How to fill empty space between Chula Vista and Jamul

Writer Harrison skewered on Hinze reporting
So two people comment anonymously to castigate Harrison for using an unattributed quote. Do they miss the ironic contradiction? The number of people who speak one way or another at a council meeting means nothing. Partisans pack the chambers all the time. Harrison used "rape" as a figure of speech. If I use a killer app, that doesn't mean it literally kills. Now, hmm, let's see, who do we know in Encinitas government who used to be a journalist. Could that be the mayor?— February 2, 2019 8:50 p.m.
Now the builders are mad at Encinitas
It's the economics, stupid.— July 3, 2017 6:19 p.m.
Untouched property on Neptune Drive
Will anybody with $12 million to spend on a house buy where there was a major bluff collapse a few years ago and where more collapses are likely in the near future? The owner/builder dug into the bluff for below-grade garages and other rooms, thereby further weakening it. If somebody buys the place and starts watering the yard as the owner-neighbor will do next door, when the winter rains come and saturate the ground, the likelihood of a bluff collapse will increase. The Coastal Commission forbids a private stairway to the beach at either of those two lots, so if somebody buys the place, they'll have to use the public access along with the local riff-raff a few hundred feet north. That stretch of Neptune (Avenue, not Drive, incidentally) is narrow, and most of the houses have minimal setbacks from the street, making the location the least desirable on the bluff. On top of the deterrents mentioned, the house looks gaudy and tasteless.— September 17, 2016 2:54 p.m.
Objections to Encinitas Library renaming
Why should the Mizels and the city stop with the library naming? Move down the hill a few feet and rename the buildings there the Pat Mizel Encinitas City Hall.— May 14, 2016 10:35 a.m.
