“When I look at it, I still think the
density & the walling off & the degree that it is, it wouldn’t
be my personal preference. It would be better to have more green space

folk songs of the 1960s will never
be written again because of President George Bush. He has hampered the
liberties of my country in the name of September 11. Songs now can only
talk of patriotism they cannot mention peace.”

John’s Fifth Avenue Robbed Twice in
Ten Days
John’s Fifth Avenue
Luggage, 3833 Fourth Avenue,
has had two break-ins in the past week and a half. They sent HillQuest
this photo of the (alleged) thief in an attempt to outreach to other
area shops and share information. The man used pilers to pull the lock
completely out of the door, then tripped the inside lock. He stole
money and merchandise from the longtime Hillcrest shopkeepers. The
crimes are committed at night with the aid of a man during the first
break-in, then woman who drove the getaway car on the second occasion.
If you have pertinent information to share, please contact Sue
Sneeringer at (619) 574-0086 or the SDPD.

In
today’s UT letters to the Editor: Condo
conversions do hurt renters...
Regarding “Legally condos/San Diego lowers hurdle to affordable homes”
(Editorial, Aug. 7): Your editorial was an insult to renters and those
who work for affordable housing for San Diegans. The Union-Tribune
claims “there is absolutely no evidence that condo conversions have
hurt local renters collectively.” I don’t know what neighborhood the
editorial writer lives in, but here in Hillcrest there is great
frustration and anger over renters being displaced to make way for
ugly, overpriced, completely unaffordable condo projects. Anti-condo
graffiti is cropping up everywhere, and Hillcrest diehards are leaving
for neighborhoods where home demolitions by the block aren’t a daily
occurrence. read more |

“If that had been our report, maybe, just
maybe, this whole issue wouldn’t have happened. Maybe someone could
argue that we wouldn’t have a ballpark then...But maybe someone could
argue, well, you couldn’t afford a ballpark.”
