San Diego Convention Center liars
While it's true that tourism contributes to creating mostly low-paying service jobs, those extra dollars from the service workers join the cash flow spent in the city. This makes for more money all around, to an extent. As a tanning salon business that gets its business from both tourists and San Diego locals - http://downtownsandiegotan.com -, we welcome the city helping fund projects to boost tourism. HOWEVER: Anytime the government, or anyone else, is basing profits and income on fudged or slanted numbers, that's just bad business. It also contributes to a sense of distrust and white collar sleaziness. Boo. And to agree with another poster: Yes, ComiCon could be gone very soon, to Las Vegas or somewhere else.
