There is a ridiculous puff piece about Mike Harrah, the notorious developer who recently got busted in Hawaii for using illegal immigrants on a building project, in something called “Live OC.”
The article is a bit hard to find oline, but you can do so by clicking here, then click on “Amusement,” and then on the Mike Harrah article.
The article also fails to mention that Harrah has virtually destroyed a historic building, in the process of preparing the lot where he is supposedly going to build his One Broadway Tower.
And it fails to mention that he got caught, by one of our bloggers, doing illegal asbestos abatement while razing a building on the OBP lot.
I truly doubt that Harrah will ever find enough tenants for his OBP project. Not in today’s soft market – and not with a recession looming. But his PR staff is working overtime to promote him, and OBP. Perhaps to take away attention from Measure D?
Hey, isn’t that Planning Commissioner Victoria Bentencourt waving from the jet?
Don’t get caught up in all of the details, One Broadway Plaza will be a nice boring pillar awkwardly placed in the middle of Santa Ana. Why worry about how it got there, who helped get it there, and what pieces of history were there before?
Help me to understand this,
Sean has been flogging Debbie McEwen and French Park relentlessly about a proposed City redevelopment project in that neighborhood. If the project went forward it would rehabilitate a derilict property and reduce apartment units by 4. He claims it is all about ethnic cleansing and gentrification. When you compare that project to One Broadway and look at the potential impacts from each of them, one has to ask, where is Sean? Why is he not foaming at the mouth, and blasting everything in his path over the potential obliteration of Willard
Interesting isn’t it
No she is hiding in his beard.
