May 03, 2018
The Midcoast is in an uproar about a proposed 206-room luxury hotel across from the Frenchman’s Creek (Ruisseau Francais) neighborhood in Half Moon Bay. Oh great, let's put more cars on Highway 1, just what we need! Hashtag Enough Already!
Also of note: The hotel developer's cheerleader Kendall Flint was outed and chastised on the Midcoast NextDoor forum for promoting the project without identifying herself as the developer's employee. The Half Moon Bay Review (May 2) revealed her identity and connection to the developer.

Big Banker reported February 4, 2018: "On November 30, 2017, a Notice of Default was filed on Sonora Shores Harmony @ 1 project. This is the existing loan recorded April 30, 2014. The Trust Deed in the amount of $9,600,000 has swelled to $13,572,548.99. The loan was due to be paid in full by April 25, 2016."
Big Banker reported August 8, 2015: "As of the close of business Friday, August 28, there were no recorded liens or notice of default. First loan, $5 million. Second loan, $5.6 million. On February 17, 2015, a strange deed of trust was recorded by Sonora Shores in favor of Urban Land, a performance deed of trust, which normally means there is some kind of equity share agreement between Sonora Shores and Urban Land, a specific performance action that takes place when lots sell. The only items filed and recorded were the Declaration of Convents, Conditions, and Restrictions (CCR); and a subordination agreement on July 29, 2015 regarding the CCRs."

EL STINKO: PACIFICA WWTP HOTEL PLAN
February 28, 2018
Better Business Burro says that talks have broken down between Friend Hotel Developers and the City of Pacifica regarding development of a hotel at the city’s old Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) site in Sharp Park. The city survey (click link above) shows about 2-1 support for building a hotel at the site, but that is based on a mere 80 survey respondents. Out of a city of 40,000, that's about one-tenth of 1 percent.
