Famed architect unveils design for new Chargers venue
"sucked in by the QT headline" Really.?? It's a continuous source of amazement, and wonder, that so many people don't get that the column is satire. Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but isn't "Almost Factual News" the ONLY thing Walter Mencken authors for the Reader?? I guess some people will believe just about anything. Oh well, at least that might explain some of the decisions made by SD voters in recent years.— June 1, 2015 8:22 a.m.

This Chargers stadium proposal? Watch it.
You know, I always assumed the same thing. It was LA, San Fran and then the SD metro. But I noticed the other day that while it is part of the larger Greater Los Angeles area, the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, CA MSA, the Inland Empire metro area, is actually larger, with it's 4,304,997 population. Riverside County and San Bernardino county each have a population of over 2 million. It's coming up on 39 yrs in a couple of weeks since we moved from Tucson to San Diego and even with as many times as I've drive thru both counties, I never realized how many people lived there. Did you know that as of the 2010 census, Riverside is 4th-most populous county in California and is the 11th-most populous in the United States and San Bernardino the fifth-most populous and the 12th-most respectively? I had no idea.— May 22, 2015 1:48 p.m.
NFL team could play in L.A. in 2016
don bauder here's my take, my own reading between the lines, as it were. As pointed out below, there are environmental issues with Carson. Assuming cleanup starts by early next year and assuming it takes only the 18 months as claimed, construction won't begin until mid to late 2017, at the earliest. An Inglewood stadium could be more than halfway complete BEFORE stadium would even begin on a Carson stadium. This week, Goodell said Los Angeles would be eligible to bid for the 2020 Super Bowl if an NFL team is playing in a new stadium there by 2018.. To me, this says 2 things. First I don't believe that Goodell would have even commented on the possibility unless it had been decided there would be a team, or teams, playing in a new stadium in Los Angeles by then. Second, there is no way a stadium in Carson is ready for use by the beginning of the 2018 season. With probably minimum of 24 months before the Carson site is ready, if indeed the EPA ever certifies it as ok, that would leave not much more than a year to build. That's not going to happen. In Inglewood, on the other hand, if we are to believe what has been reported, groundbreaking for the stadium could take place in December. The conclusion that I draw is that that Rams are moving back to Los Angeles and the new Los Angeles Rams stadium, with or without a tenant team, will be awarded the 2020 Super Bowl. My guess at this point is that if there is a second team, it will be the Raiders.There are no viable stadium options on the table in Oakland, while the Chargers, from a certain perspective, do have one. Mark Davis will go wherever he can without having to a - continue playing in the OACC and b - shell out much of his own money( which he doesn't have anyway). Just my opinion. Opinions vary— May 22, 2015 12:52 p.m.
Plastic-bag ban a no-brainer
Arizona has taken it one step further...or maybe that's one step back, depending on your point of view. Not only will the state not ban plastic bags, the morons who run the state passed a law that goes into affect on July 1 making it illegal for individual cities to impose bag bans. But they didn't stop there. The same law that made it illegal for cities to ban plastic bags also applied similar restrictions on Styrofoam containers and other disposable products. Of course, one has to take into account that these are the same morons that also enacted laws forbidding those same cities from rising the minimum wage and enacting taxes or regulations on firearms.— May 22, 2015 9:41 a.m.

NFL team could play in L.A. in 2016
You can take the gold line to the Memorial Park Station in Pasadena and there is a Rose Bowl shuttle pick up a couple of blocks away. Once in a while, we would stay in Old Town Pasadena for the weekend and would sometimes take the train from San Clemente up to Union Station and then out to Pasadena. It usually took about 3 hrs total, but we weren't in a hurry, so no big deal.— May 22, 2015 9:24 a.m.
U-T San Diego now belongs to L.A.
Well, he actually did say "a little over an hour", so maybe his interpretation of that is an hour and 59 minutes. Depending on where they will distribute the papers from, they should be able to get down there in that amount of time at 3:00am. We used to be able to drive from La Jolla to Calabasas in about 21/2 hours after midnight.— May 22, 2015 8:55 a.m.
