Shop cop questions immigration status of panhandler
"Shop cop questions immigration status of panhandler" So effing what??? This is "news"? One jerk says bad things to a panhandler, and what... we're all supposed to wring our hands and clutch our pearls and hand out money??? Nobody in this silly little tale comes off looking good, including the dopes who decided it somehow constituted "news".— November 15, 2017 9:16 a.m.
E-lynched in Barrio Logan
Next story will be bemoaning the "lack of investment in underprivileged neighborhoods". I'm sick and tired of whiny, chip-on-the-shoulder "minorities" out looking for an excuse to be outraged.— November 15, 2017 9:13 a.m.
Cops called over tenants' uprising
Being able to stay for a good six months without paying isn't "friendly" enough to you??? I'd like to see a system that's friendly to working, productive citizens instead of freeloaders.— October 28, 2017 2:40 p.m.
Case of teens swabbed for DNA at impasse
Something bad happened, and the obvious remedy is for me to collect hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars!— October 28, 2017 2:39 p.m.
City code harshing on Surf Check's mellow?
"Somebody else is doing something wrong over there!" isn't an excuse or a justification. If you're on the freeway, travelling with the flow of traffic at 85, not weaving around or passing or doing anything else wrong, you can still get a ticket. And while you're getting your ticket, everyone else will be whizzing by you at 85 MPH scot-free. Fair? Nope. But that's the way the world works.— October 23, 2017 10:21 a.m.
Crimes against Americans in Baja
Well said. I wish I could give multiple "thumbs up"!— October 23, 2017 10:15 a.m.
Escondido library to be run by Maryland company
Why do we need to hire people, keep them forever, pay an above-market salary, pay for benefits, and then pay for a lifetime pension to have a library? Why is it that someone who cannot be fired is somehow going to do a better job than someone who can, and therefore must work to keep their job? I love libraries, but public employment has become a morass that's dragging all of us to the bottom. Every single opportunity to privatize and outsource and reduce the endless, crushing burdens should be seized. Maybe one day we can get back to the model that worked... relatively low pay in exchange for job security and a modest pension. Until then, though, the trough-guzzling has got to be ended. We'll soon wind up with one government employee, the one who signs all the pension checks. We cannot let the past crowd out the present or the future.— October 23, 2017 10:02 a.m.
Short-term vacation rental explosion
Where are all of these new units supposed to go? Can there be no open, green space left anywhere? Is the vision of San Diego to be nothing but hundred-story apartment buildings crammed full of "low income" people who take more from the economy than they provide? Those who cannot afford to live here need to move. Period. No whining about "fairness" or "I've lived here X years" or "My family is from here" or "My dream has always been to live at the beach!" Nobody cares. Reality doesn't care. Most of the rest of the country has a much lower cost of living, and it's time for people to be adult about reality instead of whining for handouts.— October 23, 2017 9:54 a.m.
Short-term vacation rental explosion
It's "greed" when someone else does it. When you do it, it's a necessary way to get needed cash to pay your family's bills.— October 23, 2017 9:51 a.m.
Hepatitis A outbreak: Month 11 looms
Why is it that some are unable to comprehend the simple fact that the more "services" we provide, the more transients we get? The only rational response is to make San Diego LESS attractive. Move them on. Make it clear that, weather aside, San Diego is going to e a pretty miserable place to be a bum, and they're better off heading to LA or something. "Not here" is the only answer. We cannot solve the problem, but we can solve our problem.— September 26, 2017 4:43 a.m.
