Matthew Philbin — landlord to the homeless
I appreciate *The Reader* covering stories of good news such as this. Although he is no longer hidden, Mr. Philbin is truly one of the righteous.— March 26, 2018 7:26 p.m.
High stakes for Lorena and Nathan
The Dems **really** need to pull it together: **no** party can still afford to flood the primaries with candidates now that we have a 'top-two-take-all' system. This is how we ended up with Kev-boy as mayor, and how we will end up with Bonnie Donothing as a supe.— March 23, 2018 3:59 p.m.
Dockless bikes and hepatitis
We saw the same [article in *The Atlantic*][1], but you beat me to it. Given how many millions of abandoned bikes appear in those photos, I would imagine it'd be less expensive in the long run to just give them away. [1]: https://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2018/03/bike-sh…— March 23, 2018 3:10 p.m.
Don't tell them you are a reporter
As I've [commented before][1], even when you *know* what you're looking for exists, there's no enforcement mechanism to compel performance. The idea that this moratorium, a major city-wide policy directive, happened without some kind of paper or electronic trail, is simply not credible. But this does prove that [the NextRequest initiative][2] by Kev-boy is like all of his other 'actions'—no substance, just spin.

Born and NIMBY
As usual, it all depends on whose ox is getting gored. If he weren't affected personally, he wouldn't have made all that effort—or expected the system to work *for him* as a VIP. The key question is: will he remember this when reviewing decisions opposed by the community but approved over their objections by the developer-stacked planning commission?— March 21, 2018 12:42 p.m.
Does Nati's new owner have his eye on nearby parcels?
Sadly, Julie, I've found that there are a number of naysayers on here hellbent on eliminating anything if it has the tag *historic*. Whatever evidence is presented, nothing trumps their misinformed "opinion" over [every objective standard][1]. Doesn't matter how often you point out there's [no reason to their arguments][2]; they just revel in being contrary, like children giddy at their own naughtiness in saying "poopy" and "peepee" over and over again.

Trump blocks hostile Qualcomm takeover
Guess even a blind dog *can* find a bone: finally Trump did something right.— March 12, 2018 5:30 p.m.
None
The last paragraph of that *VoSD* piece sounds very relevant to this new lawsuit: >Habib does use a tow yard out of Chula Vista now, though. Four years ago, that city cited him for operating the yard without city approval and for building an office without a permit. He still hasn’t resolved everything. Habib owes the city of Chula Vista more than $20,000 and the fines are growing by the day. It seems there's a pattern to some immigrants who make it big [claiming discrimination when called out for bad behavior][1]. (And begs the question how they could have made it big, if such bias is as outrageous and pervasive as they claim.) But mostly, this hurts those who really do suffer having their claims doubted as yet another one of "them" crying wolf. Time to come up with a less sleazy strategy to distract from their illegal activities. [1]: https://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2018/feb/04/t…— March 12, 2018 4:30 p.m.
Can't blame North Chapel plan on Corky
Nothing is more silly than your "thumbs up" voting for your own comments.— March 9, 2018 9:04 a.m.
Can't blame North Chapel plan on Corky
That's not only an admission that you haven't offered any facts to back up *your* "opinion," but a request that we overlook that failing and agree with you anyway. I don't know what nuns rapped your knuckles but, damn, quit trying to take it out on a legitimate historic landmark.— March 8, 2018 9:53 p.m.
