very nice thanks rhonda

savemidtown , please educate me on somethings as i may be mistaken , workers comp i pay for as an employer and in my industry i pay over 600 per month for the avg employee who unless hurt recieves nothing ( for 600 he could have full medical and even an accidental policy) Social security has been mis managed by our govt. and may not be available for those in their 30's when they reach retirement age , disability we ( employer and employee pay into ) ? i dont feel there is a safety net provided by the govt. ( i am a fan of californias health services) I am not providing documented proof except the workers comp and do not request you do as well however it seems your argument is a little thin and i am always open to increased education

tamie, the fees are also on infill development as well it will hurt all development not just suburban crap.. additionally other cities are waving fees to stimulate development ( read my first post) i do not disagree with funding transportation through development.. however ,lets be sure we are implementing with the return of the economy.. Additionally lets be sure we are funding the right projects(i.e. transit before highways) and not just putting cal trans workers to work concernin tattoo parlors, marijuana dispenseries or bars . the market determines all that (hell, yogurt shops) the market will determine what survives or doesnt.. please dont attempt to control retail or small business through govt regulation or all small business will disappear

Dale if I remember correctly the tracks had to be moved to facilitate frieght lines as the current track bend was too sharp and didnt facilitate large trains/ cars etc. ??? & if we were to increase or even continue use of the heavy tracks that it was a "have to" . I am sure someone else on this thread remembers this during the many stakeholder meetings of the past..?

jim the teams may have failed financially but the games were sold out ,fans packed the stadium/arena ( the canadian "surge" as well the arena "attack") the games were good family fun . I am thrilled to have another option besides the high priced ( for good seats) Kings and river cats baseball both of which i love .. I will be there for sure ... see you in the hot dog line!!
