Manchester sells Grand Del Mar to Di-Fi's hubby
Many of us who live on the beach now refer to Kevin as our "Lord of the Flies" for his many contributions to his real constituents: The many flies who flit around our food. Follow the money, the beach flies are the main beneficiaries of his term in office.— July 1, 2015 12:12 p.m.
Manchester sells Grand Del Mar to Di-Fi's hubby
Kevin was our council rep here and his decisions led to San Diego being dubbed 'Fly City' because tourists tend to visit Mission Beach, where his halving of garbage pickups led to an explosion of summer flies that ruin the experience for many visitors. These flies did not exist prior to Kevin's decision to 'serve our community' by cutting garbage pickups in a heavily touristed area down to once a week. The fly population exploded almost overnight. He did nothing to improve the infrastructure while the population of Mission Beach tripled. He allowed the beach to be bought up by out of state folks who see it as a hotel, but made no requirements for extra parking to accommodate the huge influx of residents and weekly rental tourists that fill them. When I called his office to bring this issue up, their response was for many longtime Mission Beach locals to park at another parking lot one mile away and walk. His signature piece as our representative was to send us all a letter in 2009 in the height of the recession,, using city money, to congratulate himself for using emergency city money to fund a few last months of double pickups - during the winter after the stock market crash when there were NO TOURISTS anywhere. Just when we needed it most. This guy is a self-motivated lightweight who has no concern for the people he thinks he 'serves.' He is a PR machine whose only real interest is his growing political career as Doug Manchester's public mouthpiece. Get him out of power before this airhead damages anything else. We need a manager with a vision for the CITY'S future instead of their own future. Why is that so hard to find in San Diego?— July 1, 2015 12:04 p.m.
