New Linda Vista apartments welcomes present tenants
Clarification: It was the Linda Vista Planning group that initiated the request to the San Diego Housing Commission, asking for the existing residents to move to the top of the new applicant list, as long as they qualify for affordable housing. The commission not only said yes, but changed its policy and created a new position, the preservation coordinator, to work with residents displaced from existing inexpensive homes by affordable housing.— February 18, 2019 12:22 p.m.
LimeBike greases San Diego palms
What council member Scott Sherman directed the outgoing auditor to look for was resistance to development. He proposed consolidating neighborhood groups down to six so that, for example, people from Bankers Hill would make decisions about liquor stores in Encanto - and vice versa. That's fewer neighborhood planning groups than city council districts. https://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2018/may/02/c… So if all they found was that volunteers who donate time aren't great at keeping complex, pristine records, and they had to develop that into a narrative, well, duh. They'd find the same things in most volunteer groups and some city departments. Under departed auditor Edward Luna, auditing staff seemed to be signaling they weren't seeing the irrational resistance to development that Sherman wanted them to find. There's a recorded meeting where someone from the auditor's office tells Community Planners their groups could stop trying to gather the mountain of records the office had requested - and now they're being criticized for not producing records! Disclosure: I go to no less than 75 different planning group meetings a year as a reporter and am now on a planning group in my neighborhood. Our notes are thorough and beautifully written (not by me.)— January 2, 2019 11:44 p.m.

Zapf falls to Campbell
I heard John Witt testify under oath that his Point Loma home was worth somewhere around $54,000 - when Dick Murphy was mayor, I think. My memory is vague but for one thing: the house was worth $350,000 then, and I offered him $120,000 for it, explaining that was more than twice what he said it was worth. He glared at me and walked away.— November 22, 2018 11:28 p.m.
IB tries to calm fears of eminent domain
There's also a High Country Times article that set people's teeth on edge. It's hard to follow - it wasn't that long ago (2013) that SANDAG's sandbagging on Seacoast Drive caused flooding and everyone was against it, and now it's one of the ways to NOT turn to managed retreat. If I remember right, Mr. Dedina applauded the 'beach nourishment' in the failed transnet hike - after he stood with flooded condo associations in support of their lawsuit over the last one.— November 20, 2018 8:58 p.m.

Imperial Beach in the balance
This is a response to a Facebook post from Ms. Aguirre Bacalski that seems to have disappeared. The highlights include 'usual poor job of reporting' and 'bottom-feeding scum,' In case the Facebook thing shows up again, I'll just leave this here.— October 25, 2018 10:38 p.m.
Imperial Beach in the balance
Paloma, per the Registrar of Voters, you were registered to vote in La Mesa as a resident from October 2012 to February 2018. So were you truthful with them? Rumors abound because people who spoke to me aren't prepared to deal with an in-your-face confrontation. Which clearly is your style. Anything reported anonymously, I verified with at least two different sources.— October 25, 2018 6:22 p.m.
