Why are we luring space, surveillance and AI weapons companies to Central Coast? | Opinion

Families on the Central Coast and beyond deserve to understand the potential environmental, economic, and societal consequences of the expansion of space, weapons and surveillance industries along our pristine coastline. Recently, several of us in the Central Coast Antiwar Coalition attended a webinar presented by REACH, a San Luis Obispo-based public/private partnership that has received over $23 million dollars in state grant funding. State grants, along with Pentagon partnerships, are to be used to lure AI weapons companies for “precision manufacturing,” expand Vandenberg Space Force Base (VSFB) for more deafening Starlink satellite launches and new ICBM nuclear missile testing, as well as establish a spaceport to launch cube satellites from the sleepy Paso Robles airport. REACH points to Cal Poly and UCSB as suppliers of labor for this dystopian vision. All of this development may bring jobs in the distant future, but at what cost? Can we instead create jobs that improve healthcare, education and infrastructure, etc., rather than serve a war economy that benefits the top 1%, including the richest man on earth? Elon Musk, the oligarch who won’t even show up for a Coastal Commission hearing, plans by 2030 to launch 200 Falcon-9 rockets from Vandenberg, each carrying

With demand high, Santa Paula project adds more affordable units

Strong demand for lower-cost housing has prompted a developer to convert 53 rental apartments in Santa Paula from market-rate to affordable. The Santa Paula City Council voted Oct. 21 to approve an agreement, a $53,000 interest-free loan, a promissory note and a deed of trust for ALMA Santa Paula, L.P., an affiliate of Irvine-based Red Tail Multifamily Land Development LLC. The approval allows the developer to convert units at the 11-acre site on East Telegraph Road. The project was divided into two parcels in August 2023. The market-rate portion called ALMA Santa Paula featured 132 rental apartments. The recently completed affordable housing portion known as Citrus Flats contains 166 rental apartments. According to the projects' websites, ALMA Santa Paula is located at 1720 E. Telegraph Road , while Citrus Flats is at 1600 E.
