Change city to county and nine to five and you accurately describe San Diego County. I am guessing you could make a similar argument for most counties and cities.

Vista for example has its pockets of upper middle class homes but large parts are clearly lower middle class to poor. That did not stop the city from spending ungodly amounts of taxpayers money on a new cathedral to the omnipotence of city Pol’s and workers in the new city hall.

The city of San Diego had a report full of lies and economic fantasy as justification for a new downtown highrise city hall. As Chris Reed of KOGO says quanset huts in Kerney Mesa at a fraction of the cost would bring a good deal more civic pride. It ways the City cares more for the citizen taxpayer than the collective ego’s of elected and unelected city workers.

This “Civic Pride” lie is enough to make one go Fullerton Police on someone.

There will be no accountability, and no adverse consequence to the DE FACTO conspirators — not one culprit will so much as lose their lucrative pension — only an “unexpected” burden for taxpayers and a further reduction in core city services. This public monument scenario has played out hundreds of times in cities and counties across the nation.
