Proposition D: How to Buy an Election
The Sycuan Development Corporation owns the US Grant Hotel and is involved in many real estate development projects. The Sycuan would certainly want a strong mayor to assist them with their real estate projects and any regulatory problems they might encounter. Under federal law and with the approval of Congress the Sycuan could legally annex the US Grant, or any other property outside their reservation, as Indian Tribal lands, and commence gambling operations. ====== Hmmm...I didn't know Sycuan bought the US Grant... Amazing. But they could not annex the Grant, and they certainly could not open a gambling den even if they did somehow annex the Grant. This exact scenario played out in the teeny tiny Nor Cal town of San Pablo about 4 years ago, when some rinky dink "tribe" that had NO reservation and just (literally) a handful of members, tried to "annex" a small nickel and dime San Pablo "card club" and open the biggest urban casino in the nation. Needless to say, the plan was canned faster than a tuna factory operating at full capacity. The public is onto the Native Anmerican (Vegas/NJ) gambling jig, and it is not healthy for the people who get caught up in it nor the surrounding areas that have to deal with the fallout of the financial losses of the residents through higher state social services. If anyone needs to know the dangers of gambling just look no further than this clown; "Judge refuses to unfreeze Alfred Villalobos' assets" A history of high-stakes gambling losses is cited as the main reason. http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-0529-calper…— May 29, 2010 8:28 a.m.

That Del Mar home will NEVER sell for anything even close to $75 million! I think if it were to sell today-at market- it would be $20 million to MAYBE $25 million. But the location cannot be beat.— May 28, 2010 3:13 p.m.

San Diego is so upside down from special interest money that I don't really think it matters who is in charge anymore-just more of the same. Same for our state and nation.— May 28, 2010 3:11 p.m.

RFG-I have a question. You indicate you did not know Spanish when you first started going to TJ, but once you moved there you learned it-how long did it take you to learn enough Spainsh to actually converse in it in TJ???? (and what is going on with the posting format on this page (and others))???— May 28, 2010 10:37 a.m.

Emachines were such a great deal! We bought one too. I have no idea if they are still even in business. I rememebr back in 93 when a 66 Mhz PC cost $3K, then came the sub 41K computres a few years later. Now you can get a screaming laptop for for $500, and less. And still even elss for a desk top, which I don't use any more.— May 28, 2010 10:34 a.m.

My first ever time coming to Tijuana was on business well over two decades ago. I knew nothing about this place, only a few stories I had heard that seemed far-fetched. ============== Like the so called "Donkey Show"............!!— May 28, 2010 7:48 a.m.

surfpuppy, not that it really matters, but I believe your estimate of what Burkle paid is a little high. ======== I did make a mistake and did not relize it until after I posted. The Ron Burkle estate was LISTED at $25 million but actually sold for $20 million, which along with that Del Mar coastal house on 7 acres at the end of Via De La Valle (currently listed at $75 million) set the county record back then (both at $20 million each). Laura Barry handled the Burkle sale and she worked out at my gym.— May 27, 2010 8:58 p.m.
