UCD Med Center has more than 12,000 people on its 3.4 million square-feet of land. It will grow aggressively in the next 15 years and, as noted, the Med Center is exempt from the City's permit process. People living next to this have a right to speak up about the affect of the Med Center on their lives. This does not constitute "bitching." That said, it does not justify the shenanigans of City Council on the redistricting issue. Savage 2011-09-02T17:52:55Z Savage comment-56523 2011-09-02T17:33:21Z 2011-09-02T17:33:21Z Say it.

Her job was to cover what happened at Thursday's planning meeting, and she did that admirably. It is a reporter's job to cover timely news, not waggle through all the political nuances surrounding a situation. That is an analysis and cannot be expected in a straight news article.

Many of them are more compelling than erecting a sports palace to watch millionaire athletes run up and down the floor." Our focus as a community at large is how to salvage the diminishing resources we have -- how do we maintain public safety, keep our parks from disrepair and our community centers open. These are bigger quality of life issues affecting many more people than the elite group who can afford Kings tickets.

The newer members of the City Council are so concerned for their careers that they just go along, stifling whatever modicum of integrity they may have once had. Our current City Council is corrupt and, indeed, inept. Savage 2011-03-26T06:30:35Z Savage comment-48028 2011-03-26T05:45:58Z 2011-03-26T05:45:58Z Nice work Joel.

But think about it for a minute -- you say you have a mortgage you can afford, a monthly payment that's probably about the same as what you would have to pay for an apartment if you do walk away from your house. Unless of course you are planning on living with your mother or something. While you make payments on your house, you are still building equity and the market will stabilize and you will end up ahead. Still mortgage lenders are complete wankers, but I say don't walk away for spite. It could hurt you more in the long run than you think.

I think, perhaps, the Artists Contemporary Gallery, which opened in 1958 and ran about 45 years was the "ACG" gallery referred to, as opposed to Artists Collaborative Gallery.
