Bar Brawl With North Park Rages On
This isn't about drinking; it's about parking.— December 9, 2010 10:30 a.m.
Fees Are More Popular than Taxes
There are many laws that govern how taxes are put in place and how they are used. Not so for "fees". In most cases, they are a check for cash to cities to spend as they choose and collect as they choose, without the taint of legality required for taxes. Of course, this makes fees more popular. After all, they aren't taxes. The only people who can't tell them apart are the people who pay them.— December 5, 2010 11:54 a.m.
San Diego Family Feud — Electronic Survey Says!?
Of course, if they don't like the outcome of the vote, they just don't use it again and it disappears. Incidentally, if the mayor wants to save money, they could stop serving food at these community meetings. I ran into a homeless guy who attended a different meeting for dinner every night. Well, community outreach!— November 22, 2010 4:07 p.m.
Belmont Park Predicament Not Amusing
The city is selling property as fast as it can. Rezoning is a decision made by the city. I see condos, with maybe the swimming pool providing underwater parking, for those who insist on having an automobile and a place to put it.— November 10, 2010 8:05 p.m.
Will Uptown Partnership Dissolve?
Maybe it will become all new, like Parking District of Uptown, and if the board members have the same name, oh well.— November 8, 2010 4:02 p.m.
South Park's Granny Flats — City Says Yea, Some Citizens Say Nay
To get back to the topic, granny flats are rental units with no parking spaces to go with them. There may be other code requirements that disappear from the granny flat equation? If you think there isn't enough on-street parking now, wait until 4 people with cars move into that rental granny flat.— November 7, 2010 5:18 a.m.
Council Votes to Reopen Winter Shelter in Barrio Logan
Captain Long doesn't remember the case, Ben Hueso doesn't remember the case, but the rest of us remember the case. We remember it was a 14 year old girl in a vacant house. Some people remember different things from other people, I guess.— November 4, 2010 7:40 p.m.
South Park's Granny Flats — City Says Yea, Some Citizens Say Nay
For most of the community plan updates, the solutions to parking and traffic are bicycles and pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods, so people will walk instead of drive. Of course, 99% of the people are too busy to go to the meetings, and are surprised when four lanes turn into two + a bicycle lane.— October 31, 2010 9:46 a.m.
Dorian Hargrove suffers life-changing skateboard accident
Time to write your book, Dorian. You have several topics--this one, the city, the people who are on the fringes --so you can write more than one.— October 30, 2010 8:13 a.m.
South Park's Granny Flats — City Says Yea, Some Citizens Say Nay
Concerned citizen is right on! The mantra at the city is BUILD. Anything. Better to call it something nice, like granny-flats, than something evil, like redevelopment. Note that granny flats don't require parking; presumably granny doesn't drive. Granny probably doesn't require a setback either. It is coming. We call it revitalization in San Diego.— October 28, 2010 8:44 p.m.
