Vigilantes root out rooftop camps on Garnet
Anyone who thinks the homeless have a "right" to squat on a rooftop is a complete idiot. I'm sure if they did, and took a tumble off the roof or even off the ladder, they'd be running to some personal injury lawyer to cash in. They should also be banned from begging at medians in the street, too, as it is annoying at best and unsafe at worst. Stop giving them money and they won't have any incentive to beg, perhaps they will get help instead.— December 17, 2018 4:28 p.m.
Dockless bikes and hepatitis

Dockless bikes and hepatitis
How do you even stand yourself? I mean, really, the crushing guilt that you must feel every single day must be more than one person can bear. I wouldn't know, as I refuse to feel guilty abut anything I consume. If I can pay for it, then it's mine. I have several vehicles and even more bikes, but mine aren't cheap layabout bikes like these pieces of Chinese dung. Perhaps a trip for you south of the border where more people are poor would be more in line with your kind of thinking, if you can call it thinking.— March 27, 2018 8:02 p.m.
Perpetual war between Evergreen and the city
Seriously, if they tell him that he can list the property for sale (how generous of them!) they think they have a right to tell him what the listing price can be? The arrogance and greed of the City of San Diego and DSD never ceases to disgust me. I'll be buying more stuff at Evergreen now, I want to see them fight the forces of greed (DSD) and win. Other posters here are right, just try getting through to city departments to get something fixed. If you can't reach them on the phone, you can go in their offices, but you will get a know nothing person behind a window, and all of the employees hiding out in the back somewhere doing nothing. They only seem to go after the money.— August 20, 2017 11:18 a.m.
Gripes over Clairemont's new bike-lane barriers
The above mentioned sidewalk would cost considerably less if the city could hire market rate contractors, as opposed to forcing contractors to pay "prevailing rate", i.e. union scale on public projects. We are being legally raped by the unions.— July 4, 2016 3:25 p.m.
Trader Joe's gets it, Clairemont
What we need is a couple of good non-union mainstream grocery stores to provide competition, and lower prices for all.— October 4, 2015 12:01 p.m.
Grossmont Center History 101
You anti Walmart people make me sick. You don't like it? Don't go there, but don't forget that your beloved Target has very similar employment practices. I have no hatred for Walmart, but no love for shopping there either. The problem out there is the trolley, which is making the whole community adjacent to it move downscale. Checked the crime rate lately? The trolley was helpful in outward mobility of the criminal element, and they seem to love La Mesa.— February 4, 2015 4:59 p.m.
Life on minimum wage at City Heights Burger King – for family of six
<sarcasm> How truly sad, I am just overcome with compassion for these poor victims of our cruel society. </sarcasm> They are all victims according to the author, who seems to think that these poor, oppressed "workers" are worth more to a private business than the market will bear. This, of course, has to be rectified by government fiat, at the expense of the employer who has to live with the law of supply and demand as it relates to his or her business, but not the oppressed employee. In the case of "Kara Jones", it would seem that she has yoked herself to a lifetime of minimum wage jobs due to her poor life decisions. Dropping out of high school to give birth to her first, then making three more? Then she marries an illegal, er, undocumented alien? How many more bad decisions will she make in life? l would submit that there should be NO minimum wage, as it artificially excludes those at the very bottom of the food chain from gaining that first experience as an employee. Who would want to take a chance hiring a young kid at an inflated $15 per hour? I bet they would at $5 per hour. If they are any good, they will either make more or find a better job. Mr. Good sounds like a shill for the Marxist left, and the Reader has dirtied itself by giving him a platform for his anti capitalist propaganda. I used to think the Reader was a decent publication, but those days are apparently long gone.— December 20, 2014 4:04 p.m.
Political mansion’s historic tale of woe
BlueSouthPark-Maybe this has more to do with money than politics, in case you haven't noticed there are a bunch of money wielding leftist running around buying influence too. Or is that OK in your warped view?— July 11, 2014 10:16 p.m.
