Turn it back into a riverbed. Make it into an artificial reef off-shore. In a few years that may be the way it ends up anyway.— August 19, 2016 5:08 p.m.

Ok, let's get hot on the bumper-stickers and protest signs. Dis Chargers! Charger-Shock! StayDeUmm . . . Ban the OverChargers! etc, etc.— August 19, 2016 5:06 p.m.

This is another fact that should be repeated, ad infinitum!— August 19, 2016 4:58 p.m.

"The City" probably is. The citizens should be ready for a last-minute hoax (in addition to the devious word-twisting) and throw the liars out of office.— August 19, 2016 4:03 p.m.

KEEP SAYING THIS OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN . . . AND AGAIN, AD INFINITUM REPETITION, REPETITION, REPETITION! "In virtually every billionaire stadium scam, the number of jobs to be created will be grossly inflated, the stadium cost will be underestimated, government financing mechanisms will be concealed and understated. The leagues have a playbook that owners follow. Almost always there is a threat to depart if the voters don't come through." "The biggest lie is that tourists will pay for the stadium. The hundreds of millions of dollars that will go into subsidizing the stadium through the huge increase in the hotel tax would be used for critical infrastructure and neighborhood upgrades if the money weren't being stolen for a billionaire's stadium." Is there anything more of substance to be said? If so, add it to this and CAMPAIGN! These kinds of scum-scams have succeeded over and over, largely because people believed that they would not.— August 18, 2016 10:37 p.m.

But . . . I'm not giving money to ANY organization that isn't up-front with their financials and who is behind it--PERIOD! You're right--I don't trust anybody.— August 17, 2016 3:58 p.m.

The concept illustration. Fireworks (deadly air pollution, though slow, and the glimmering rays, and the excess, and the slime behind it. Spanos is right out of Central Casting.— August 17, 2016 3:55 p.m.

The trees had to go
Historic or not, trees, like all other life, must eventually fall. Official "designation" does not keep them from falling. The relevant question is whether or not trees should be removed before or after they fall. San Diego's trees are getting older, as we all are. Most of them have been neglected. Many of them are potentially dangerous. The Torrey Pine "saved" on Long Branch has been gradually tipping over. Many of its big supporting lateral roots have been cut off. The rest are pulling down the adjacent properties' retaining walls and buckling the sidewalk. Some sidewalk buckling is caused by the increase in root girth as the tree does its thing. But in this case, the buckling is also caused by the gradual uprooting of the remaining lateral support roots (Clue: the buckling is opposite the direction of lean). Streets are not good places to plant trees that get too big. Root-pruning should be outlawed. That's what happened on Nimitz before that huge Torrey pine fell, killing a woman (if justice is done, we will pay many millions through our taxes for our irresponsible management and our refusal to allow its removal). We will either manage our urban forests properly or have to pay higher and higher taxes to "compensate" victims and their families as our trees get bigger and older.— August 15, 2016 10:49 p.m.
