would be true IF PUSD territory was the way it was back 20 years ago, in 1992.

Harvey, are you just the smartest guy in the world and everyone else are just retarded?[/quote]
Relax dude, I’m basically in agreement with the idea that this bond isn’t prudent, I just think the reaction here is overdone.
I honestly don’t know enough about PUSD and the development potential, I don’t know exactly where the borders are and believed Poway to have some remaining rural sections. But I haven’t studied a city planning map so if you say there’s nothing left to build, then you are probably correct.
As far as how smart I am, I am sometimes smart enough to ask the important questions, and the key question when making any decision is the following:
What are the alternatives and what are the expected outcomes?
So before we can label anything as a terrible choice, it has to put in the context of the alternatives. I don’t know what other choices the city had in this situation but I have noticed that nobody else here has even mentioned a better solution. (From what I can tell from the articles the city had do to something.)
Anyway, I really don’t care that much, as I live in Temecula and our city appears to be managed much better than Poway.
(BTW: My point about making choices amongst the real-world alternatives applies to elections as well. Political discussions here would be far more productive if more people realized that.)[/quote]
you don’t need a city planning map, just some common sense and google maps will do. personal suggestion is next time you assume a city’s tax base can increase by 5x within 20 years, just take a minute of thinking time before you make the comment.
