Despicable and rapacious. Mired in the political muck that has been San Diego's political scene for the last 60 years.

It's in San Diego near the airport. A development built on the old Naval Training Center. Developer got land for a song. Promised to share all profits
from development. Finished job and claimed no profit. Regular folks lined up for a lottery to get the first houses and executives from the developers,
real estate pros and former city council members nabbed 52 of the 349 winning slots in the lottery.

I couldn't agree more.... the USA's cheapest politicians reside in San Diego.
Which administration did that occur under?
|
All of them from the 60's on Frank.
I was involved in the South Bay in real estate and construction and Corky was building Chula Vista and Bonita, I was into Seaside Point in I.B, Tip
Krusecamp (sp) was building apartments in I.b. and Byron Ray was involved throughout the South bay.
Corky was kind of his own entity and was getting jobs through CV administration and then got into San Diego big time. Lot of political partisanship
going on.
Although he was younger Brian Bilbray was influential in I.B. when he was mayor.
I left San Diego to travel in 95 and returned in 2008 or 09 and boot camp was Liberty Station.
I did not pursue it but everytime I read something about San Diego's "plans" for the homeless problem they talk about I think of the complete
facilities that were there, galleys, showers, barracks, all of the infrastructure that was torn down for "Liberty Station".
Lot's of stories but not for here.
How did the move work out? Kid's loving it?

San Diego citizens are fools. The city council is owned by developers. The city employees are slackers that do nothing and the pension system is a
racket that robs tax payers. But fools keep voting for same old cronies!
If we had a DA that cared, McMillin and the city employees would have been prosecuted for what they did at liberty station. DA is just part of the
crooked bunch.

Appears some here have working knowledge of "politics" 
Real Estate development has been somewhat hard ... on many people

San Diego is just non stop development... they keep building more and more homes but no roads or mass transit. I feel that half my life is just
sitting in traffic. Bleh.
