Fate of Chargers predicted

There are some great comments in this thread. Good work all around. I completely agree with the perception that even local sports talk radio is slowly coming around to the reality that a publicly financed stadium is the scam of all scams. When the local sports talk radio programs start to show doubts about stadium financing...that is when you know the citizens are really getting the shaft. The loss of tailgating and gouging for the concessions is a great point as well. And anyone who was down at Comic-Con last week may have noticed the $30 Ace Parking lot fees. Well double that, and you may get what a parking space to attend a Chargers game in the East Village would have cost, or perhaps even in the new Mission Valley location, since more fans will have to park off-site since plans call for a massive development of retail, condos etc on much of the current parking lot. In John Oliver's stadium piece, he highlighted how in the most current version of the Madden NFL videogame, you could act as an owner and choose concessions prices etc. That is the true game being played here. Football is just the front. If owners could pull this scam with professional badminton games they would do it. No matter how much people love their NFL teams, they are basically enthralled with something that is leased to their city. There is no connection besides the city's name on the jerseys and the geographic location of the stadium. The new facet of the game is the drive to replace stadiums at an almost dizzying rate. It may be the ultimate undoing of the current system. Once enough cities go into major debt in an effort to retain their football teams, other cities will become reluctant to make the same sacrifice. It's already happening here. People have seen the data. They know what is up. If the Chargers get rejected from playing in LA (which they obviously without a doubt are intent on doing now) they have to crawl back to San Diego looking like the awful guy who is trying to make nice with his great ex-girlfriend who he dumped to pursue a fashion model. It's not gonna be all rainbows and lollipops when they get back together. As for the bigger picture of stadium financing, if the NFL is going to keep asking for public money to fund stadiums, they are eventually going to have to cut cities in on the profits. I have always thought letting the stadium take all the ticket sales and giving the cities all the parking proceeds would be a great system, but getting owners to give up any of their take seems like an almost impossible bargain at this point.

Vinyl avalanche!

Crazy to think that you were pushing a ton of weight with that collection. Is this a good argument for the cassette revival? Massive cassette collections are less likely to break a car axle or cave in a floor. Plus...they don't scratch! They always seem to sound like crap after a year of play, and they will melt on your dashboard in Vegas, and you may have to slide a pack of matches in-between your cassette and the tape-deck so the cassette actually plays correctly...but they won't break your house, store, or automobile!

Tommie on the comeback

I read about this program when it began and thought it was a good idea. It seems to have worked as well. One number that wasn't mentioned (but was implied) was that each of the 36 participants averaged about $97,222.00 per year if I did my math correctly. Yes, those emergency room bills certainly pile-up minus insurance. At the time the program started though, a common gripe was that it actually rewarded the most chronic homeless offenders who displayed the worst behavior. One could argue smearing feces all over yourself to keep the police away is an example of this. The thinking was that it sort of encouraged bad behavior because the more of a burden you became to society, the more likely you were to be selected for this program. If the program continues (which it probably should since it benefits both the local tax-payers and the individuals it quite literally "saves") it would be smart to offer its services to a wider variety of the area homeless. These individuals may not be the money-savers that the chronic, worst-offenders are, but they certainly deserve a second chance as well. It's just like High School: the under-achievers and the over-achievers get all the attention, while the kids in the middle slip through the cracks.

Open-door Airbnb in Burlingame

"San Diego is becoming one big HOA." Now that is a statement of truth. If you want to live in a neighborhood with minimal out-of-state plates, annoying parking regulations, tons of rules regarding visitation, and a gazillion other nit-picky by-laws designed for perfect conformity just move to one of the many gated-communities in the area. You will absolutely love it! Their HOA rules and regulations will fit your agenda perfectly. The HOA fees...perhaps not so much. In short, this isn't Animal House in the middle of a retirement community. This is occasional visitors with out-of-state plates, who, for whatever reason, are just too much for the neighbors to handle.

Vespa Guy, please park however you want

We deal with motorcycles parked sandwiched between cars and our driveway all the time. One day, I backed out and hit one and knocked it over. I just didn't see it at all because our driveway is on a hill, and the bike was pretty much parked in the driveway. I can see them in my side mirrors on either side of the car, but this one was in a blindspot. I knocked it over, and called the cops figuring that the owner of the motorcycle would be at fault since the bike was literally in our driveway, parked illegally. Well I learned my lesson. No matter how illegally the bike is parked, if you knock it over, you are responsible for damages. My auto insurance rates have been jacked up $40 per month this year due to this incident. The bike was a total old piece of crap as well...so the owner may have just placed it there in the hopes that some sucka (myself) would knock it over, total it, and get them some extra dough for a new ride. The moral to this story is I have no problem with notes like this being plastered all over mopeds or motorcycles that park this way.

Not in my backyard canyon

The idea of adding public restrooms geared towards the homeless to fire stations is very interesting. I guess a critic could argue that having too many homeless congregating around a fire station could result in delays when emergency fire service is actually necessary though. The city has set up the "homeless check-in" which is basically a parking lot which serves as a storage facility for the belongings of the local homeless. Maybe another parking lot could be dedicated to provide twenty or so porta-potties so the area homeless aren't as likely to use the sidewalks as a toilet. I was walking around the (once) potential downtown stadium site last week, and most of the stroll was spent in a cloud of stale urine.

Wired for sound

I would like to add here that although I did list the Casbah as being involved in a direct, potentially bloody feud to the death with The Observatory, it is in fact the case that the Casbah's booking operation is responsible for many of the fantastic shows heading to The Observatory this year. The same benefit will be felt by The Irenic, Soda Bar, The Belly Up and others as well. Perhaps the situation here is more akin to the scenario involving the New Day Co-Op on The Wire. In this scenario, The Casbah would assume the dueling roles of both Proposition Joe and Baltimore's out of town heroin suppliers (The Greeks). On The Wire, the level-headed Proposition Joe ("Prop Joe" as he was lovingly referred to as by his numerous colleagues) created the Co-Op in order to reduce the on-going violence between rival neighborhood gangs (San Diego venues) which was resulting in too much incursion by the local cops. I guess the cops cracking down on these operations doesn't really fit here, since booking rock bands in San Diego isn't nearly as illegal as selling heroin in Baltimore is. One could argue that a long-dormant local statute that forbids the booking of rock bands would make the entire city of San Diego the equivalent of the Hamsterdam experiment on Season Three of The Wire, but the likelihood of this being true is obviously only 60 percent at best. In other words, the local police aren't ignoring laws by allowing rock shows to be booked since so many people are already addicted to booking rock shows. There is no chronic "booking rock shows" epidemic that has ruined the lives of thousands of the citizens in this fine city. No stray bullet has taken out an innocent grandmother when a booking agent miscalculated his aim during a drive-by and just missed the rival venue owner who was on his phone with the manager of Grizzly Bear regarding "squeezing in a date between Phoenix and LA." The only individual I can think of in this city that has been horribly affected by the booking of rock bands is that one person in Hillcrest that relentlessly called the cops to complain about the volume of the live bands at the (now closed) San Diego Sports Club. That person's life was definitely negatively affected by the booking of rock bands. Back to the matter at hand, the moral to this comment is that The Observatory and The Casbah play nice. They are more Frog and Toad than Hulk Hogan and The Iron Sheik. More Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder than Optimus Prime and Megatron. And, yes, even more Lester and McNulty than Avon and Marlo.

City to retake De Anza Cove real estate

I was wondering this as well @ Edward Price. Looks like there are 509 lots in the park, so if it is completely occupied, each resident will receive $62,868.37. That doesn't seem all that great for that piece of real-estate! The original $22 million would have left each owner (in the same scenario) with $43,222.00. I am glad the home-owners held out for the better deal. I can only imagine how much of a headache a relocation like this could be.

Raze the arena?

The 'OOOOOOOOO!!! I hope the Sports Arena never gets bulldozed. I've seen some great large concerts here. The Who, Neil Young, Roger Waters...plus what would happen to the swap meet, and Chick-Fil-A, and Chilli's, and the gas station with the awesome beverage selection, and, potentially Phil's? Does Faulconer really wanna have the blood on his hands from a possible relocation of Phil's? The city would be in an uproar! Conclusion, keep the Sports Arena, keep the swap meet, keep the Chick-Fil-A, keep the Chilli's, keep the gas station with the awesome beverage selection, and don't even think about moving Phil's...they have the greatest beef ribs in the United States.

Ken Cinema remains a Landmark in every sense

I will admit to laughing so hard that I was crying through about the first 20 minutes, but once they settled into the strip mall story the laughs got thin pretty quick. Similar to their show, the film was very hit or miss. I think I was expecting them to top their TV show, or at least make the film a greatest hits collection a la And Now For Something Completely Different. They went for broke with (obviously) no budget and all new material and obtained results just good enough to make the film worth watching. Oh yeah, that end sequence was hella funny now that I think of it. Sooooo...good bread but thin meat on this movie sandwich.
