Go after the real issue
From the comprehensive article “Opponents, proponents dissect Prop A election results” (UC/Golden Triangle News, Dec. 14, page 3), I think it is clear that the new board must go after the real issue!
The real issue is whether San Diego voters want to expand San Diego or concentrate on staying within our "limits" of: water; sewage processing; freeways; city services! Instead of expanding, make the "quality" of what we have much, much better! After all this, the possibility of making Miramar an all-civilian airport as the Marines go after a better all-military airport, outside the city, can be still reviewed.

We want more than nice words
The City Council should revisit its refusal to take a stand on building the big toll road through San Onofre State Park.
Maybe the Council didn’t have enough information when it voted two months ago, maybe the paid lobbyists from Orange County swayed some members, or maybe they didn’t realize that we San Diegans want more than nice words at election time about protecting our environment.
The Toll Road builders up north can find another route, or learn how to build smarter, with denser communities, instead of the sprawling developments for which Orange County is known. At any rate, the highway through our park is a nonstarter!
