Dozens of protesters showed up to the San Diego City Council meeting to oppose Sean Elo-Rivera's proposed vacation rental tax. They wore matching blue shirts and held signs saying “Keep San Diego Affordable: Say No to the Rental Tax." But, as it turns out, they'd been paid and bused down from LA.

He and his people have decimated our ability to adequately defend this country. One well-placed strike and our country, possibly the whole world, is over in a couple of hours.

Drivers in @sandiego are completely out of control. An uber driver almost hit my wife on Saturday coming back from Ride the Point. He was trying to use the bike lane on Harbor Dr to skip traffic.

Hostile to Pedestrians = You could die "Hostile to cars" = Your ego might be bruised a bit by not having 100% of all available space reserved for you

I went out to the East San Diego County road where the Trump administration revoked a $1.165 million safety grant because they thought the project was "hostile to motor vehicles." After walking around there, it was clear the current design is hostile to *pedestrians.* www.kpbs.org/news/quality...

Great walk today at the McAlister Walk for Sobriety. Amazing to think about the lives saved by the McAlister Institute over the years. Such critical work in San Diego helping those suffering from addiction.

I often do not sleep. But more and more, I cannot sleep. I cannot close my eyes without seeing emaciated infants, starving children, and parents holding the lifeless bodies of their babies. It has to stop. I shared my thoughts and feelings in a new piece here: mysandiego.info/times
