Watch Your Step in City Heights
Property owners and the city are responsible for repairing damaged sidewalks. Normal wear and tear or age damage is the responsibility of the homeowner and the city claims responsibility for damage caused by “vehicle accidents, water main breaks and natural subsidence” and damage done by city owned trees. The State of California Improvement Act of 1911 that provides cities the”authority to require property owners to effect repairs to sidewalks abutting their property. Should the property owner fail to effect such repairs, City forces are authorized to make the repairs and the property owner is assessed for the cost.” http://www.sandiego.gov/street-div/sidewalk.shtml— December 19, 2011 7:04 a.m.

I've not previously heard of Ca. being referred to by gender, so I'm unsure as to which "him" your question refers.— December 1, 2011 9:11 a.m.

surfpuppy619, where do you get your information from. I am pretty certain APPLE didn't enter the Fortune 500 until 1983. It entered the list that year at #411 (cool # for a tech company, lol)which would make it 6 yrs after start up. It's interesting that APPLE climbed into the Fortune 100 in 1990 AFTER Jobs left and that it took until 2009 to get back there .At one point I think Apple fell all the way down to something like 325 in 2002 rankings even after the 1st IPod release. I don't think it was until after the release of the first IPhone that they finally got back into the Fortune 100. Apple was 35 this yeaar, up from 56 last year. I don't know about that whole most amazing comeback in world history though. Sounds like too much kool aid to me.— November 30, 2011 1:58 p.m.

And don't forget, at least according to his son, Ca. gave the country a President who learned his chops, both as an actor and politician(really the same thing aren't they)and was suffering at least the early stages of dementia while in office.— November 30, 2011 12:04 p.m.

Why does # 3 pain you? It's something I've been saying needs to be done for several years. And I would add to it raise if not remove completely the salary cap on SS deduction. Anyone who says taking that withholding on the amount over $106800.00 would hurt is full of crap. My wife and I have both made more than that for quite a while and it would be no problem. Anyone who makes that kind of money and can't manage their finances is a pos and doesn't deserve to make that much.— November 30, 2011 8:52 a.m.

re SurfPuppy619 9:25 p.m., Nov 29, 2011 Whoa, hold up there surfpuppy619. Don't get to far ahead of yourself on the GT/CS. The Mustang WAS built up in San Jose ,but the fibreglass body parts for the GT/CS were built back east in Michigan. They were made by the same vendor who did the glass bodies for the Vette. And I think you mean Toyota in Freemont, not San Ramon. That’s where GM and Toyota partnered. It shut down last year, but Tesla is supposed to start making their sedan there next year. GM Van Nuys closed 20 yrs ago. Most people don't realize that at one time GM and Ford each had 2 plants in L.A. I think there was about a 20-25 yr period when all 4 of the were open simultaneously. Chrysler also had a plant up here during part of that time frame also That's where the "Cuda, Charger and Challenger were made. Plus, don't forget, one of my fav cars of all time was built here, the Nash. Gotta love that Metropolitan. Not to defend GM and Ford, but by far more of their sales are now in foreign countries than in the US so it only seems to make sense that the manufacturing for foreign sales would be done elsewhere. 20 yrs ago they were selling 14-17 million cars. With a U.S run rate of only about 10-12 million , which is about what was being sold back in the late 60’s and 70’s, they simply don’t need 50 + U.S. plants. Foreign auto makers have been even with Detroit in sales of cars since about 2000 but the U.S. sales of light trucks, pickups, suvs and minivans, kept them ahead in the overall market until about 4 yrs ago. Since then the foreign auto makers have sold more than 50% of the vehicles in the U.S.. The declination of the auto industry took a while to get here, but really, it was inevitable.— November 30, 2011 8:35 a.m.

Maybe we really owe a debt of gratitude to George Lucas' ex-wife. If it weren't for her, Jobs wouldn't have been able to by Pixar, which means he never. I think Jobs actually used most of his APPLE money to start NEXT. As I recall, after a relatively short time, he was running out of money and talked good ol' Ross Perot to invest a ton of money. Whatever the chronology, I'm glad it happened. Over the last12 or 13 yrs APPLE has been very VERY good to us, particularly the last 12-18 months.— November 30, 2011 8:03 a.m.

I can do you even better than the phone company. My dad worked for GM at the Van Nuys plant. He got hired on sometime in late 1949 or early 1950 and decided to retire in 1984 when my mom did, so he 34 or 35 yrs in. We were the quintessential American Family. Our haouse actually had the white picket fence, we had a dog, my dad was an auto worker and my mom a phone worker, I mean how more American can you get. My brother was the kid who vounteered for the Army and I was the longhaired radical who went to Berkeley and joined the anti-war movement. Can't get much more All American than that.— November 29, 2011 7:32 p.m.
