Oceanside Swap Meet sellers wait and wonder
Oceanside is just National City North.— September 15, 2018 8:42 a.m.
S.D.’s household income rose five percent last year
Household income is meaningless unless one knows how many people constitutes a "household" and how many of them are working. Three adults in a household working full time (40 hours a week) each earning $12 an hour would gross $74,480. Each person on their won would not be able to afford an apartment. In many neighborhoods many working adults are living in one home. In San Diego anything less than $25 an hours is poverty wages.— September 15, 2018 8:40 a.m.

Its National City what does one expect?— September 15, 2018 8:34 a.m.
Forced out but not outfoxed

County pushes more density in rural San Diego
My spell check didn't like it.— September 13, 2018 6:10 a.m.
U.S. audit hits Sheriff 's crime lab
The City of El Cajon, years before Gore, investigated the merits of disbanding their crime lab and found the Sheriffs lab wanting and chose to keep operating their own. Lesson not learned by others.— September 12, 2018 3:49 p.m.
County pushes more density in rural San Diego
Lemon Grove is a contract city in that it contracts with the SDSO for its law enforcement. The SDSO is spread thin in the unincorporated areas. If Lemon Grove disincorporates (is that a word?) the law enforcement may get worse not better as LG is sandwiched between La Mesa and San Diego. I don't see the county flooding the area with law enforcement.— September 12, 2018 3:45 p.m.
Teens to flip Jack in the Box burgers gone
Unskilled labor is really not unskilled. You want proof? Find what you think is an unskilled job and try to do it. For all too long employers have used minimum wage as not a floor but a ceiling. For decades employers have filled the so-called unskilled jobs with people who needed work and were afraid to ask for a raise or even stand up for their rights. Employers have cheated them of overtime, failed to pay for all hours worked, required kick backs or used brokers to get workers not to mention using illegal immigrants to fill positions. Most employers of the kind mention in the article whine about regulations or labor laws or having to offer benefits beyond the wage itself. Most of the employers of "unskilled" and low skilled workers have relied on the largess of the taxpayer to provide for their workers what they themselves should have. I have no sympathy for the crybaby employers who have to pay above minimum wage just to attract a worker. I find it funny that these wealthy business people, labor brokers and know-it-all economists bemoan the fact that people are tired of working for poverty wages. Time to pay up.— September 12, 2018 3:37 p.m.

San Diego’s poor pay 95% of family income for rent
Ghettos are created by grouping low wage people together into apartments/houses intended for far fewer people than inhabit them. Originally ghettos were created because people of color were not allowed to rent in certain neighborhoods forcing them to squeeze into the available housing. Now it is economics. How many Walmart workers have to band together to afford the rent for a two bedroom apartment. I will guarantee you it is far more than two.— September 8, 2018 12:53 p.m.
