Was the West Point Loma water meter being read?
If you say so. Personally, I think you were actually being serious and were simply unaware.— October 1, 2019 8:47 p.m.
Was the West Point Loma water meter being read?
Your water meter is in a concrete vault near the curb side. Almost all of the meters in San Diego are smart meters. The few that are not will be converted by early next year. Field inspections to read the meter have been replaced by electronic readings. Your suggestion is worthless to most people. BTW, all SDG&E customers, both residential and businesses have or will soon will receive smart meters This holds true for all investor owned utilities in California. This was mandated by something called the Ca. Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan that was put in place about 10 years ago. It's not the 70's any more.— October 1, 2019 9:43 a.m.

Vanessa Valiente: the cure for Costco couture
Well, everyone has there own idea of stylish. You think everything matching is stylish, I think it's boring. I think one stands out if everything doesn't match. Oh yeah, one more thing. If you have to tell people that you are something, well then you really aren't. Just my opinion. Opinions vary.— September 6, 2019 6:39 p.m.

San Diego State – an elite school
There are SO many problems with this that I don't know where to begin. First of all, you are mixing stats from different categories. Your "roughly 93,600" is actually 92,628, which is ALL classes of applicants, and your "enrolled about 9100", well I have no idea how you arrived at that number. They actual number of those enrolled, using those 92,628 total applicants is 10,522. You also seem to be confused about something else. The number of students SDSU can admit and teach, as defined by the resident target enrollments, is contingent upon the amount of state funding allocated. SDSU is given an enrollment target for in-state students every year, and the state only provides funding to teach the targeted number of students. For that reason, SDSU currently enrolls the number of students funded. Yes, SDSU receives a lot of applications. It's San Diego, so what do you expect. But enrollment is based on funding from the state. SDSU allowed 11.3% of the qualified applicants to enroll because that is how many funding would allow. That is no different than any other school in the system. For example, CSULB had more applicants, 102,905, and more enrollments, 10153. That is about a 9.8% rate. So I guess that CSULB is ""elite" also? BTW, you should be careful about cherry picking articles to prove a point. That same publication produced a list for that year of the top 100 colleges with the lowest acceptance rates. Stanford, where my daughter went to grad school, was tied for third with Harvard, with a 5% acceptance rate. Guess which San Diego school was NOT in the top 100!!!— August 24, 2019 2:08 a.m.
San Diego State – an elite school
The first thing I find odd is that the writer's numbers for enrollment are inaccurate. Granted, they are only off by a few hundred, but accuracy counts. And with the exact numbers readily available going back at least 20 years, such inaccuracy is puzzling at best. And it appears that the writer is confusing acceptance rate and enrollment rate. There were 69,214 freshman applications reviewed for acceptance, of which 23,998 were actually accepted and sent acceptance letters. Of those, only 5,750 actually ended up enrolling. No school has all of its accepted applicants actually enroll. System wide, last year there were 318,991 students who were accepted, but only 66,803 actually enrolled. SDSU is NOT an "elite" school when it comes to actual acceptance rates. BTW, the CSU system has listed SDSU acceptance rates in the 30-35 % range for many years.— August 20, 2019 12:11 p.m.
