The dirty tricks of North River Farms
Just FYI, to follow up on Cassander, SLAPP stands for Strategic Litigation Against Public Participation - In other words. lawsuits meant to make people shut up. It's a powerful defense that specifically mentions petitioning and under many conditions, people can and do have their attorney fees paid when they have to defend themselves against lawsuits meant to make them shut up and go away. The First Amendment Coalition has resources for people facing SLAPP attacks, and the courts are generally pretty good about recognizing them.

Former San Diego Union-Tribune publisher unloading wife and La Jolla estate
Thank you, Matt Potter, for a real scoop on a story that gives us all a little schadenfreude.— January 22, 2020 7:14 p.m.
Homes at end of Oceanside Blvd. claim emergency
Ken, great story. The Coastal Commission, like a lot of regulators, moves at glacial speed but they do move. I'd be careful not to assume they are doing nothing. Since their enforcement is civil and not criminal, there's a lot of work involving aligning laws, regulations, codes and plans, and the many entities with jurisdiction. Staff can't always talk about enforcement actions, especially those that haven't become public by being filed. I wonder if the owners of these huge projects are politically adept as well..... Are these condos or vacation rentals?— December 13, 2019 11:23 a.m.

Children’s pool ramp fight flares up
San Diego provided this comment: The 30-inch tall retaining wall, located between the posts of the existing gate, was necessary to protect the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant access ramp to the restrooms from the exposed bluff and prevent further erosion. As indicated by the Site and Coastal Development permit, the project provided emergency vehicle access to the beach and pedestrian access to the lower level accessible restrooms and showers. Please note that Lifeguards from the Fire-Rescue Department don’t have a need to get access to that point of the beach with vehicles. If a water rescue is necessary, they use the seawall (on foot) versus going through the gate. Great photo, Chris Woo!— May 29, 2019 5:34 p.m.
Cavalier mobilehome owners in Oceanside tripped up trying to sell
Ken, thank you for doing this story and shining a light on a world few of us know anything about - and some scurrilous behavior.— April 9, 2019 11:33 p.m.
San Elijo Lagoon temporary road headed for permanence
Doug Gibson, from the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy, responded to a request for his thoughts, saying the conservancy takes no position on the road but its staff and supporters oppose the proposal for a trail that would start there.— March 24, 2019 3:32 p.m.
San Diego city council members have distinct goals for city money
Council President Georgette Gomez suggests railing the current storm drain fee of 95 cents per month, calculating that each dollar increase in fees equals $6 million in new revenue. “For instance, an increase to $5 per parcel per month would generate an additional $30 million per year to address storm water needs,” her report says. I should have put this much higher: a regressive tax masquerading as a fee.— March 18, 2019 10:04 a.m.
