The End of the Pit Saga

Posted on By stega No Comments on The End of the Pit Saga

A few weeks back, the saga I’ve written about over the last several years finally wrapped up completely. Then I spent a month putting together a documentary about the craziness induced into our lives by a County Planning Department that somehow manages to act both maliciously and ineptly at the same time. All over a giant pit created by the guy who built our house back in the 1960s…..

Here’s the video:

The 6+ year saga spent dealing with the Santa Clara County Department of Planning as we tried to fill a giant man-made hole created by the original owner of our property almost 60 years ago. The saga took many unexpected twists and turns which included, in no particular order:

  • Being ghosted by the Santa Clara County Department of Planning on several occasions
  • Numerous incidents of ineptitude on the part of that same department
  • What we believe was retaliation — in the form of deliberately imposed delays — that caused this saga to drag on far longer than it should have
  • Being threatened by a member of County staff, in front of witnesses
