Should San Diego dump its 30-year-old sign ordinance in portions of downtown to create an Arts and Entertainment District?

HG, if the district is formed then Ehrlich/Marston would serve as executive directors. Downtown Partnership would be the agency to sign off on signs. Property owners could object to sign or size of sign. They would also receive a portion of revenues. I asked if A&E District and Downtown Partnersip would have a similar contract as a MAD/PBID but Ehrlich said it was too early to tell.

Aardvark, I believe, just going off memory from reading the lawsuit, that the developer paid $7 million.

Got a permit for that, Manchester?

Of course I meant willfully, Visduh. It was a test to see if my editors would catch that. Unfortunately they failed this time. Just trying to keep them on their toes...

Woman sues City of San Diego for excessive force by police officer during a Chargers game

No typo Duhbya. More like poor writing. The $75k is just for past medical bills. The suit did not have a total dollar amount. The lawsuit is now uploaded. Thanks!--dh

Development Impact Fees to drop in Mission Valley

I hear you, Visduh. You have to know the right times to head down, if at all. Same goes for Grantville -- Fairmont and I-8 -- area. Bottlenecked constantly. City planners have been pretty confident that Mission Valley and surrounding areas will be where most of the "growth" occurs. I guess we will have to wait to find out how that works out--dh

Yellow Deli People: Mellow believers or cult of opportunists?

Thanks for the comment Steven. I am glad you found a place among the 12 Tribes. I am happy for anyone that is able to find their place in any religion, group, culture, tribe, anything. The article wasn't intended to bash a religious group and wasn't meant to label them a cult. The article instead revealed facts about the labor violations -- which had never been reported-- and the opinions/objections from residents. I apologize if you felt that was not the case. Thanks for the comment.

Investigative author Caitlin Rother amplifies her remarks on DeMaio

I personally didn't because I didn't see any merit in any of it. That would have been the same if the same allegations were cast on a man or woman. No conspiracy here.
