Let me get this straight. Students and staff skip a day of classes and work to protest the cost of their classes and furloughs.
Wouldn't it make more sense to do this during the weekend and not lose one of those costly classes?
Or would that have encroached on their 'free' time as opposed to time paid for by mom and dad or the taxpayers?
Just wondering.

On Protesters Target UC Regents

With three kids and an injured husband, Jaimes said, she's moved twice since being evicted.

This might sound insensitive, but why not leave the area? Just about anywhere is cheaper than SB, so why stay and torture yourself?

While it might be built with private money, how about donating the $2M so that schools could teach arts/music to kids? Skating might be fun, but piquing an interest in the arts could lead to a lifetime of enjoyment. Especially since it looks like the schools will be taking hits. Just a thought.

Anda Ashkar, Sr. Vice President & General council for Sima Corporation, outside the newly renovated San Marcos Building at 1129 State Street

Not to pick at nits here, but shouldn't her title be General Counsel? Just wondering.

You must have missed all the hating on Westmont before the DA announced the kids were from SBCC.

Are we talking about the same newspaper? Let's get real here, folks. I've been in SB since 1975 and the SBNP has never been more than a second rate paper. I used to cringe every time I walked past the building and saw the NY Times name on the wall. Wendy may have made it worse, but they were already approaching bottom.
Stop flattening this cat and let it die out.
Maybe someone will start another daily. Like the Daily Sound?

Creative Stereo-
Circus City had the worst staff I've ever seen. They were more interested in listening to the car stereos and talking amongst themselves than helping people.

If people feel so strongly about keeping it undeveloped, why not buy it from him?
Hey I know, all of the affordable housing SB needs could be built in Gaviota, solving 2 problems at once!
Then we could find out if people are really objecting to the mansions or the idea of any housing at all.

If he truly cared about the environment he'd do pay per view TV concerts or webcasts. That way his fans wouldn't pollute the air by driving to the show and he wouldn't pollute the air with 4-5 semis and 2-3 tour buses. Just my opinion.
P.S.

Please. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.
