Another Very Deceptive Quote About Marymount

"Historically, assessed home values around the Marymount campus have risen at a rate equal to or surpassing County rates.

The new library and recreational facilities proposed by the College can only cause home values to increase"-Rich Auerbach, Los Angeles County Assessor (Retired)

Where is Mr. Auerbach's quote about home values near any College campus having dorms?

There is no reason to trust Marymount's ad when it uses quotes as misstatements AGAIN!

The ad claims building student housing among other things will "further enhance our community and protect home values" when there is absolutely no proof whatsoever that the statement is true, not misleading and/or just plain false.

The ad even illustrated an illegal and incorrect method of marking a ballot.

Thursday is a day where we all learn a lot more information from others in the community about Measure P, The Marymount Plan when we open the pages of The Palos Verdes Peninsula News and read the abundance of letters about Marymount and Measure P in the letters to the editor.

But being as Thursday is also a day that ends in "y" it is also a day when more deception, misstatements, and fiction about Measure P, The Marymount Plan come out with help of supporters, over a million dollars of marketing, Marymount Administrators, and probably some folks standing to make money with the passage of Measure P, The Marymount Plan.

And another thing, when many colleges and other types of schools are abandoning their brick and mortar libraries, Marymount continues to tell folks they will build a "modern library" implying they will build what is becoming a obsolete facility in the 21st. Century.

Since physical libraries cost colleges more these days and would require revenue to build one at Marymount using funds gathered from any approval for dorms with Measure P, there continues to be no reason to believe Marymount won't change its plans (it can do so with as much as 5% before it looks for any approval) and offer a virtual library for students and others.

Commercial subleasing of facilities at Marymount College would be allowed under Measure P, The Marymount Plan. This is most likely one of the revenue generation machines Marymount wants to use for whatever it finally decides to build or not build.

The limit on the number of dirt-hauling trucks has been deleted in Measure P along with other safety-related and/or reasonable traffic mitigation.

It doesn't matter whether sound travels one way or another if Measure P passes because the volume of any and all noise will not be limited by municipal code at the site.

Measure P would allow as an example, a production company using the campus to produce music videos, concerts, outdoor theatre pieces, television shows and commercials, theatrical movie releases all without noise limits, volume controls, or amplified sound volume limits.

If neighbors don't happen to like whatever is produced, that's just too bad for them because they would have no real recourse to find settlement.

The crock of sh** about traffic coming from Marymount's campaign provides one of the most blatant falsehoods and fact-less language in the entire campaign.

Traffic will INCREASE because of passage of Measure P and traffic mitigation would either decrease or be completely eliminated.

Marymount College has no intention of supplying enough on-campus parking spaces for all the vehicles associated with Marymount College but they won't tell you that, will they?

If you care enough about Rancho Palos Verdes, please read carefully the language contained in Measure P, and The Marymount Plan and then read what is contained in the entitlements and conditions of the already approved Marymount College Facilities Expansion Project.

Once compared, I don't believe a sentient human with true caring for the residents of Rancho Palos Verdes as opposed to those who may receive personal financial gain from the passage of Measure P, would vote "Yes" on Measure P.

I feel they would do as so many of us do and support The Marymount College Facilities Expansion Project and oppose Measure P, The Marymount Plan.

Please vote "No" (put a dot in the ink-a-vote spot on line 199 or carefully punch out the chad numbered 199 on you absentee ballot) on Measure P, The Marymount Plan.

Safety. Everyone. Everywhere. Every hour.
