"They did it to themselves."
I often listen and read what Los Osos residents have to say regarding the sewer. There has been plenty of articles and discussions hosted on this site that give many of our readers a very clear idea of our positions — but there has been little to no coverage of the diverse opinions expressed by residents. The sewer controversy has been alive and kicking for more than 30 years, and many people have a lot to say about it.
However, there are some Los Osos residents who cannot live with the idea that there is disagreement, that there is this groundswell of discontent that has become a mainstay of this current incarnation of the project. There is this bizarre belief that “one side” is completely right, the “other side” is completely wrong — and anyone discussing the very existence of gray shades is viciously harassed by misanthropic, self-serving sewer pundits who actually believe that the people of Los Osos “did it to themselves.”
