The whole Carlsbad strawberry field issue in the last elections in November was simply too confusing for any level headed resident to figure out. That said, the easiest way to explain it is that the “open space” people won with the passage of Prop. D. Now the new “Prop. D Citizens Liaison Committee” will be conducting “a communitywide assessment process.”
With the first meeting of a new citizens committee Friday morning, Carlsbad launched a six-month process to determine what the future might hold for the privately owned strawberry and flower-growing lands along Cannon Road. “I think we live in an age of very strong opinions based on very superficial knowledge,” said committee member Gary Hill as explanation of why he thought residents should be asked broad questions rather than simply asked what should be done with the strawberry fields.
Hopefully, they’ll build a new skatepark in there somewhere. If they do, then we’re all for it.
