Who does this guy think he is?
Bob Jensen NIMBYing out at council over a residential development in his backyard
What is good for the goose is apparently not good for the gander. Yes this establishment shill doesn’t want a small development in his neighborhood and neither did I. That is why I repeatedly spoke against it. When it came to the proposed FJC stadium, well I signed off as a candidate against that too.
Hush hush keep it down now voices carry
Ah but yes, when it comes to buttering his bread, Jensen’s switch flips quick. That is because his bread butterer and former employer, the NOCCD, you know the goons that rammed their bond scam down our throats, now wants to build a 5,000 seat stadium blocks away from another stadium just west of Berkeley which will ruin your neighborhood forever. Let me explain.
Blue and White light at night-the enemy of your biological clock
The LED stadium lighting’s color spectrum is heavier on the blue wavelength and is disastrous for sleep
Yes establishment operative Jensen is all about quality of life-IN HIS NEIGHBORHOOD-
Why has he inserted himself in this issue going against the wishes of the residents who have been fighting this for years? This is real stretch for a NIMBY like brother Bob.
So what’s the difference between the LED color spectrum and the spectrum found in other artificial light sources? The main difference is that the LED spectrum is closer to natural daylight. So what’s the big deal? Blue and white light exposure after dark results in Melatonin suppression. Like a good night sleep? Forget it. Lights out at ten o’clock or perhaps eleven? Maybe when all the cars parked in front of your house start their engines with the punched out exhaust systems after they finish their conversations and leave their In and Out trash in the gutter around midnight, you can try to go to sleep.
You think the pensioned out fine arts professor knows or cares about any of that?
So why is he shilling for his employer? Why not? He is a NIMBY. Has Jensen and his crew been back to council for any issue other than Melia Homes? Of course not.
He did rear his head when it came time for the ram job the NOCCD is pulling with the planned Sherbeck Field stadium that is a few blocks away from the other stadium on Berkeley. He is defending it-AGAINST THE WISHES OF HUNDREDS OF RESIDENTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

Jensen is the delphi technique operative who heads a Facebook group that endorsed a candidate for city council who voted to put a SCAG senior planner on our planning commission. Thanks Bob.
Stadium Noise pollution is now being cooked to order by your friends with your tax money. Don’t forget the concerts.
Why is this self appointed NIMBY development expert defending his employer’s attempts to destroy our neighborhood? Good question. Ask your favorite fine arts professor about light frequencies and their affect on circadian rhythm and melatonin levels. Forget the fact that he sat back and let his employer proceed full speed ahead with the wireless systems deployments going in all over the entire Junior College campus which also affect melatonin levels and a wide array of other health related issues. Ask the theatre guy that knows all about responsible development about, insomnia, property values, and quality of life. Ask Bob Jensen.
So what will this stadium bring the residents of the beloved neighborhood too far to the south east of Jensen’s hideaway to give a crap about?
Noise pollution
Light pollution
Traffic
Crime
Parking problems
Vehicle accidents
Air pollution
More wear and tear on the already crumbling streets in the area of the Princeton circle neighborhood.
What’s in it for the Jensen operative? Pagan immortality? Who knows.

NOCCCD Board Meeting to discuss lowering seating capacity at Sherbeck Field to 2,000 seats [11-26-2019]
21:55- ROBERT (BOB) “THE SHILL” JENSEN: “Evening Board of Trustees and Chancellor’s staff and all the people that are here tonight, um I’m going to read from a statement I sent you this afternoon you may not have had a chance to see and Miss Reyes, since I didn’t have an email address I’ll just hand you a physical copy if that’s all right with you. One of my favorite words in the English language is ‘can’ which is the scope of one’s vision. During my 35 years at Fullerton College, I did my best to expand the vision of the departments I worked with, the colleagues I collaborated with, and the students I served- so much of the educational leadership experience comes down to having a robust vision for the future. I thank you as a governing board for voting as you did with a majority in favor of the Sherbeck Field improvements. Thank you so much for that— I know it was a long night, exhausting night, and I know all of you worked very hard in reaching the conclusion you did, and I know it was a 5-4, so that means that there was some serious concerns about what was going on. So I thank you. Thank you for that.
It’s my continuing belief, the college and district planners have responded to the concerns of the neighbors, have designed something that is responsive, uh, to their concerns, and I think tonight is about symbolism. Are you going to… make a symbolic move to assuage the fears of the neighbors when I have great confidence that this college wants to make it work for the neighbors, and I ask you to support the original proposal of 4,400 seats, and not reduce it down to 2,000… the impact differences are negligible as was just explained to us, factually, and in the original EIR… so what do we gain then, by reducing down to 2000 seats?
Besides reducing the vision, uh, for the future of Hornet athletics, and, uh, you saw already tonight, but I’m just going to highlight the colleges with which we compete: Mt. San Antonio has a stadium with 15,000; El Camino 12,000; Cerritos 11,000; Santa Ana 9,000; Saddleback College 8,000; Orange Coast 7,600; Southwestern Community College 7,275 and San Diego Mesa 5,000… I’m not even asking for that size… and the schools from which we recruit: Fullerton High School 5,000; Yorba Linda 4,000; Buena Park 3,900; La Habra 7,000; and, uh, as Dr. Schulz mentioned, uh, when Orange Coast, uh, Golden West moved away from Orange Coast their home attendance doubled. I think Fullerton College will attract a larger following for home football, soccer and track events, and we know, due to all the restrictions, that the events will be over early evening, except for one night perhaps per year, if weather causes us hot weather to have a football game in the early evening. I respectfully ask that you adopt a more robust vision for the future for Hornet athletics and for the college, I think, uh, if you with the scope of your vision and excellence of your coaches and supporters you can leave a bright future for Hornet athletics, and its partnerships with students, alumni and community and we’ll be most thankful, but I want to reiterate thank you for all the time that you’ve invested in this question.”
