San Diego's got diversity
Je ne parle pas français, but I've been there a few times. My kinda folks.— October 7, 2015 4:38 p.m.
...and El Niño could cost billions
And do "knowledgeable San Diegans" now recognize that the runoff coefficient increases with development that does not engineer zero runoff into their projects?— October 7, 2015 10:56 a.m.
...and El Niño could cost billions
Oy VEY! Mission Valley again! Where did you find the "knowledgeable" San Diegans? How many? Where were they when Charlie and Roscoe and the others decided that the "highest and best use" for the San Diego riverbed was shopping centers and condos and that farming and grazing were lower and worse uses for the land, not to mention that before that, it was full of free fish for the taking, ducks, deer, etc., a veritable supermarket for us and the other animals?— October 7, 2015 10:54 a.m.

San Diego's got diversity
Yeah, and they don't even break a sweat.— October 7, 2015 9:33 a.m.
Rocky for president in 2016?
When it hits the fan, those states will be ceded to Mexico, and President Trump will have to force Mexico to build a new wall. It's only logical, right?— October 6, 2015 10:01 p.m.

...and El Niño could cost billions
As Abe Muñoz points out, if you engineer something stupid, you will have to suffer the consequences. Not only has San Diego built in its riverbeds (Mission "Valley" is no valley, it's a RIVER!) and lined and narrowed artificial channels to facilitate such "engineering" idiocy, making them high-velocity death-traps, it continues to ignore the fact that natural hills and dales and flatlands are prevented from absorbing water by development in the watersheds. There is a widely-known, but just as widely ignored concept in land development called "zero runoff." As are other common-sense alternatives to the central theme of expediency that dominates our relationship with the land and its waters. Tw PS: That map is a joke!— October 6, 2015 9:50 p.m.

State coastal commission bonkers?
I'm predicting mounting piles of nuclear waste amounting to a mountain that will slowly render more and more of the earth less and habitable until it's all gone. Ye who would seek wisdom would do well to dwell in humor: A farmer who won the lottery was asked what he would do with all that money. "I reckon I'll jest keep farmin' 'till it's all gone!"— October 6, 2015 10:09 a.m.
