The course prevented another several hundred homes from being jammed in there. I still say we fix these housing supply problems with bulldozers. Think of it this way.

I guess GM must use that same logic. Now that cities are asking to be part of the TARP we as tax payers better ask why. Isn't it amazing that the federal government is being asked to bail out cities to pay for expensive golf courses and $175K per year police officers. That being said I do not believe it is a bad idea for cities to build public services many enjoy, but you need to make sure you can afford them first. Asking the federal government to bail out this golf course's bonds or Petco Park's bonds is ridiculous. Did the person actually say if they did not spend money to build it, it would break even.

This is a $70M monument to a complete lack of foresight and out of control ego feeding. Is everything in Carlsbad so perfect then that this was the best thing they could do with the money and the land? Hilarious. I can't wait to see this course in 2010. I bet the tents on the fairways will be spectacular. A municipal golf course is one thing. This is a $70M monument to a complete lack of foresight and out of control ego feeding.

In spades! The battle for the consumers discretionary income is going to be intense in the coming months. For a lot of golfers, hittting a 5 iron right on the srews 175 yards is just as rewarding on a $40.00 golf course as it is on a $100.00 one. Not worth the green fees though.

The most interesting thing is that from the 10th tee, you can see 7 of the 9 holes on the back nine. Not worth the green fees though. Lousy course!
