SD homebuilding still in the dumps
Where is all the water going to come from for all these homes, of whatever type, being built? Are they really going to implement a 55 gallon-a-day limit per person/household as was recently suggested by the Govenor’s office? If so, why are we wasting millions on desalination?— August 14, 2018 10:06 p.m.
Smog checks come to San Diego
Freedom of association, or non association and, The rights of the people to be secured in their persons, their houses, their papers, and their other property, from all unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated by warrants issued without probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, or not particularly describing the places to be searched, or the persons or things to be seized. By stopping you from freely moving on a public roadway, the government has seized your property for inspection without a warrant justifying such seizure. Additionally, the government has not SPECIFICALLY explained nor provided reasonable suspicion why YOUR vehicle is in violation of any law.— August 13, 2018 8:12 a.m.
City leaders don’t mention “convention center”
Well that’s an overstatement. Rank and file city employees work hard serving the citizens who fund their salaries. These employees have neither the authority, or the power, to fix what politicians and upper management have caused.— August 11, 2018 5:52 p.m.
Filner's name defaced on Ingraham St. bridge
dwbat: Thank you for the general, yet imprecise, minutiae of the components of brass or bronze plaque which was purchased with taxpayer dollars and vandalized by an unknown suspect. It added much to the discussion. If you are correct that it’s a bronze plaque, then additional metals (such as aluminium, manganese, nickel or zinc) and sometimes non-metals or metalloids such as arsenic, phosphorus or silicon could have been used to create it. Not to mention any impurities, you know, foreign substances which may have contaminated the forging processes. Alas, without a scientific forensic analysis we will never know with certainty what it is.— August 10, 2018 1:35 p.m.
City leaders don’t mention “convention center”
Here’s a law the citizens of San Diego should pass. Former city officials, elected or appointed, are banned from lobbying, in any way, current city officials, elected or appointed, in any form whatsoever, for a period of no longer than twenty years. The framers of our republic intended for citizens to participate in public service and then to return to their private lives. Career politicians = malfeasance and corruption, we see it over and over.— August 10, 2018 8:37 a.m.

Smog checks come to San Diego
What’s voluntary when a member of state’s law enforcement agency stops you from traversing freely on a public roadway? I thought the whole idea of the state forcing vehicle owners into smog check stations every two years was to verify compliance! Doesn’t the number of “fails” at the smog test station tell us anything about compliance? This so-called voluntary check is another example of your rights being trampled upon.— August 10, 2018 7:22 a.m.
Filner's name defaced on Ingraham St. bridge
I’m offended that tax dollars are wasted on these plaques in the first place. All these people, the ones with their names are on the plaques, did was spend, and sometimes waste, other’s people money. Whoop-dee-do! Hey, Mr. Madriga, how about telling us how much these brass markers to politicians’ egos cost the taxpayers. I have no doubt the money would be spent more wisely repairing something else from the long list of unfunded infrastructure needs. Finally, if these plaques are necessary, and I doubt it, then a simple year marker and “Funded by the Taxpayers” statement would be more accurate.— August 10, 2018 7:08 a.m.
City leaders don’t mention “convention center”
So if this remains as the status quo, only the guys holding the 5th Avenue Landing Lease come out smelling like a 🌹rose, with money in the bank. Our accomplish nothing Mayor is once again revealed as the sycophant that he’s always been to the downtown interest and not the citizens. It time for Faulconer to call it a career and go back to the private sector where he’ll be ignored by the folks he likes to suck up to.— August 9, 2018 11:55 p.m.
City leaders don’t mention “convention center”
Maybe this is an indicator of how San Diegans really feel about this initiative. If so called *professional* signature gatherers cannot get people to sign up, why do our local politicians believe this thing would ever pass if given a full unbiased vote at the ballot box?— August 9, 2018 3:28 p.m.
