San Diego City is broke. Again. Yes, decades of governmental waste and mismanagement always keep us near penury. Most recently, fiascoes like the 101 W Ash Street real estate melt down (in which, at one point, tax payers paid $18,000 a day for an empty building, only latter to pay more) is one example. The City tried to force through another sales tax, but it failed. The city blames the failed measure as the reason it will have to make everyone’s lives here more expensive. They, however, never blame themselves or point to their inept handling of tax payer money. This fleecing of locals takes many forms, including raising downtown parking fees in many areas to $10 an hour during Padres games and there like. The bilking starts two hours before the event and ends four hours after it is over. The San Diego City council and the mayor (Todd Gloria) have permanently f*cked over its citizenry with this decision. #sandiego #toddgloria
