How about the San Antonio Chargers?
don bauder I think it is important to remember that while the animosity between Spanos and Kreonke is no secret, neither is directly involved in the negotiations at this point. Also keep in mind that the basic parameters under which the agreement must fall have already been laid out; they were part of the proposal that was approved by the owners and they have to be followed.— January 29, 2016 12:40 p.m.
All is not lost, Chargers fan
don bauder Everything I have read says the city of Santa Ana received plans merely for grading and landscaping, not for any structures. Do you have different information? I am familiar with this area. It's just north of the 405, near Harbor and MacArthur. I frequently use Mac Arthur to get to South Coast Plaza. The parcel is owned by the same company that owns South Coast Plaza, so I'm sure it wasn't cheap. The Chargers also applied for trademarks on LA Chargers and Los Angeles Chargers a few days ago.— January 29, 2016 12:31 p.m.
Waves too small at Silicon Beach?
don bauder Didn't venture capital actually start in the Silicon Valley in the early '70's? I know that Apple's IPO, in 1980 I think was seconds only to Fords, in terms of relative dollars. And yet Silicon Valley ranked only third last year, behind New York and the Boston area.— January 28, 2016 8:38 p.m.
Waves too small at Silicon Beach?
john oliver Perhaps you would prefer life in Denmark. Denmark was recently named the the best governed country in the world. With one of the most efficient bureaucracies in the world, combined with a lack of corruption found in the government, a well-regulated electoral process as well its citizens confidence in elections, their judicial system, and their military, perhaps you would find life more appealing there.— January 28, 2016 8:26 p.m.
Waves too small at Silicon Beach?
don bauder I wasn't making a comparison between San Diego, OC or Los Angeles. Since you tend to be San Diego centric in your writings, I was simply adding that there are other tech areas nearby that also garner their fair share of VC money. O own some properties on the West Side, so I keep myself informed on what is happening there. Of course, even $4billion of VC in Los Angeles is a mere drop in the bucket when compared to the $27 billion that went into the Silicon Valley last year, an area that, as I recall, has a populous not much larger than San Diego county.— January 28, 2016 8:17 p.m.
Waves too small at Silicon Beach?
don bauder It's called sarcasm.— January 28, 2016 8:05 p.m.
Waves too small at Silicon Beach?
don bauder Several articles I have read in the past few months have put the figure of VC invested in San Diego at around $1.16 billion in 2015. Orange County VC was at its highest since the dot-com bubble bust in 2000, at $1billion. And even with a Q4 drop in funding, Los Angeles companies still managed bring in just over $4 billion in VC last year. Los Angeles/Orange counties seem to be the the place to be at this point in time in southern California.— January 28, 2016 2:46 p.m.
Waves too small at Silicon Beach?
don bauder When, in the past, did the tech community stop referring to San Diego as "Silicon Beach", and when did San Diego stop boasting of itself as "Silicon Beach"? Does that clarify the question enough??— January 28, 2016 2:12 p.m.
Waves too small at Silicon Beach?
don bauder How long has it been since San Diego was referred to as Silicon Beach? I remember reading that back in the '80s. The new Silicon Beach is the West Side in LA, from Santa Monica, Venice and Marina del Rey and now down into the edges of Westchester— January 28, 2016 8:56 a.m.
"I feel like I'm forced to use my car."
alexclark You said "For any mass transit to work the city must be designed around it" San Francisco, New York and especially London and Paris were NOT designed around mass transit and I know from personal experience that their public transportation systems are among the best in the world. Thanx for agreeing with me.— January 27, 2016 9:03 p.m.
