UCSD hijacks our kids' futures
I've experienced the future of the UC system by traveling in the realm of public transit; For the past ten years in public transit everybody gets their raises/high level jobs while fares go up, service and ridership go down. For the next ten years, In the UC system everybody gets their raises and benefits while tuition, classroom size and number of out of stae students goes up and enrollment goes down.— November 3, 2011 10:15 a.m.

San Diego City Council Responds to County Grand Jury Assertion That New City Hall Is Unnecessary
In 1995 I lived in Cardiff, Calif. with a group of retired Teamsters all former members of the racetrack parking lot crew. Before filing for bankruptcy they borrowed everything they could- spent everything they could. Any cash was kept in the house. Bank account at less then ‘0’. Max credit cards and more came in mail. Same day loans against $2,500 monthly pension’s check-used white Plymouth Valiant down payment on credit card. Then all debts were cleared before a bankruptcy judge. Even got to keep car. Same policy is being followed by “functionally bankrupt” city of San Diego (new stadium, new $500 million library, new park, new fire station, new convention center, homeless consultant and staff at $464,750 a year to provide “technical assistance”, $27 million dollar Petco Pedestrian Walkway, 100 millon dollar loan, new city hall)) All debts will be erased by bankruptcy judges’ ruling that city sales tax will be increased 2% without a public vote to cover debt.— October 5, 2011 3:23 p.m.

Firefighters Extinguish Couch on Ocean Beach Street
Ocean Beach is just a drive by for commercial airlines and the San Diego police. Baghdad car patrol. The cops don't even stop to eat in OB. Coffee and donuts while steering and peering at the freaks. "Taxi driver" in black and whites.. No visual police street presents in OB, except, perhaps presents for that same group of “taxi drivers" constantly congregating outside two local stores laden with bottled beer and liquor for sale. Street present are the crusty winos. Cardboard mats, cardboard colored beer bags, cardboard colored clothing, cardboard colored hair, skin, sand and lovers. Fashion by ‘ beersun&wind’. Toothless mouths squirt saliva and alcoholic juiced slang when probing for spare change and romance. The OB library always has more people working behind the counter then public available 1hr computers. Two bus lines the #35 and 923 with brake happy chauffeurs tram the noisy sailors, reading students, silent workers, seniors with their bus pass hanging around their neck and smelly circus freaks in and out of town. The corner of Cable and Newport Ave looks like the greyhounded public transit center of OB. Peoples market is the spiritual center of OB. The juice there is a $1 cup of organic COFFEE made with filtered water, sweetened with amber avocado honey and chalky soymilk. The pier is the wild habitat center of OB. Pelicans perching on the railings for discarded fish heads, whales and dolphins for sightings and the surfers tubing through the pier’s concrete pilings for danger. There are more liquor stores owned by Arabs in Ocean Beach then African Americans. The lone New York Jewish woman rides her 1958 bike with big tires around town, the fenders rattle. The gentile women have trucks or SUVs, arms tattooed from wrist to shoulder, wear flip-flops, wool caps and totes big dogs on chains. If as you kneel and pet; the dog sniffs and likes you, well the gentile ladies pick out and buy themselves flowers at OB's farmer market every Wednesday. The gods blessed Ocean Beach with good air quality, a Mediterranean climate, a wicked riptide and no senior center. The beach has more trash left on it then any in the states. If the Surfrider’s foundation didn't volunteer to clean up the beach the morning after July 4th Ocean Beach would be closed. Yet, millions are spent by the city on earthmovers shifting piles of seaweed and sand around the beach. Disrupting the morning calm while eschewing the trash bobbing on the edge of our world.— September 23, 2011 9:06 a.m.
