Active Citizen Neighbors
There’s an advocacy group called Friends of North County (FONC). At a recent HOA board meeting, they told attendees that they had been advised by their legal counsel not to share anything in writing or electronically. Please respect their personal privacy. You may be able to learn more about the public profile of this group from their own websites http://friendsofnorthcounty.org or http://friendsofnorthcounty.org/news.htm
We couldn’t be luckier to have such talented, informed, and well-connected neighbors. These citizen activists know a lot about real estate, development, the law, finance, and related matters. That’s just what we need working on our side!
One FONC member - Leonard Steinberg, is sometimes introduced as a La Costa Valley resident with two elementary-school age kids. He’s just being modest. His experience as a Division President of Pulte Homes Corp., a multi-billion-dollar national homebuilder speaks for itself. Here’s a great story in the Metropolitan about Pulte’s long-standing success in San Diego - 2003 - Good Times for San Diego’s Home Builders. His credentials are impressive as a Principal Consultant with The Centennial Corporation, featuring his experience developing condominiums, apartments, and commercial and industrial centers.
Another FONC member - David Steigerwald, is President of a successful developer of custom homes in Solana Beach - Steigerwald-Dougherty, Inc. Check out the homes they build and remodel; they’re gorgeous!
