[quote=jpinpb]Exactly. We’re talking all the new construction in Chula Vista w/MR. They basically built a new city w/in Chula Vista called Eastlake. And they got plenty of revenue, I’m sure, from the development of that new town.
Now if the city wants to squander it, that’s fine, but don’t come back to the trough wanting more money from hard-working people.
I oppose this. I just have a problem w/it. Not that I don’t want to pay for services. For instance, the City of San Diego does not charge for trash pick up. That’s crazy. Charge for it. I’m willing to pay to have my trash picked up. I can’t think of any city I’ve ever lived in that does not charge for it.
I’m not looking for free services. But if you can’t manage finances, I have a problem w/it. I don’t want to fund people’s bad finances, whether it is someone who buys a home they can’t afford or a city that thinks money grows on trees.[/quote]
jp, Eastlake Shores is mostly in 91913, an earlier annexation. It began sales in 1987. In one development there, the 20-yr MR bonds are already paid off.
The 91914 zip encompasses the new communities of Rolling Hills Ranch, Salt Creek, San Miguel Ranch, and Eastlake Greens. The 91915 zip encompasses all of Otay Ranch and two newer Eastlake subdivisions.
The “People’s Ordinance” in the City of San Diego, I believe, provides that the fees for trash pickup be added to SFR owners’ property tax bills.
Any Piggs, please correct me if I’m wrong on this.
