The iMayor and his impact<\/b><\/p>\n
Gloria is interested in homeless, affordable housing, green energy, infrastructure, neighborhoods \u2026 all things opposed by developers, who are interested in a stadium, Convention Center, SDGE, and parking garages [See \u201cSan Diego\u2019s iMayor leaves city better than he found it,\u201d Vol. 15, Issue 3].<\/p>\n
Filner did more to save our park, beach, seals, pension, and streets in eight months than Republicans in 18 years.<\/p>\n
City Council illegally forced Filner\u2019s resignation for a misdemeanor that does not disqualify one for office.<\/p>\n
How dare you promote another private stadium with public taxes after Republicans stole pension money for Petco Park?<\/p>\n
There are 8,000 homeless psychiatric patients who need affordable housing and health care. Developers need to build affordable lower and middle class housing for the people of San Diego. Developers need to stop building empty speculative luxury condos with the public taxpayer dollar.<\/p>\n
Downtown is a horror show of luxury excess and filthy schizophrenics on our tourist trolleys and buses.?I am ashamed to show visitors the disgusting developer corruption that make San Diego an ugly place to live.<\/p>\n
Downtown News, speak for all the people; developers, get your morality back, Developers, have pride in San Diego for all its people, not just what taxes you can steal for the rich. Regards,<\/p>\n

Thank you for your stewardship. I\u2019m believing that the city could have really prospered in a full term.<\/p>\n
Ciao!<\/p>\n

Plastic bag rationale<\/b><\/p>\n
I think we need to ration plastic bags [See \u201cOpinion: Bag the bag ban and tax scam,\u201d Vol. 15, Issue 3]. You don\u2019t need to take as many as they too wastefully give away, sometimes you can use canvas bags.<\/p>\n
I guess there\u2019s no way to do this except voluntarily and so I support a ban and say buy what plastic bags you need. Thank you!<\/p>\n

As a landscape contractor, I would definitely give my thumbs-up on this article [See \u201cArt on the Land: Reviving Horton Plaza,\u201d Vol. 15, Issue 2]. Thanks! I will be sharing this with my friends.<\/p>\n
