Botanical Garden — heck, Balboa Park itself— in desperate need
Ready to spend billions to build a stadium for a billionaire, but can't spare half a mil to fix the Botanical Building. Wait, didn't Mayor Kev pay $2.1M for that EIR re Qualcomm? Nice chunk of money that amounted to nothing. Imagine if that had been spent on the Park.— May 1, 2016 7:33 p.m.

Oh Good God. Taco Bell Botanical, anyone? JoAnn's Crafts Casa? *puuuuuuuke*— May 1, 2016 7:26 p.m.
Chargers' political tab already approaching $900,000
Purely disgusting on so many levels. First that vendido Juan Vargas just sickens me every time I see him. Now Scott Peters, truly, can it be any clearer how the Democratic Party functions in this city when it keeps pushing out these maroons and expects people to support them? Get rid of the whole clown car full of them, get behind Mayor Kev's plan to keep the Chargers out of downtown, and for Godssakes, get some decent people in office and don't let Lorena Gonzalez and her ilk run them out of town again.— April 29, 2016 8:38 a.m.
Saldaña to challenge Faulconer
I also found her to be personally dishonest with me on a very minor matter, and for reasons I have never been able to fathom. Like CityBeat, I liked and supported her. Hard to understand what's behind her sore winner sensitivity.— January 25, 2016 7:03 p.m.
Saldaña to challenge Faulconer
Let's just remember what progressive rag CityBeat had to say about Lori Saldana. http://sdcitybeat.com/article-10484-Turds-&-Bloss…'s-silence.html http://sdcitybeat.com/blog-15785-Saldana-just-kee… If this is the best the Democratic Party has to offer to challenge Kev, then wow.— January 25, 2016 6:55 p.m.
More body cameras for SDPD
If the public can't see police conduct from the body cams, then what's the point?— November 10, 2015 5:40 p.m.
Mission Beach to wait longer for new lifeguard tower
It's actually interesting watching how the process works for people who have the means to stop the city. In Logan Heights, the new library permit process happened over six weeks, dedicated park land was taken without a vote, school grounds co-opted, over the stated concerns of the parents, petitions, and protests. But I suppose when it comes to poor immigrant families, the city can do as it pleases. I will never step a foot in that library, -- which by the way sticks out like a sore thumb in the neighborhood. Or as I fondly refer to it, Hueso's Mausoleum.— September 5, 2015 6:12 p.m.
Mission Beach to wait longer for new lifeguard tower
Obviously an unlimited number. It's San Diego. We are nothing if not consistently corrupt.— September 5, 2015 6:09 p.m.
No pool party at Bud Kearns this summer, kids
While Todd Gloria has been busily extolling his "sexy streets," cracking wise about going as Lady Gaga to the State of the Union address, and sharing news about Justin Bieber's haircut, while he went off to DC to scout his political ambitions around the capitol, while he neglected to do anything of serious note during his time on the council, except to countermand all the good things Mayor Bob Filner did and falsely grab credit for the new library downtown by having the mayor's name removed and his etched in, while he was finding thousands of dollars for dog parks and neglecting Balboa Park on a scale that barely falls short of criminal, he still found the time and the nerve to declare himself a candidate for higher office. As rep for the Council district that encompasses Balboa Park, Todd Gloria had one job. Well he almost ruined it, by failing to properly investigate Lilygate as that would have exposed his role in that fiasco, by supporting Jacobs Folly to the point that he improperly blocked everyone who questioned the project from his FB page and then lied and said the majority of San Diegans supported the plan, by his failed leadership on the Centennial Celebration and where the millions went is yet to be known, and by this Bud Kearns pool fiasco, also the pleas and complaints from the disabled community regarding parking near the museums which he has disregarded. And we aren't even talking here about the Portland loos, the Jack in the Box reversal, and a hundred other fails he covers over while his machine pushes him forward into a seat he has shown himself incapable of serving or deserving the honor. He is a hideous little boy; I used to be a Democrat but the leadership of the Party in San Diego has let me down to the point where I can freely choose who I want to represent me. The Toad would not be on that list.— August 24, 2015 11:56 a.m.
AirBnB, the elephant in the room
So this woman is miffed at her neighbors for blowing the whistle on her shady rentals? What about her neighbors having to deal with strangers coming in and out of this woman's house on a regular basis, the noise, the parking, the traffic, etc.? A good neighbor wouldn't subject the people living close to her to that kind of nuisance. I was reading an article the other day about a dentist who bought four homes strictly as temporary rentals. He doesn't live in those houses, and doesn't rent out his house, he just turns over the keys to these "luxury homes" in different areas of the county. Imagine how the people in those areas feel about the hordes of strangers who suddenly appear and move into a house then leave a few days later, only to be followed by the next horde of strangers -- or what could be worse, a house sitting vacant for weeks, even months. This doesn't create a sense of community or neighborliness, just the opposite. Residential areas were never meant for these purposes, and it shouldn't be allowed.— August 19, 2015 1:29 p.m.
