Argument over Sunset Cliffs deck comes to a head
Nice to know Paul Robinson works pro bono on these important issues.— April 6, 2016 2:11 p.m.
Little Italy restaurant makes noise over Civic San Diego tactics
There is already a mechanism in place for handling all these issues - it's called the City of San Diego. Contracting out government services may work for street repairs, but no so well for governing. Using this example, none of the constraints in place in the city of San Diego for contracting for things like street repairs flow down to CIvic San Diego, who can pretty much contract out as they please, or do as they please. And yes, our City Attorney must have said that this is all perfectly legal, based on information from our city employees. The Superior Court Case and subsequent appeals are also going to be interested in this police involvement on behalf of a private contractor.— March 28, 2016 6:59 p.m.
Civic San Diego sued by its own boardmember
Giving Civic San Diego the powers vested in the municipal government is the single worst action the City of San Diego government has ever taken. The government in this country is vested in our elected representation and our city charter. We are a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. All of these words have been forgotten in San diego.— March 26, 2016 5:47 p.m.
City bucks for “twinkle lights”
Everyone who lives there pays for the lights through special assessments. We do not hear if that is how they would have chosen to spend their money, given the opportunity to decide for themselves. The MADs and PBIDs write the checks, and decide who gets the contract to install them. The city reimburses them. They start with a fixed amount from the assessment funds, which is replenished through these reimbursements. Twinkle away!— March 18, 2016 6:47 p.m.
Lifeguard to run for mayor
Hard to imagine how an honest and truth-speaking candidate will set with San Diego voters used to the status quo.— March 2, 2016 5:03 a.m.
Who wants a new Mission Beach lifeguard tower again?
Let's see. The Mission Beach locals are paying with THEIR money, and the city is paying with OUR money. The locals may eventually get some money back from, it turns out, the rest of us, the ones who give it to the city. What exactly would the city lose by accepting the court decision? Well, they didn't win, and that makes them cross. You do not want to annoy the city. That is what they are telling all of us.— February 28, 2016 12:48 p.m.
War rages on against apartment project
Look up Capstone Development Partners on the Internet - http://www.capdevpartners.com/ You will get a good look at what is coming your way, with elegant view of Cornish Commons in Seattle, WA, an "enduring piece of living art and place where all Cornish students can gather to live and learn." No mention of where Cornish students can park, however. Only living and learning required.— February 20, 2016 10:35 a.m.
A matter bigger than the city attorney
There's always the telephone, of course. Any reputable drug dealer could probably help our politicians with mechanisms for private communications. It is only a lack of imagination that restricts them to email.— February 17, 2016 8:07 a.m.
Window dressing on Truax House...meh
Unfortunately, suing the city is the only way to get them to follow state law. This is not as easy to do as it might seem, but the frequency with which it occurs should be an indicator to our city government at the people's frustration level with city management. Thank you to the Reader for keeping the rest of us informed.— February 11, 2016 6:06 p.m.
This could be the best bread in the universe
We tried Pacific Time based on your review, and it was fabulous! But I must argue with you on your opinion that it is inconveniently located - it all depends on where you are coming FROM, after all. It is very near highways 5 and 8 and much closer to the beaches than anything in North Park. We loved it. THANK YOU Reader, for expanding our horizons.— February 11, 2016 6:03 p.m.
