San Diego tourism lags other California coast metros
Further irony: today the SD Daily Transcript reports "*If you're looking to stay in one of the Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego's 1,600 hotel rooms on Friday night, you're out of luck — the waterfront hotel is booked solid.*" The article's emphasis is on Memorial Day weekend - the military presence in San Diego provides ...HonestGovernment | May 24, 9:02 a.m.

San Diego tourism lags other California coast metros
The feud between the mayor and TMD must be the reason. It has to be. There's no other factor to blame.

Visduh: Of course, you have to determine where the blame lies.

Study finds unfair, unsafe working conditions for San Diego taxi drivers
The local establishment is all for tourism. Tourism involves taxis to/from Lindbergh, hotels, tourist attractions, restaurants, night clubs, and for the uninformed, the border crossing into TJ. Yet the folks who drive them are like slaves--poor, uninformed, and beaten down. What sort of impression do those drivers give to the well-heeled tourists visiting SD and ...Visduh | May 23, 8:12 p.m.

If the paper paid the carriers better, it would get better carriers. Too often I've found that the carrier cannot or does not follow instructions about vacation holds and delayed delivery.

I hope the carriers are successful with their suit. It's about time these workers were treated like adults.
