De La Fuente runs for NYC mayoral seat
The Constitution provides a means to remove a president from office, and it is impeachment. The popular vote was irrelevant, because the electoral vote is the deciding factor. Just because many people don't like that system doesn't mean it is illegitimate. To change it would require a constitutional amendment, and that would require approval by 3/4 of the states, meaning 38 states. All it would take is for 13 states to withhold approval, and the amendment would fail. The 13 least-populated states like having their out-sized clout in the presidential election and would be most foolish to accede. Once changed, those states would fade into irrelevance at the federal level more than today, and would be permanently out of play in presidential elections. Finally, nobody has yet claimed that vote tallies or counts were altered.— April 2, 2017 8:53 a.m.
La Jolla Shores neighbors propose gating new development, worry about drainage
Those residents would love to put a gate at every entrance to La Jolla and keep all of us riff-raff out of their little "jewel." But if they can't do that, they'll settle for just making it inconvenient for any outsiders to visit their beaches.— April 1, 2017 10:34 a.m.
Advantage Towing ruled against in Mission Valley accident case
Good luck to him; he will need it if he ever wants to collect from a towing company. As far as he had fallen, trying to deal with the towing "industry" is just going to be worse. The cops won't do a formal accident report unless someone is injured and "transported." Well, he was both injured and transported, but the cops didn't "think" anyone was injured. San Diegans, this is your police department in action. They screw up every day, and there's little or no accountability. Mayor Kev-boy has many things to deal with, and this dysfunctional PD is right near the top of the list. Will he act? LOL— March 31, 2017 8:08 p.m.
Yay! San Diego reservoirs filling up
We're getting a bit off-topic here. Don reports that the Casa del Zorro" w[as] trying to appeal to “the upscale, the elite.” The place isn't pulling it off. It may be expensive enough, but if you knew it under Copley ownership when it was a posh and polished operation, the contrast now is stark. Offerings there for well-heeled tourists are not that good. The restaurants generally are pedestrian and overpriced. Good times there should lead to improvement, but on the whole the town is sliding backwards.— March 30, 2017 2:41 p.m.
More parking than most Del Mar homes
You have to wonder how the buyer will use all that garage space. A typical San Diegan fills at least half of the space with junk that would usually be better thrown out. And then the car sits outside, baking in the sun and getting a daily dose of dew, a combination that rapidly results in peeling and fading paint. If you pay that much for a home, do you park clunkers in the garages? Hardly seems worth it. So, maybe there is then an incentive to get a family fleet of expensive luxury or sports cars to make use of it all. Ahh, the problems of the rich.— March 29, 2017 8:53 a.m.
NFL owners approve Raiders move to Vegas
Raider Nation (which is what fans from across the country call themselves) on the move!— March 28, 2017 8:20 a.m.
NFL owners approve Raiders move to Vegas
Don, You point out that Oakland could afford no such foolishness. I agree. But can Vegas really afford it? If you scratch below the surface of Vegas, you learn that the residents are suffering all sorts of social ills, and that governmental services to assist them are grossly inadequate, due to lack of funding. All that glitz and glitter in Vegas masks the grim reality of the city. It ain't a nice place, never was after gambling came along, and has no prospects for improvement. Lots of jobs but they are at the wrong time of day, the pay isn't so great, and families really struggle to stay afloat and stay sane. If the Raiders prosper there it will be in spite of the host city, and will be due to the tourists, the gamblers, and the inverted priorities of the state government.— March 27, 2017 3:56 p.m.
Kensington bicyclist ticketed for not stopping at Meade and 39th
If bicycle riders were just trying to make their way along with the least fuss and conserving their energy, this might make sense. Unfortunately, I've seen too many of them blow through stop signs, forcing motor vehicle drivers to brake, swerve, and otherwise dodge them. The most recent little outrage was when a bicyclist cussed me out (I was on foot) for being in a crosswalk and he had go behind me. Doh, pedestrians have the right of way in crosswalks, in relation to motor vehicles and the damned bikes, too. I biked for a number of years, and while I didn't always stop at stop signs, I made sure that I made it safely. Not one accident involving a car, and never took a hard spill. But the arrogance of many of the riders has me at a point of no sympathy and a hope that they do get ticketed.— March 27, 2017 3:46 p.m.
Gas from the past now pumps in Coronado
If we are to believe what the petro industry tells us, all of the gasoline we consume in California is refined in California. So, there's no chance that Sinclair is selling its own refinery output here. It, and its dealers, is marketing refined fuels, but not providing them.— March 27, 2017 8:46 a.m.
Planned Parenthood march against Obamacare repeal
Whether it was a march or just a rally, the group seems to be missing a point. That Obamacare bill didn't go to a vote, not because it vindicated the current program or Planned Parenthood, but because the majority party in the House couldn't agree. Many in the GOP wanted it to go further. This push for a repeal/replacement hasn't gone away; it will be back again.— March 26, 2017 9:14 a.m.
