Dear Mr. Emerson,

 

The photo contained in this hyperlink was taken prior to June 23rd 2003, the date I first loaded it up on to my one website after the first garage door to the right of the green Mercedes was removed and replaced with a glass door and window.

 

At the time I was renting this “studio” unaware as Greg Beckham wrote in his handwritten letter to me and my wife dated December 14th 2004 after we had just moved into the main section of the house that,

 

the studio is not a conforming residence and the city has closed me down before.”

 

Again, Mr. Beckham is the property manager and it is very possible that the owners, the Knutsons who apparently live in Palm Desert although I am quite certain aware of the structural “improvements” Mr. Beckham has made over the years, may not be fully “compos mentis” of all the facts which is why my wife and I feel it is important that they be brought “up to speed” ASAP.

 

It is my experience in corporate restructurings-workouts that when someone gets away just once with committing a foul act i.e. building into their “cost of sales” the “cost of getting caught” it becomes that much easier on the next go around to sock it to those further down the pyramid eventually thinking themselves so godly, sitting in the galleries with folded hands watching those at the bottom of the pyramid fight for the scraps, enough to make you vomit?

 

So many of us Americans believing that if you rent you must be both poor as well as stupid?

 

Given Mr. Beckham’s extraordinary “fast and loose” play with both his words and actions in dealing with me and my wife in recent times having apparently accumulated most of his recent wealth the result of the real estate inflationary bidding wars, I am not in the least bit surprised that he has while preaching to us that we be “more community oriented.. learn to get along with my own kind” [sic] has in fact run afoul of the law in his jewelry business that you tell me once required the City of Del Mar stepping in, forcing Mr. Beckham to make “adjustments” which I thought I heard you say earlier today had SCUPTURAL JEWELRY located at 1014 Stratford Court just up the lane from our second residence in Del Mar “expanding on to the roof”?

 

My wife and I are very concerned that nothing get “swept under the carpet” and toward this effort which we believe while enlightening the poor and downtrodden but not necessarily anywhere near as stupid as Mr. Beckham and Co. will also protect ourselves, our friends, our pets and our plants, we are continuing to “go public” with our findings and so we believe should the City of Del Mar.

 

BTW isn’t it an odd thing to have a door between 2 separate units, our hallway downstairs that leads in to the garage area has this locked door leading into these 2 converted garages which we also refer to as “The Cave”?

 

It is time, wouldn’t you agree that those who usurp their limited authority not be allowed to use what may very well be “ill-gotten” gains to continue playing it “fast and loose” while honest hardworking people just trying to make ends meet, “sum” [sic] of us amongst the “favored class” doing our level best to empower the kids to parent the parents who need the most help find themselves so disgusted with “business as usual” particularly amongst corrupt City Halls deciding to the point that we simply pack our bags leaving the wolves to end up eventually in a feeding frenzy amongst their own kind?

 

Mankind so unkind to G-D-NAture it no surprise we are unkind to mankind, the oxymoron of all time?

 

What goes around comes around but with a vengeance?

 

357 Parish Lane is a unique property, the architecture one of a kind and it is unfortunate it has already lost some of its character to mention little of the additional traffic at all times of the day and night.

 

Allowing this to continue is a sad state of affairs. We are losing all the little beach houses that gives Del Mar its charm.

 

Thank you for attending promptly to this matter of grave concern to us.

 

Desperate people are known to act desperately and my sense is that Mr. Beckham demonstrates rather well he will stop at nothing to get his way.

 

Gary S. Gevisser
