Combined convention center/stadium? Or neither?
Sure love to see an answer to my question on cost, LPH.— September 12, 2013 11:42 p.m.
Utility's solution for those hamstrung by rising rates: use less power
Wasn't this the same song and dance that was tried by water suppliers in Southern California? And as soon as people started conserving, the rates went up anyway?— September 12, 2013 12:11 p.m.
Combined convention center/stadium? Or neither?
Laplayaheritage: Just for argument's sake, what is the total cost of your proposal?— September 10, 2013 3:55 p.m.

Combined convention center/stadium? Or neither?
Don: Correct, but I will bet Michigan and Wisconsin didn't just add seats to existing crumbling infrastructure like San Diego did at Qualcomm. They did it right--we just added seats, and then guaranteed the Chargers that they would be bought. Ugh.— September 9, 2013 9:27 a.m.
Combined convention center/stadium? Or neither?
Don: That is the dilemma the city has created for itself. The city has treated Qualcomm as they have treated every other part of the city (except downtown). A little preventive maintenance at the Q would have been nice, just like on all of the other things that you mentioned. Most of this city is slowly crumbling, including Qualcomm Stadium. And to answer your question, I do not think a new stadium is more important.— September 9, 2013 9:24 a.m.
Combined convention center/stadium? Or neither?
Psycholizard: It should be basically permanent, but it is falling apart. I have a friend who works for the concessionaire (Centerplate), and she sees things that any regular fan would not see, and it is not pretty. But even casual fans can see exposed rebar, chunks of concrete missing, serious corrosion on the field level seating risers, and don't ever go there if it's raining. The place does not drain, and with all of the other plumbing issues in the place, you have assume that some of that water dripping on you during or after a storm isn't just normal runoff. I could go on, but I think you get the picture, and it doesn't look good.— September 8, 2013 10:33 p.m.
Combined convention center/stadium? Or neither?
Problem is, there are many things wrong with Qualcomm, and the main reason for that falls squarely on the city for not maintaining it properly. The place is literally falling apart--the city has backed themselves into a corner on this. Which creates the next problem, in that Qualcomm needs to be refurbished or completely rebuilt, but I (along with many others in the city) don't want hundreds of millions of tax dollars used to do this. This is why I feel the Chargers proposal (whatever it actually is) will never go on the ballot, as it will not pass.— September 8, 2013 4:35 p.m.
Future road in Grantville to go through Toyota San Diego?
The dealer's site is not optimally located? NOW you tell him. Another gift from our former district 7 councilmember, Jim Madaffer. The gift that keeps on giving...— September 7, 2013 11:23 p.m.
Combined convention center/stadium? Or neither?
Don: I am quite convinced the Chargers realize that as well, as the club is in no hurry to put this before the voters. They have only had roughly 10 years to do that, and it still hasn't happened. What is in San Diego's favor right now is that there really is no place for the Chargers to move to. Could it be that a new stadium is really NOT in the best interests of San Diego?— September 6, 2013 3:47 p.m.
