czar!

I hate to say this, but I have to say it. Everyone is taking notice of Dennis Wyatt and his articles. Some days he's so far to the left he smells like Obama's ass! The next he's so far to the right, he's made a full circle. You can't please everyone and this is getting noticed by the readers.

The article sounds like a fourth grader getting his butt kicked by a third grader and trying to make up and excuse of the reason why this happened. I'm getting a kick out of all the excuses the Manteca Bulletin is giving for us to have Welfare Housing (Workforce Housing) in our city. It's really become a huge push for them to convince us all and chastise us at the same time.

Let's talk about this paragraph: "It’s amazing but the people doing the most complaining about “depressed housing prices” they contend are hurt even more by the fact there are 300 homes still being built a year in Manteca aren’t even thinking about selling. They don’t like the idea their home is losing value which is money they never had."

First, it's a fact that we have depressed housing prices. Second, as time goes by, we all who have purchased homes purchased for the number one reason all across the country. 99.9% of everyone purchased it as a retirement investment. It's not just a place to live and raise our families, it's a place to live and wait as time goes by so we can sell it and retire some place else. This is how it has been going on for decades Dennis. So yes, we DO NOT LIKE THE IDEA OF LOSING VALUE ON MONEY WE HAVE TO WAIT TO OBTAIN WHICH IS TIME. The idea is to have it later on and we don't need WELFARE HOUSING to bring the investment down that voters approved of so we can give away our money we don't have now for later to some poor segregated economically disadvantaged worker.

Let's take a look at this next paragraph: "If they’d really like to lose even more value, let’s stop all residential construction and throw the people working on building the homes, supplying the materials, and trucking them all out of jobs as well. That, of course will only create more unemployment and lead to even more mortgage failures and in turn depress housing prices even more."

I really have to say something about this: "σκατά αγελάδας εξακολουθεί να είναι σκατά"

I put it in bold because this is pure bullshit! How does he know if this would cause us to loose value on our homes? Where did he get this information from? What study? I really have no words to say about this because its all made up. This is a complete fabrication and meaningless and shows how un-journalistic and unreliable the Manteca Bulletin has become. This crosses the line of being a State run Pravda being written behind the Iron Curtain. We all know too many politicians use terms such as 'percentage' (over-used) and 'most' and now the Manteca Bulletin is using the same tactics of hyper-bally to get a point across that is pure fiction at best. Journalistic integrity is now gone.

There is a difference between passion about something and actually writing to inform us that our thinking is wrong and we're all greedy and because our future retirements are clouding our minds we need to feel shameful because we're responsible for putting the housing market down the drain further. I don't feel shamefull at all and neither does the many "McMansion" owners across this city.

The fact is, Dennis and Ben Cantu want to bring these houses to the market faster so that the prices remain cheap before our homes start to increase thus bringing these economically disadvantaged segregated workers in the price range before it's too late. That's the reason why and they are afraid to say it. I said it for them.

Workforce Housing is Welfare Housing plain and simple.

Manteca Mayoral Candidate Ben Cantu Believes Citizens Owe Workers Affordable Housing

Ben Cantu submits his opinion on Workforce (WELFARE) Housing and why the citizens of Manteca need to fix this "segregation housing" (A made up term from liberals) because it's our duty to do so.

Below is my response in the Manteca Bulletin regarding his opinion letter.

I agree with 'more_cops', you certainly have a bias against those who worked hard (something you fail to mention) to achieve their dream of owning a "McMansion" and who by the way pay MORE MONEY IN TAXES for and continue to do so.

You represent a 'belief', and in my opinion your belief should remain personal as the same with being either a Christian or Buddhist. Yes, we have many people living in Manteca that are DECIDING to live here and DECIDING to live on a wage they have chosen. It is NOT our (council) responsibility to help them and is unfair for you to use them as your excuse because they chose to do so. You are a retired city worker and you are treating them as the same, government workers where the citizens should support just like our cops. NO WAY! Your thinking on this is the same as Obama-nomics, costly in the long-run and will cheapen the neighborhoods where these "McMansions" sit thus bringing the values of these properties down and it will eventually suffer the city coffers on those tax revenues. The only way for you to have your dream come true to work would be to bull-doze all those homes down you don't like.

Manteca has chosen and VOTED to have "McMansions" in this city to bring about higher revenue in turn for those who have achieved their success to be able to live in peace, live in a nice neighborhood and live without the crime ridden welfare (Workforce) housing sitting right next to them. They want their children to have a good upbringing less tougher than they did when growing up so they can contribute to society when they become adults, not have to live with the low-life's that chose to live that way and bully them on the streets and tag the streets they live on. Quite frankly, Manteca has gone in the right direction because we know we don't want to become a suburb of Stockton.

Manteca already has enough mixing of housing and plenty of houses already. We also do NOT NEED ANYMORE NEW HOUSING in Manteca. Let's finish the building of what was left and leave it there. The new council should focus on business filling in the vacant lots and buildings just sitting all around town.

It's time for a new Mayor of Manteca and I will not be voting for anyone who has a retirement from this city because your thinking is the same and will remain so, bureaucracy. Your plan also has too much tax remedies in it that will continue to force everyone in Manteca to pay for your big WELFARE HOUSING mistake. That leaves only one other left and as I recall, he too is against this and has mentioned it several times in his 2008 election.

You've had 30 years to bitch about this to the city council and how come you haven't? You're on the Kiwanis club and as a president with Willie, how come you don't have coffee with him about this? If you're that passionate about this, how come you didn't quite your job in protest? There is another city council candidate who has a noise problem with his neighbors and the current city council has done absolutely NOTHING about it and there is a document signed by you that proves you did NOT do your due diligence on it and thus gave a legal document to these people who are conducting an illegal business on their residential property costing the city of Manteca tens of thousands of dollars in tax revenues since your signature on that document June 29, 1993 letter from the City of Manteca signed by Ben Cantu based on unverified information from the lawbreaking owner. http://way2noisy.blogspot.com/2009_02...

Manteca has lost so much money on these people because of this mistake and lazy approach to doing the job right. I'm sure this isn't the last oversight.

A Good Example of Workforce Housing In Manteca

Do you want to see how segregation housing (a liberal made up term) looks like? Go here:

http://www.mantecabulletin.com/news/article/8438/

Yes, at it's finest. The quality of citizens it brings about, the ambiance of culture and character of how one lives and brings about equal living including the scum and blithe who can't even get booked into our jails because of 'over-crowding' even if its TWO FELONY WARRANTS. Yes, this is what Dennis is writing about. This is what Ben Cantu wants to bring about, "Workforce Housing", (another made up term from liberals). It means: WELFARE HOUSING.

Yes, it will bring about JOBS alright! More cops as we see and more probation officers hanging around the neighbor'HOOD's. Yep, more illegal guns in the hands of those who can afford to live in those little affordable "ECONOMIC SEGREGATION" houses because they are economically disadvantaged and shame on all of use who have achieved our success and moved forward with technology and education and labored in the 'WORKFORCE' by embracing it, not blaming it and want to keep our neighborhoods and schools safe.

We have Pinkerton, and I wonder if its going the way of Stockton? We don't want another Stockton in Manteca. A Manteca reader mentioned the areas of Stockton that once were high-end and what the council called, "rich-kid neighborhoods" and they mixed the school districts around to bring about those disadvantaged in order to keep low achievement the standard bar to achieve. This isn't the Special Olympics where everyone is a winner! At least the Special Olympics has a goal in mind, DO YOUR VERY BEST! Not Workforce Housing, it tells everyone, "we want you to feel welcome and understand that your lower standards of achievement are embraced in our community and even if you are a felon, we WANT you to be around us."

It's amazing me how liberals steal and cheat from everyone else in order to get their way. They live in this imagined made up world and fiercely fight everyone in order to bring about this change and actually believe they are right and have first-hand knowledge and experience in do so. It's not only a mental disorder, it's a disease and deceit to the people.

Keep Workforce (WELFARE) Housing out of Manteca. We don't need it! It will bring the criminal elements an opportunity to live in our community.

Manteca Has No 'Economic Segregation' As Hyped By The Manteca Bulletin

I came across Dennis Wyatt's article today in the Bulletin and we're hearing his personal history story again this time as an example that Manteca can be just like those fine folks he grew up with. Yeah, and Oppie and Aunt Bee and Gomer will come visit us every Thanks Giving, too. This Mayberry attitude needs to stop! Mayberry was a made up town and so is this story and 'Workforce Housing'.

Here's the title: "Manteca should end economic segregation by subdivisions"

This sounds very socialistic to me. And, it's actually WELFARE HOUSING not workforce housing. No such thing ever! This is a made-up word and term and it's used to cover what we all know, you want affordable housing for those who can't afford anything larger than a 1000 square feet of home lined up with all those taco, pizza, burger and donuts joints you failed to mention on those same streets where these people would have a job. It's the same as being able to purchase a Ford Pinto or Mercedes Benz and you use the word and term 'segregation' to get your point across?

We're all getting tired of hearing you support Ben Cantu and this welfare housing project because this is a very socialistic endeavor and creating articles that are designed to give a history lesson of your past to inform us because of your upbringing in some town far away, it will do the same in Manteca. Get a life! You're taking advantage of your editorial position to pass this theory and idea on to the citizens of Manteca. We're not fooled. It's WELFARE plain and simple and we can read right through this mask. And, we are not hearing the crowds of wannabe home purchasers trying to get into Manteca complaining about segregation. I have news for you, that word went out in 1964! Again, another socialistic term using segregation.

Socialists have used the words 'community', work (now workforce), 'segregation' and 'responsibility' to get their points across. Having a mixing pot of very low income to high income and don't forget to include what will come with that, drug dealers, gangs and other kinds of people we don't want in this city or in our schools. Mixing does not work well, it never has.

We're a Family City, not a WELFARE (Workforce) CITY. Everyone has to work, so this blasts your 'workforce' word out the door. I'd rather have the educated experienced doers who have achieved to purchase their nice homes and neighborhoods, not the under achievers we will eventually here from you and Ben say, "now we need to HELP them".

Regardless of the waste treatment plant, we're being fed a lot of Bullshit from the Manteca Bulletin on this one and it needs to be flushed down the toilet. I have never seen anyone attend our city council meetings or even send in thousands of petitions to the council regarding their unfair treatment of being economically disadvantaged. This is an Obama tactic of the far left liberals who are not achievers, they lie, cheat and steal as we all know.
