Soon There Won't Be a Barrio Logan

Barriojustice, it isn't about those that were born here I have a problem with or those here legally. It is those that are here ILLEGALLY. Let me yell it out at the top of my lungs. The problem with ILLEGAL ALIENS are ILLEGAL ALIENS. Let them wait in line like other people from Vietnam, the Phillippines, Russia, Ireland, Somalia, Cambodia and even Mexico, etc. Illegal aliens are here illegally and are CHEATERS. They cheat everyone else trying to do it right. Do you like CHEATERS? I don't. CHEATERS ARE CHEATERS. I don't want to hear some romantic notion of defending the underprivileged to get your rocks off. I heard it all before "you are racist, you are heartless, you are evil". Take a number. As for people who were born in America and forced out by high rents. It happened to me living in North Park. North Park is changing. Hipsters (many from other states) are moving in and willing to pay higher rent. More new businesses are popping up. I am not entitled to some pre conceived notion that my rent is supposed to be low. It is called Capitalism. Supply and Demand. There is a demand in Barrio Logan and if the owners of the apartments have a limited supply they will charge what the market will pay. Refriedgringo, are you serious? I am packing my bags and gonna illegally cross into Mexico it sounds so good. I mean while I am making my trek to Mexico and see all those coming to America illegally I will tell them too turn back. "It isn't true, it is all false, Mexico has more to offer to Mexicans than America." How many do you think I will convince? 15 million Mexicans voted and left with their feet. Why are so many fighting deportation orders? Obviously you aren't here illegally and aren't desperate with nothing. I empathize with those that are here illegally but we as Americans can't service everyone. We can't even service our own citizens let alone anyone else. Mexico needs a bloody revolution. People will have to spill blood there to meet the needs of its citizens.

Soon There Won't Be a Barrio Logan

To the people of Barrio Logan bring it down or clean up your act. For the love of God what is so appealing about keeping a crime ridden neighborhood and filthy conditions? This article is great because it points out the racists of Barrio Logan. We live in America, I think? But according to the people of Barrio Logan this is Aztlan. Get off your myopic, paranoid, self loathing view that all the world is against you. This is supposedly an immigrant rich area. Now let me get this straight, Mexicans and Latinos risk life and limb to come to a nation that hates you, despises you and wants you out of their country? Now why would anyone cross the border to this? According to the logic of Barrio Logan this gentrification is doing this to all Mexicans and immigrants. Last time I checked: 1. Education for Mexicans in America is better than in Mexico 2. Health Care for Mexicans in America is better than in Mexico 3. Housing for Mexicans in America is better than in Mexico. 4. Working Conditions for Mexicans in America is better than in Mexico. 5. Running Water for Mexicans is better for America than in Mexico....Get the Point? These whiners of Barrio Logan are getting guess what? Priced out of the market. A capitalist concept. Not racist. How many old home owners sold out and were able to get a new house or place to stay in another town or were able to finance their children's education in the future? How many of the retired in Barrio Logan or others in San Diego "cashed out" before the housing crash and can live in security? I aint buying it with the people of Barrio Logan. The only part of this story I liked was the principal of Perkins Elementary School. This principal sees the larger view of the world for the children of the school. He knows that those kids must see themselves outside of the world of Barrio Logan. He wants them as achievers not victims. And some in Barrio Logan criticize him. Wow? Unfortunately the mantra of "keeping it real" in terms of race at the expense of a child's well being is fairly disturbing. For the Latino community to see every issue out of the lens of race only hinders their own educational and financial security. Mexicans leave their beloved homeland because America cares more about the well being of Mexicans than the government of Mexico. Mexico sucks, 15 Million illegal aliens Mexicans can't be wrong.

City of Industry to Vote Jan. 20 on $500 Million Infrastructure Bond that Would Serve Planned New Stadium

Let the shakedown begin. Shake baby shake baby shake til you cant shake no more. I guess this giveaway will be considered a bailout or stimulus package for san diego. Remember this will create jobs. I can see the scam being unfolded. A stimulus to bring back jobs and the super bowl. The Chargers must be doing cartwheels now that Aguirre is gone.

November's Shocking 533,000 Jobs Loss Was Actually Far Worse

I think the Obama/Bush/Bernanke Plan is the same. Their solution is to throw so much money at the problem to overheat the economy. Their attitude is better to have an overheated economy than no economy at all. I believe this is the reason Paul Volcker was selected. He strangled inflation with his out of control interest rates. Therefore he wants to create 1979-1982 all over again. But this time we have a huge 11 Trillion Dollar debt. Our society does not save and I think we will ultimately have hyperinflation. Obama will not allow economy to hit 8% unemployment with all the money being thrown at it. However, I think ultimately it will not work and we will be in a depression.

Aguirre Sums Up Criminal Activity That Led to Pension Deficit

Mike Aguirre was my local hero. He was vilified for speaking the truth. Our country can no longer handle truth. It just wants have a smiley face on everything it does. Like Ralph Nader, when you have everyone against you, somehow you might be doing something right. The labor unions and the downtown business mafia didn't want someone to spill the beans on their scam. Now all the "Beautiful People", i.e. the Padres, Chargers, Redevelopment companies, the labor unions, real estate brokers, agents and local media have their world crumbling. Mike may be knocked down, but he will be back up again. The pension crisis will not go away and taxes will increase and services will be cut. The people will scream. They only need to look in the mirror. Not laying blame and having accountability in a society where everyone wants to belong has led to our financial mess. Is our generation strong enough? I don't think so. Is America a dead concept?
