Monarch Beach Mononimbyosis

Judging by donations, the Denizens of Monarch Beach were probably the most obsessed community of any against the planned El Toro International Airport. Yet, they are also one of the furthest communities away from El Toro that actually opposes it. Go figure. Since Monarch Beach has wasted so much money and time trying to obstruct El Toro, they have literally committed economic suicide. There are not enough tourists coming to visit the St. Regis. Hence, the recent bankruptcy. As one can see fools and their money are soon parted.

Think about it. Would international travelers want to come all the way down from LAX to stay there? Apparently, not often enough. On the other hand, were El Toro open for business, millions of additional visitors, especially affluent international visitors would stimulate the Orange County economy, including The St. Regis in Monarch Beach.

Instead the denizens of Monarch Beach were out there decrying the "wealthy special interests" of Newport Beach as if wealth was somehow a bad thing. They even went so far as to display a anti El Toro fund raising thermometer along Pacific Coast Highway.

The irony is Monarch Beach is not exactly a poor place itself, and is clearly above average disposable income level for most communities within Orange County. The only rational explanation for all this RINOism on their part is they must suffer from class envy of Newport Beach to rail against us for being "wealthy". Are we in Newport Beach to stop being productive after we make our very first million? Apparently, Monarch Beach thinks so.

Monarch Beach has tremendous economic potential, but they limit themselves by their economic ignorance, NIMBYism, and class envy of Newport Beach. Instead of worrying about their coastal neighbor up the road, why they don't they simply rethink their irrational opposition to the planned El Toro International Airport. The St. Regis would then become financially solvent, and local incomes would rise. What they have got to lose? Nothing, except for actually admitting they were snookered by the Agranista propaganda machine.

Congratulations Orange County. We are in THIRD PLACE...

Unfortunately, I am not entirely surprised by this sobering statistic. The people of (mostly South) Orange County were hoodwinked into voting for a Great Park over a job producing airport at El Toro.

The Great Pork has produced very little in the way of jobs. But it has required a lot of public assistance such as porkulus from Barbie Boxer.

An airport on the other hand, would produce 100,000 direct and indirect jobs and pump billions into the local economy. Irvine needs to come to their senses and lease El Toro to Los Angeles World Airport Authority.

El Toro would also solve the housing crisis and oversupply of houses. A surge of airport employees would cause a surge in housing demand, and therefore raise property values.

Lightning Strikes Plane

A Southwest Airlines jet was recently struck by lightning and had to make an emergency landing at Oakland International Airport. Fortunately OAK has a 10,000 foot runway. We all know that El Toro has not only has one, but TWO 10,000 foot runways as well. Then of course there are two 8,000 foot runways. Add it all up and we have 36,000 feet worth of runways! This is the equivalent of SIX John Wayne Airports!

However, the brainwashed NIMBYs who suffer from a decade plus of El Toro International Airport fear mongering created by the Agranistas would place their militant dogma over public safety. They also are gullible enough to think Irvine will build them a world class park. All without the use of public tax dollars! Yeah right!

Remember folks, John Wayne has a mere 5700 foot runway, which leaves virtually no margin for error. Common sense and the laws of physics dictates that a 10,000 foot runway is a far safer bet than the 5700 foot runway; especially under emergency conditions such as a lightning strike. But don't tell the NIMBYs that. They are so caught up in their hatred and class warfare of Newport Beach that they just cannot think rationally. Their minds are so clogged with emotional rhetoric and diehard dogma. That's a shame. As a public service, this blog is here to help them see the light and to show them that they have been misled this whole time.

Chances are someone on here will pipe in that El Toro is "unsafe" because "jets takeoff into mountains". Fine, then send the jets west or south over relatively flat areas. Besides, Woodbridge needs to be condemned anyways due to all that TCE poisoning of their water supply.
