The "my way or..." might be a reaction to those who want him to do nothing. Robert C. Meltzer Actually, I think that the developer proposed several options:

That's what I'm hearing. If you don't approve my project as proposed, then I will put in a 24 hour Fuel Depot. Now that doesn't sound like someone who is genuinely and sincerely interested in doing the best thing for that gateway, does it? Is the developer saying it’s my way or the highway?

BTW congrats to Editor for "A quick reminder that arguments for or against this project can be made without name calling - those comments that do will be deleted". Here's to more educated and civil discourse on any and all projects and to the elimination of character-assassination, name-calling and other general insults - whichever side of the debate you may be on.

But in the N3 (no-nothing-never) world, you are just an Orange County developer (OCd). Now I never joined the N3 religion, so I never got brainwashed. As a result I've been called an OCd so often, I've thought about changing my humble SB address to Laguna Beach, just to add some truth to the accusation. Ha ha, just kidding you N3’s. You ain’t gonna get rid of me that easily! Right you are, Nicole. But in the N3 (no-nothing-never) world, you are just an Orange County developer (OCd).
