State Looking for Redevelopment Fraud. Suggestion: Grantville
One thing not mentioned above is what CCDC costs to "run"... Administration fees keep everyone working in ReDev. very happy and you can bet that all these employees are very nervous about what changes may take place in San Diego's ReDev "Business" and how that will affect their jobs/future! In fairness, I think it is also important to remember that many of these folks are totally committed to making things better for all those that they serve but are VERY LIMITED by the ReDev Agency/City Council who are their bosses! An Analogy: An airplane may have a first rate crew that really tries to please everyone but if the Pilot and Co-Pilot don't do their jobs then all are at risk! SD's Leadership is now and has been, fiscally amuck!— January 31, 2011 9:13 a.m.

Attention, San Diego Shoppers
I'm sure that we will start to see many more "Elite" taxes on upcoming ballots that each try and sell US on a new tax of fee that will make things better, yet are used by the Leaders for self promotion!— January 29, 2011 5:01 p.m.

Jerry Brown Wants to Rein in Redevelopment Scams
Redevelopment can be made better real fast by requiring that all the money go to infrastructure improvements for at least two years or until such time as a better definition of BLIGHT is adopted!— January 29, 2011 3:05 p.m.

In another year or so, the issue will be studied and that info will then have to be studied, until all the important folks are out of Office...— January 29, 2011 3 p.m.
Jerry Brown Wants to Rein in Redevelopment Scams
Since this "shifting" of ReDev. money is legal, I'm sure that is not a violation But I agree that it is a "Loophole" that allows the elimination and or shifting of "Low & Low Mod" housing within its own borders, which changes the demographic and the "feel" of the neighborhood. Liberty Station is now very up scale and has little to do with the NTC Project Area that many had envisioned years ago...

Maybe you can ask for a freedom of informational request to get the "Low Down" on what's now happening at $WC since the voting took place! Thanks for all of us in advance!— January 29, 2011 2:49 p.m.
Jerry Brown Wants to Rein in Redevelopment Scams
Actually they "gave away" some of their "Low & Low Mod" money to other ReDev. Project Agency's so that they did not have to spend their 20% set aside "Low & Low Mod" money on housing inside CCDC... This transfer of money from one ReDev. Area to other ReDev. Area, is one of my main frustrations AFTER using the money for projects like the Guacamole Bowl Stadium... This transfers the much needed "Low & Low Mod" housing to other locations and tends to pack "Low & Low Mod" housing along transportation corridors which are also known as linear ghettos by the folks that are "slammed" by these often large Dense Projects. NTC is another Project Area that is not building "Low & Low Mod" housing inside its area (yet) and is giving away its "Low & Low Mod" money to other Projects Areas in a blatant attempt to reduce or eliminate "Low & Low Mod" housing within it's borders...— January 28, 2011 4:47 p.m.
Jerry Brown Wants to Rein in Redevelopment Scams
It should be very interesting to see what becomes of the ReDev. vote! As mentioned above Atkins and also now State Senator Kehoe were both SUPER PRO ReDev SD Councilmembers so I see them talking about it but not changing much if anything... + It is sad to me that the smaller ReDev. Project Areas (like North Park) are now getting the heat from Sanders/CCDC's "Guacamole Bowl" Stadium deal and may very well not be able to continue to help the residents of those areas...
