Mission Valley shows the appeal of the mall
A few may come along. For retailers to be successful in a mall setting they require a lot of traffic. Go to any large mall, Grossmont Center, Parkway Plaza, Mission Valley, etc. and you will see little foot traffic except for a few days a week. A small retailer can not afford the cost of being in a mall. Every mall has more and more empty spaces and no takers. To survive all malls will have to reinvent themselves. Some will be successful others will give way to other kinds of development.— January 13, 2020 6:43 a.m.
Jen Campbell constituents urged to email her
I am sure the she is working hard for those who financed her campaign. Follow the money and you will find who owns and operates her. Just another political puppet for those with money.— January 9, 2020 8:45 a.m.
Spin scooters, too good to be true
Except in a few places the electric bike and scooter craze will go the way of other great ideas that didn't work in the real world.— January 9, 2020 8:42 a.m.
San Diego Convention Center vote under-funded so far
The San Diego "leaders" have always thought small. When the convention center was proposed it was too small. When they had the chance to expand they failed to act. The prevailing attitude seems to be that San Diego is just a small town. This thinking is born out by our inadequate Police Department. San Diego is a large city with all the problems of any other large city but with the small town mentality of leadership.— January 9, 2020 8:39 a.m.
San Diego's granny flats were last year
Apparently the thinking is that with the addition of granny flats and companion units that this will somehow lower the rents for everyone. I doubt that there will be enough of these units built to make any impact on housing. These rental units will command market rate so those who can not afford a studio/one bedroom apartment will not be able to afford these either. The service sector pays so little that the average service worker can not afford even the basic shelter. The low wage, low/no benefit employers rely on taxpayer funded welfare programs to augment their cost of employees and boost their profits at the expense of taxpayers. Go to any neighborhood where there are apartments or duplex/triplex units and the parking is a giant problem.— January 9, 2020 8:34 a.m.
Bloomberg and Jacobs open San Diego TV ad wars

The life and death of Oceanside mobile homes
There are a few, very few, mobile home parks where the land is owned by the residents. The reason that no mobile home parks have been built is because the Golden State Mobile Home Association has made it impossible for a landowner to build a mobile home park. The Association was formed in 1962 to protect the rights of mobile home owners and the have done such a great job that the park owner has no rights. Also "back-in-the-day" property was cheap and the cost of a mobile home was much less than a stick built home.— January 4, 2020 7:35 a.m.
Mexican minimum wage raised to $6.50 a day
There is no such thing as a no/low skilled job. If you think that someone who is a janitor or hotel maid or fast food worker has no skills or their skills are low then try doing their job. Of course some skills demand higher wages but those who work in the lower wage jobs need employer paid benefits (healthcare & pension) more than those in higher paid jobs. In reality the service sector employers are relying on the taxpayer to subsidize their profits by providing welfare benefits to their employees. Visduh is correct that many people from across the border work in the service sector because the "low" pay is greater than what they could earn in Mexico. Low wage no/low benefit employers are investing in future poverty.— January 4, 2020 7:27 a.m.
Mexican minimum wage raised to $6.50 a day
Mexico is what Republicans want the US to become a mecca of poverty, low wage no/low benefit jobs and cardboard slums.— January 1, 2020 6:53 a.m.
