Why Was Chicanos Por La Causa Chosen to Buy the Mesa YMCA?
Executive Summary
- The story of the closure of the Mesa YMCA is covered in very politically correct terms.
- Here is the story that no media entity wanted to tell.
Introduction
The YMCA of Mesa AZ was closed in Dec of 2018. This YMCA was built in 1963 (from 2018, 55 years), and it was considered a good gym and community center. This article will cover why it had to close, its current status, and who owns it now.
The Media Coverage
The following information was provided about the YMCA of Mesa AZ by AZCentral.
“The Valley of the Sun YMCA had long weighed closing the Mesa Family location near downtown because of declining membership over the past 15 years, said Peyton Tune, the organization’s chief operating officer.”
However, AZCentral did not say why. The population has only increased over this time. However, the community became strongly Hispanic. And this leads to financial problems.
“There are 1,400 monthly membership units at the Mesa Family location, said Katie Smetana, vice president of operations. That includes individual members; family units comprised of two adults and any minor children living in the household; more than 450 students from Benedictine University; and 350 insurance based-members like the SilverSneakers.
Of those 1,400 monthly membership units, 657 are considered “major units” with multiple members, Smetana said.
But the number of major units has declined by 150 since January 2016, she said.
That has led to a reduction in services and staff at the location over the past few years, she said.
In addition to declining membership, a large percentage of members have memberships partially subsidized by the organization, Smetana said.
Of the 657 major units, 497, or about 76 percent, are part of a subsidized membership program or receive financial assistance, she said.
She said one of the organization’s founding principles is to never turn away anyone because of an inability to pay. But while that is a community benefit, the organization is losing money.
Tune said declining membership and the high ratio of members whose memberships are subsidized by the Y ultimately led executive leaders and the board of directors to shutter the Mesa Family location.”
The Hispanic population replaced Caucasians in the area who had attended the YMCA branch. This was apparent as a number of the members of the branch could only speak Spanish and could not read, write or speak English.
Later in the AZCentral article, YMCA provides a misleading statement.
“”We think this is the most equitable solution to continue to advance Y services in Mesa just at a different street address,” he said.”
This is misleading because the Mesa branch was closed, and the members routed to other YMCAs.
Who Purchased the Mesa Family YMCA?
The answer to this question is curious, as it was Hispanics who lead to the Mesa Family YMCA’s demise.
So who bought the facility. AZCentral answers this.
“Tune said leaders wanted to sell the building to a “like-minded” organization that would continue serving the community rather than sell to a developer.
Chicanos Por La Causa, a non-profit social services and community development organization, was a perfect fit, he said. CPLC announced the acquisition of the 40,000-square-foot building on its website. The organization said it will temporarily close the Mesa Family location to conduct a community needs assessment and will reopen the building in early 2019.”
It is presently almost June of 2019, and the facility has not been reopened, and a visit to the facility shows that the gym equipment has not even been moved from this location. Whatever the plans for the building, six months later, it appears that nothing has been done.
Who is Chicanos Por La Causa?
Housing, Economic Development, Health and Human Services, and Workforce. Their websites state they operate in Arizona, New Mexico, and Nevada, but their Nevada website was down when we checked it. Their combined Arizona and New Mexico website traffic is meager.
The biggest state of operation for Chicanos Por La Causa is Arizona.
Chicanos Por La Causa appears only to hire Hispanics for its top jobs. Where is the diversity in this hiring? One would think that Chicanos Por La Causa would support diversity. Isn’t diversity supposed to be a strength? Or is that only diversity when it is related to increasing Hispanic hiring? It is all very confusing. Let us just say that Chicanos Por La Causa position on diversity is variable.
Chicanos Por La Causa supports Dreamers, who under US law should be deported, and appears to support illegal immigration (of Hispanics — there are no images of Africans or Asians or Europeans). Chicanos Por La Causa claims superior illegal immigrant rights for Hispanics over the immigrant rights of all non-Hispanic groups.
In this way, Chicanos Por La Causa can be considered a racist organization that seeks to parasitize the white society by bringing in as many illegal aliens as possible. Naturally, why nearly all Mexicans want to leave Mexico will not be a topic of conversation at Chicanos Por La Causa.
Chicanos Por La Causa claims to provide mental health treatment and support for things like domestic violence. And they need it. Because Hispanics engage in a lot of domestic violence.
But while the need is high, Chicanos Por La Causa is called into question.
The online reviews of Chicanos Por La Causa call into question how good of a job Chicanos Por La Causa does in providing mental health services.
This following review warns all non-Hispanics from seeking services at this organization.
Utter incompetence has not negatively impacted Chicanos Por La Causa’s financial situation.
Chicanos Por La Causa has $53.5 million in total assets and $75.6 million in yearly revenue. That is quite a lot of revenue, where is it all coming from?
The majority must be coming from taxes and from donations.
Incompetence has not stopped Chicanos Por La Causa from raising money from large corporate donors. When these organizations give money to Chicanos Por La Causa, are they aware they are supporting an organization that supports illegal immigration? None of these organizations care — they just want to virtue signal.
This video is amusing or sad, depending upon your perspective. The video shows these corporate donors vouching for Chicanos Por La Causa and talking in circles about what Chicanos Por La Causa has “allowed them to do.” There seems to be little interest in actually checking that Chicanos Por La Causa is good at what it does. No doubt, each of the corporate donors receives some positive PR for “uplifting” the community, and therefore, doesn’t care if Chicanos Por La Causa is effective. The objective is to obtain PR collateral, and Chicanos Por La Causa has a Hispanic name, and therefore it sounds like a good cause.
Why Sell to Chicanos Por La Causa?
Chicanos Por La Causa appears to be an incompetent pro-Hispanic/pro-illegal immigration entity that is living off of the public nipple. Let us review a quote from the YMCA at the time of the sale.
“Tune said leaders wanted to sell the building to a “like-minded” organization that would continue serving the community rather than sell to a developer.”
How does Chicanos Por La Causa qualify as a good buyer for the YMCA? When Tune made this comment, did he check the reviews for this organization?
Let us review a further quote from the time of the sale.
“Chicanos Por La Causa, which purchased the building, is conducting a community-needs assessment and plans to reopen the facility early next year.”
The facility, except for the removal of the YMCA sign, looks unchanged from when it was purchased and is still closed. Does the YMCA think that it was a good choice to sell to Chicanos Por La Causa now that the facility has been closed for 1/2 year and could be closed indefinitely?
Does that serve the needs of the Mesa community?
The YMCA Location: A Wasting Asset
We were able to find the rough leasing cost of the building from the Coldwell Banker website.
Chicanos Por La Causa is not renting the facility; they own it. However, the capital cost of financing the building would be somewhat less than this. But the fact is that Chicanos Por La Causa is not obtaining income from the building, and we think this monthly cost is simply falling to the taxpayers that are funding Chicanos Por La Causa. Chicanos Por La Causa lacks the competence to run the endeavors they already have.
But with $53.5 million in net assets, and no doubt they receive all manner of subsidized loans from the government because they are “community-focused” (at the expense of all non-Hispanic communities) Chicanos Por La Causa will barely notice this monthly cost and can keep the facility closed indefinitely.
The Repeating Pattern of Non-White Immigration to White Countries
Conclusion
The closure of the Mesa Family YMCA was only covered from one dimension by AZCentral, and AZCentral covered Chicanos Por La Causa in another article, which was another superficial article that shows that AZCentral has no interest in informing its readers.
The Mesa Family YMCA was ruined by the encroachment of Hispanics. This eventually parasitized the YMCA until it was no longer financially viable. The increased Hispanic membership also made the club less desirable (I know as I saw it decline as I was a resident of Mesa and went to this YMCA for many years.) Since this time, it was purchased by a pro-Hispanic, and pro-Hispanic immigration entity that only appears hires Hispanics for its senior positions because to Chicanos Por La Causa, the benefits of diversity are flexible depending upon whether it creases Hispanic employment.
Chicanos Por La Causa is widely reported to be incompetent, and AZ state should probably look into pulling their license to provide mental health services. If they are delivering services incompetently, particularly for mental health, then they are worsening the condition of those that come to see them versus other alternatives the patients could avail themselves. Chicanos Por La Causa appears to be raising money based upon the fact they are Hispanic, rather than being good at anything.
For an entity with $75 million in yearly revenues, has close to no interest from the community through their website. This is extremely odd, as there should be many things that a community-focused entity could use websites to engage those that they serve. This shows that the claims that they make in their annual report and on their website are highly exaggerated. One of their websites was entirely down when we researched this article.
All of this indicates that a very large amount of their year’s expenditures are wasted, and would classify them as a parasite charitable organization. That is, they raise money by making promises, but then no one checks as to whether those promises are fulfilled. This was an odd choice for the YMCA to sell the Mesa facility.
