Just because a law is on the

[phaster]

Just because a law is on the books does not mean a city official(s) or a city bureaucrat will be mindful of the rules or use common sense

all ya have to do is ask all the women who I’m sure don’t think too highly of bob filner’s actions…

sadly kind of sexual conduct was reported in the news by SDPD officers (guess they following the example of the old mayor, or is that vice versa)

then there are news reports of bribes by foreign nations to SD politicians

the billion dollar bond issue in poway, the south bay school district (pay to play scandal)

so is it too shocking, to expect there isn’t some funny business in RE

WRT the the mills act, perhaps you should start at the beginning of that thread, where I first posted a response to another post

Keep in mind that the city auditor issued a report that stated, software the city uses in the building dept, allows “fraud”

and a quote from Jim Mills, a former state senator

“I have to admit what I had in mind was significant buildings and houses, and I now see houses being covered by the Mills Act that were not what I had in mind,”

One thing I learned, the negative stereotype about politicians, lawyers, etc., exists because its based on something larger than a kernel of truth AND when there is money involved not everyone was engrained with the expression from my dad who basically said:

“I’d rather earn a dollar honestly, than a million dollars dishonestly”

Turns out in my naive belief the system was based on honesty, was sadly misplaced
