Fabiani has a laugh
Fabiani is a PR expert - I have to imagine that he knows what he's doing with the statements he's making. So it does seem like he's awfully confident that the Chargers will be out of San Diego soon one way or the other. It seems Fabiani is "all in" to the Chargers leaving to the point where he wants to alienate San Diego.— August 11, 2015 10:27 a.m.

That's a likely explanation.— August 10, 2015 7:12 p.m.
U-T finally concedes what everybody knows
Or to some extent the Carson site is the Chargers' backup plan in case the deal with Kroenke (sp?) falls through. I think right now the Chargers' strategy is: Plan A. Share Inglewood stadium with Rams Plan B. Share Carson stadium with Raiders Plan C. Stay in San Diego. Plan D. Move to St. Louis Plan E. Move to London And maybe D or E are ahead of C— August 10, 2015 9:23 a.m.

Yeah - the idea is ultimately wishful thinking on my part. The reality is that the NFL is allowed to have a monopoly of owners who collude against taxpayers in multiple cities - but should the taxpayers in those cities actually collude against the owners as you say all hell would break loose.— August 10, 2015 9:01 a.m.
U-T finally concedes what everybody knows
So here's my latest thought - probably impractical and somewhat crazy. What we have now is 3 teams bidding to get into LA and from the NFL's perspective it helps each team's case if they can show the NFL that they can't get a big taxpayer funded stadium. If I understand things right for most stadium ballot initiatives the pro-stadium folks tend to outspend the pro-taxpayer folks by a wide margin - as much as 100/1. So if neither the Raiders nor Rams get taxpayer-funded stadiums approved then that helps the Raiders' and Rams' cases to move to LA. Wouldn't one of the most cost-effective things San Diego Chargers fans could do to help keep the Chargers in San Diego be to spend money somehow to oppose stadium proposals in St. Louis and Oakland? Isn't that what Chargers supporters should do?— August 9, 2015 6:41 p.m.

Hmmm, so it seems things are more complicated than just shutting off some sprinklers for a few minutes. I guess my overall thought is we should use water efficiently and make water cuts as efficient as possible.— August 7, 2015 2:58 p.m.

Let's put it this way - does it make more sense to turn off the showers at Torrey Pines State Beach ALL SUMMER or to turn off the sprinklers at Torrey Pines Golf Course for a few minutes one day?— August 7, 2015 10:02 a.m.

I think that "Every little bit helps" is a misleading slogan. Every little bit helps but every little bit isn't worth it. Something that has a tiny benefit but a big cost isn't worth it. State government has tradeoffs to make between improving resident's lives, spending money, protecting future residents by protecting the environment. So ideally water restrictions should have the least negative impact on people's lives but the biggest water savings. I don't see how the shower shut-off accomplishes that.— August 6, 2015 5:43 p.m.

I followed a few of the airport studies out of curiosity for a while. A lot of beautiful documentation and detailed site reports to come to the conclusion that the only place physically possible to move the airport to is Miramar. And the Marines aren't planning on moving. Nor does the city want them to move. So several million dollars to basically prove that obvious common sense was correct.— August 6, 2015 5:32 p.m.
