Bad drivers. As a former Eardley Ave resident, I saw people speed down the hill, locals and visitors. Roundabouts will not solve the problem.

A Pacific Grove tradition — plowing vehicles into buildings — happened again last week when someone drove a Toyota SUV into a house. The crash occurred Thursday, Aug. 6, at about 3:45 p.m., when the Toyota’s driver struck the corner of a house at Eardley and Pine avenues.

Driver one, who was “most responsible” for the accident, according to police, was visiting from Washington state. The Toyota driver is a Pacific Grove resident. Though driver one failed to yield, responding police officers decided not to issue a citation — another tradition in Pacific Grove.

Luke vs Nick in battle for mayor.

Bankupt Smith takes credit for a climate action plan and transitioning the city from an at-large election system to district-based elections. He also votes for roundabouts and higher city council pay. Did we mention bankrupt?

Coletti noted that he’s authored more than a dozen city ordinances and policies regarding transparency, government reform, land use and fiscal responsibility as mayor, he said, he would “represent the interests of residents, protect the natural environment, pursue affordable housing opportunities, promote youth recreation and reestablish the cultural arts commission.

Michaela Kuenster negotiated the rules to open a quasi-nightclub posing as a record store and now must live by them, boo hoo. Who’s in favor of more drunk drivers and noise in P.G?

Also, the police log mentions cite for prostitution! What goes on upstairs?
Pop & Hiss Prostitution Cite

Pop & Hiss has faced complaints from a few select residents even before it opened in 2024—Kuenster successfully navigated attempts to block its opening through the City permitting process, as well as the bid for a liquor license through the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.

Since then, P.G. Police have responded to 20 complaints about excessive noise and non-compliance with the bar’s ABC permit, according to P.G. Commander Brian Anderson.

She also says she’s been running the business “with one hand tied behind my back,” because her permits from the City and the ABC allow different things, curtailing her ability to operate and make money. She says she’s never been able to run at full capacity because of the discrepancy.

Whoever picks Harvey is in for a disaster.
“As with the grant application, the possibility of running out of time does not justify awarding a contract without conducting a fair and competitive selection process,” the grand jury said.
The Ojai City Manager (Ben Harvey) and Ventura County Executive Officer are invited to respond in 60 days.
On April 16, 2025, the Ventura County Civil Grand Jury received a public complaint alleging that the Ojai City Council authorized the city manager to negotiate a contract with DignityMoves for around $10 million for the construction of a 30-unit permanent supportive housing complex for people experiencing homelessness without obtaining competitive bids based on the lowest price as required by law for construction projects of this size
Ventura County’s due diligence finding echoes the Monterey County Civil Grand Jury’s findings in Project Bella. In both instances, the central criticism is that major public decisions proceeded without adequate due diligence, and both reports implicate Ben Harvey’s management of those processes.
A citizen complaint was filed with the Monterey County Civil Grand Jury (Jury). City administration came under sharp public criticism for its handling of this project including allegations that the City Manager had accepted gifts and cash from the developer.
