Is Proposition C Just a Green Light for Developers?

@ Founder, I agree that "redevelopment" and "affordable housing" can be great, however the money is not being used in the way that it was intended. In North Park for example, look at 30th and El Cajon, the Rennaisance Project, well they destroyed a gorgeous old building that should have been rehabbed and they built this "blight". They are using redevelopment dollars to build blight rather than to fix blight. They should not be allowed to tear down perfectly good buildings that contribute to the historic character of these neighborhoods to build these tenement slums w/ a fresh paint job. They also intend to demolish the block on El Cajon between Alabama and Florida Street. That is another excellent example of how we could take the 5 million dollars the developers were going to be given for that project and renovate and rehab all those buildings and small houses. Those building are solid. The homes are built w/ wood from the redwood forests. Just peel off some drywall and you will see the quality that these guys are throwing into landfill to replace w/ extremely low quality toxic new construction at 5 times the cost to tax payers.

Who Runs Our Elections and How Safe Actually are They?

Thanks you guys. You are always 2 of my favorite posters w/ your comments on all blogs. Yes we really really need people behind the scenes watching everything. We need a system that is self-auditing. As it is now the registrar is ultimately in charge of everything and if she is possibly corrupt then she can take the entire election down. ....specially w/ mail-in votes!!!! Most people dont realize how unsafe your mail-in vote is. It changes hands several times so if it even makes it to actually be voted then ultimately the registrar, Deborah Seiler reviews each ballot to verify if your signature on the ballot matches the signature they received when you registered. In other words Seiler has ALL the power over mail-in ballots. She can toss any ballot she wants and just claim the signature does not match.

Is Proposition C Just a Green Light for Developers?

@ SDMaggie and the other fake 3 names on here as for your comments about how the plan will require "affordable housing"... http://articles.latimes.com/2010/oct/03/local/me-… Read the recent LA Times article indicating how "affordable housing" is the biggest scam ever so spare us your buzz words. We know the truth. This is about GREED

Is Proposition C Just a Green Light for Developers?

@7: THANK YOU for your perception. I thought that immediately when I read those comments. If you look at the comments in the Voice and UT they have absurd names like "liberalforpropC" as if someone would really register that name as a legit citizen. These guys give themselves away as shills and no doubt Pardee pays employees to create fake names and post on C. As for the "No organized Opposition"...of course there is NO organized OPPOSITION!!! No one has heard of this Proposition to organize against it. Why did you guys wait til less than a week before the election to post your signs if you werent trying to hide anything?

South Park's Granny Flats — City Says Yea, Some Citizens Say Nay

I also used to put signs up around South Park prior to 2008 election warning people about Todd Gloria and his overwhelming developer money seen here.... http://www.developeralert.org/INDEXGloria.html He recently blocked me on both his facebook pages for joining in the discussions about "affordable housing" where Todd congratulates himself constantly because I was posting comments refuting and revealing the TRUTH about affordable housing and how it is nothing more than handing all property tax dollars to private developers to build slums and destroy neighborhoods and be WAY overpaid for it.

South Park's Granny Flats — City Says Yea, Some Citizens Say Nay

I dont live in South Park but I have been QUITE concerned about for quite some time. It is one of the ONLY intact neighborhoods still left in SD that hasnt been hit by the hideous lackluster banal condos or even worse "redevelopment" projects which should just be called tenement slums. I used to even put signs up around South Park warning people this was coming. The truth is the developers are salivating over South Park. It is hands down the cutest andf most authentic neighborhood we;ve got complete w/ shops and all. I have been warning that it will be a HUGE target of redevelopment dollars. Developers are already buying up houses that are being foreclosed upon in anticipation of this. we MUST STOP it and I for one would like to help. We need to have South Park officially designated as historic so it cant be touched. Lets brainstorm fast and keep their dirty little hands off this gem!!!!!

Public Unions Funding Almost Two-Thirds of Yes on D Campaign, Says Aguirre

@Don, For what its worth this is what i know.... Unfortunately if a registrar is corrupt it is not that difficult to fix election results if you can get people to mail them in. Seiler is in charge of everything. no one oversees her. The Sec of State only certifies the machines which the HBO documentary on voting machines "Hacking Democracy" revealed are not difficult to rig. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacking_Democracy Her unbelievable zealousness to get people to mail ballots in is bizarre.... I mean even the envelopes say "Fill out and return PROMPTLY" in huge font. That seems very unprofessional. It should say "must be postmarked by x/2010". The IRS would like you to do your taxes early but they dont say "return PROMPTLY". they give you a postmark date of April 15th. And the fact that they have people stationed in bars on a Sunday night to pressure you to permanently change your vote status is unreal. again these people w/ clipboards are not trying to register people to vote but to get them to permanently change their voting status to mail in which is what the city of bell Ca did before they rigged their election according to the wall st journal. these are seilers preferences in order 1; that you dont vote at all 2: that you mail in your vote very very early 3: that you just mail it in I just find her history questionable and highly suspect and at the very least she should be fired. You cannot have the person that worked for Diebold, a privately owned right winged company w/ proprietary software as their sales rep now running our elections. it is a PROFOUND conflict of interest. But at any rate the letter I wrote to the sec of State is seen here on my fb page. As I said Bowen basically said the registrar is in charge of everything and the Sec o State can only certify the machines. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=546382152#… So for what its worth i would at least like people to know that Democracy is really in jeopardy here more than most places and I hope people will take their ballots by hand to the registrars office to minimize any chain of custody.

Public Unions Funding Almost Two-Thirds of Yes on D Campaign, Says Aguirre

Don, not to keep reiterating the same point but I just found this article from 4 days ago in CityBeat on even more recent suspicious behavior by our registrar of voters deborah seiler http://www.sdcitybeat.com/sandiego/article-8307-d… Im telling you 100 million a year is at stake... dont discount the effort to "buy" the results. Someone posted a comment to "ask seiler about the bonuses given to her workers during the 2010 primaries". Id look into this. there is something going on here. If you google Seiler you will find alot of compelling stuff to suggest she could and would rig an election.

Sanders's "Frighten 'Em" Prop. D Scam

@V Elections are not hard to rig. We know w/o a doubt that the Ohio and florida presidental elections were rigged. Also the registrar controls the whole process. If she wants to control an election she can. She determines what voters are legit and which ones are not. For all we know we could have 10s of 1000s of fake voters or people that are registered twice and dont know it. They could stuff the boxes w/ fake ballots. They could dump the ballots. At the polls in 08 I noticed the seals on the boxes were so loose you could lift them up and pull ballots out. Do you know who drives the ballots to the registrar where they are counted? If we were not rigging our election then why in the world did they choose to hire Micheal vu from Ohio 2004 where people under him are in jail for voter fraud". im sorry I think we are being naive if we think the money isnt trying to literally buy electio results.
