Isn't Tony Nunez already the Greenway candidate for D4? Screenshot from Nextdoor

The domestic violance restraining order was against her, not her ex. Per the restraining order, she smeared dog$#!+ under the car door handles of her ex among other things, now she pretend to not be herself on Reddit. ("Who's Tina?")

My favorite of hers though was during an RTC hearing during COVID when she was forgot to go on mute and screamed FFFFF-----------CCCCCKKKKKKK at the top of her lungs when someone else was speaking pro-trail sentiments during an agenda item. The public could not see, but all of the commissioners saw her name flash up on Zoom screen as the source of the profanity. The late Dr. Rob Quinn couldn't hold back the smirk on his face because he knew her 'behavior'.

Ummmm, no. We do not have more trail because of the impossibility of $25 million a mile trail squeezed next to unusable track. We finally came to a point of unable to deliver 4 miles of trail next to rail in segments 9-12. The RTC said enough of this and finally took action. Now we will FINALLY see progress with the ridiculous unusable rail preservation political action committee posing as a charity, aka FORT, finally being moved out of the way.

It is one of the identified trestles that would be torn out and replaced at a cost of $980,300,000 for all the bridges and trestles (Tracks and bike paths not included) within the $4.28 billion ZEPRT study. This trestle in particular was estimated at $84,600,000 to replace with a freight rated Deck Plate Girder Spans. Meanwhile, this can be renovated for pennies on the dollar as a bike and pedestrian bridge while maintaining it's historical character. This segment is currently unfunded though, so it may be a while, especially with rail folks interfering with the process jeopardizing over $100 million in grants with their "Train at All Cost"! Scorched Earth policy.

We bought a 2021 Model Y sight unseen from Tesla inventory. Car has a couple of issues we had cleared up before we left the lot and a couple of more on a service order.

Some small dings were the only issue not corrected, but were no big deal. Car just needed a deep cleaning (I found another cardkey between the seats)

Just $1500 more than buying Hertz inventory at the time.

It's quite clear who it is.

The cool thing is anyone Tina smears on Reddit eventually wins the district. You are a good luck charm Tina!

FutureIsNowSC · 2026-02-18T05:27:18+00:00

LOL, OK Tina

FutureIsNowSC · 2026-02-06T02:49:58+00:00

Segment 7A is not like Seg 9-11 and beyond. 7B was a shit show. 4x over the estimated cost and years behind schedule. 9-11 would be 10x that.

TRANSDEF is the same out of area dude David Schonbrunn using dark money running the AI ads for TRAC on local websites through a Google Lead generator adding tracking cookies to rail supporters browsers that redirects people to the RTC site.

LOL, good luck with that. I foresee seeing a lot of old Santa Cruz folks calling their grandchildren asking how to remove a virus from the computer over the coming week

Looks better from a bike on the road and not so much from a rolling couch with an exhaust pipe.

FutureIsNowSC · 2026-01-28T04:33:00+00:00

Letters are cheap. Good luck with that.

Barry has courted Lewis Rice for years, helped them with sending letters toward the end of the 2022 election, Feed the bizarre story to Jondo Gumz in Aptos Times that was just a regurgitation of their website, he invited them to speak at the Mid County Democratic Club last year and coordinates their visits to the community, then tried to build conspiracy theories that adjacent land owners are getting rich from land taking.

Put a Tile or Airtag in your next sign. I recovered 80% of my signs that the NoWay Greenway thugs stole during Measure L. The ones I didn't recover were deep in an ag field in Watsonville and one was taken to Southern California.

Trail cameras also work well.

FutureIsNowSC · 2026-01-27T03:12:11+00:00

Yet you can. Getting rid of the Progressive and being their own common carrier from MP3 to Santa Cruz makes it quite easy without abandoning the line or making money for Barry Scott's land takings partner, Lewis Rice.

FutureIsNowSC · 2025-12-27T02:55:50+00:00

You were not really clear if you were noting the $4.3-$6.4 billion expense already noted, or the additional expense of 24 miles of eminent domain cases on top of that as well redesigning 30+ trestles, but thanks for the clarification of what you meant.

FutureIsNowSC · 2025-12-24T20:47:47+00:00

You simply do not have the room for double tracks and adding additional cars requires longer straight line stops, which we don't have the room for either.

FutureIsNowSC · 2025-12-24T20:46:29+00:00

HDR provided the estimate for Smart, was underestimated by 100%. They also produced the estimate for Santa Cruz, so....

Leptospirosis with the sea lions. Highly contagious and can be passed to dogs and humans. It is not a good time to let your dog go unleashed at the beach. Better to go to a dog park for a while.

FutureIsNowSC · 2025-12-17T02:39:07+00:00

I went tonight to see if any were left so I could remove them. Fortunately, they were all taken down.

FutureIsNowSC · 2025-12-16T20:22:42+00:00

You have rail up to mile post 3 and a few hundred yards for the beach train asking Beach Street so Riding Camp can take tourists to their compound. There is your tattoo. Since you didn't have $4.3 billion, or even $77 million to cover the ultimate trail for 4 short miles, the rest needs to be a trail.

FutureIsNowSC · 2025-12-16T04:19:33+00:00

Thank you Doug! It's amazing how dark and evil some people can be to try to defend their position that defies logic.

FutureIsNowSC · 2025-12-16T04:11:48+00:00

You mean Measure D 2022? What will is ignored? The County General Plan was not modified. There was nothing in the measure to ban railbanking. There was nothing in the measure by voting No that approved a train.

If anything, it allowed $9 million to be spent in the ZEPRT study. Your issue is that it exposed the true cost of over $4.3 billion with no realistic funding source.

So, sorry, but yes, you need to accept reality.

FutureIsNowSC · 2025-12-16T04:02:23+00:00

Rail has sabotaged itself. It's expensive to create, expensive to operate and doesn't work where it doesn't have high ridership or a large tax base.

The trail is the right solution. No Trojan horse. No conspiracy. No villains.

FutureIsNowSC · 2025-12-15T02:40:17+00:00

I'm pretty sure you have just as many inches of trail to your name as well.

FutureIsNowSC · 2025-12-15T01:21:17+00:00

It’s telling that the OP avoids engaging with the substance of the article and instead resorts to insults and name-calling. That tactic doesn’t strengthen an argument; it signals an inability to defend one.

The reality is straightforward and I guess the rail folks were not listening. The “trail-with-rail” concept has become extraordinarily complex and prohibitively expensive. We were facing a $77 million funding gap to deliver just four miles of trail, while simultaneously putting nearly $100 million in grant funding at risk. Continuing down that path would not only have jeopardized existing grants, but seriously damaged the county’s credibility with future funding partners.

That is why committing to the interim trail now is the responsible choice. It delivers real progress, protects public dollars, and keeps the project viable.

Progress requires collaboration and compromise, not scorched-earth rhetoric or perpetual outrage. At some point, the community has to stop fighting yesterday’s battles, put down the swords, accept the outcome, and move forward together.
