ParticipantI have friends renting in the Valentia apartments – over by the new park/library off of Nobel/Judicial. They’re in a 3 bedroom + loft.

Participant[quote=sdduuuude]tg, I can’t say I agree that football should be top priorities for either an institution of higher education or a city government. That football takes a back seat in both cases seems right to me.
Maybe in the case of SDSU, they are missing out on a potential revenue opportunity and could build a football program without detracting from education, but the Chargers always seem to be all take and no give.[/quote]
I agree with sdduuuuude here… I lost all interest in the aztecs in the mid-80’s when I was going to SDSU… they wanted to increase student fees to pay for a new stadium simultaniously with significant cuts to the hours Love Library was open. Seemed a little ridiculous to priortize sports over academics.
But then again – I’m not into football and had to schlepp to UCSD to use their library (which was open weekends and evenings!)
I feel the same way about the Chargers… I have no problem letting them go. I don’t want my tax dollars to go to a for profit football franchise.
If you don’t like the traffic – use one of the park-n-ride spots to get to the game. I know the one at 805 and Governor is quite popular.

Participant[quote=outtamojo]So the BBB has the Moody’s business model, gosh I never knew that thanks.[/quote]
From their “About us” page:
Better Business Bureaus are private non-profit organizations financed almost exclusively by accredited business dues—dues paid by businesses and professional firms in local communities.
… snip
Our mission is to advance marketplace integrity through business self-regulation, assist in resolving disputes, and correct abuses to serve the best interests of the consuming public and business.
http://sandiego.bbb.org/about-us/what-we-do/And from the FAQ:
Does BBB Accreditation mean something different from BBB membership?No. The two are synonyms. From BBB inception, businesses that apply to the BBB have undergone a detailed review process and committed to abide by a set of ethical standards for marketplace conduct.
http://sandiego.bbb.org/bbb-faqs/#Does%20BBB%20Accreditation
Further reading shows that the review process involves asking the business under review to answer some questions. Not a very vigorous or impartial review, IMO. And if the business is not a dues paying member, the BBB won’t even take the complaint.
Yep – it does have the same business model as Moody’s or S&P rating agencies.

ParticipantEugene – would that be in the San Pasqual valley? If so – would the houses have to have some agricultural use? (I know there’s currently an agricultural zoned area in the SPV near the wild animal park.)
