Won't somebody please think of them!

April 19, 2024 at 8:27 am on 2 New Projects Proposed for West Point Loma Boulevard in Ocean BeachThat is a very good way to potentially increase the supply of housing by disincentivizing persons from owning more than one unit of housing.

April 19, 2024 at 5:35 am on 2 New Projects Proposed for West Point Loma Boulevard in Ocean BeachI think you meant schedule E. Your comment is otherwise correct. I agree that it is insane. 
April 18, 2024 at 11:45 pm on 2 New Projects Proposed for West Point Loma Boulevard in Ocean BeachCurrently you can deduct more property taxes on an investment property than on your primary residence. That’s just insane. This is because of the $10K... April 18, 2024 at 11:40 pm on 2 New Projects Proposed for West Point Loma Boulevard in Ocean BeachWe should not be incentivizing any home ownership beyond your primary residence.

Thank god, finaly someone has stepped up and has began atleast some type of movement against the camera installation that wants to hurt our privacy. If we are paying so much money to live by the beach, we shouldn’t have worry about being recorded or on camera when we simply just want to walk our dogs at the beach or park.
Record away! I’m not bothered!!
You’re not bothered? Record away? Other than your right to privacy and your Fourth Amendment rights which other Constitutional rights would you like to just give away? Your right to Free Speech? How about the Right to Free Assembly? The right to be Secure in your Person? How about Free of Unreasonable Search and Seizures? You do realize people DIED to preserve those freedoms for you right?
There’s always a trade-off. If I’m assaulted by some knucklehead, my car gets broken into, someone vandalizes something, etc., I’d be happy it was captured on video. For me personally, I don’t care if the heat knows I walked down the sidewalk. So for me the positives of having cameras outweigh the negatives.
Chalrie can’t type, but we think he should: Clash
i’m scared, protect me mommy…
jesh…
whenevernever really about the matter at hand but more about what happens when our constitutional freedoms our ancestors spilled blood for no longer exist, the ones with the power and control will get board when there’s nothing to do they will start moving in to your homes, raping your wives, killing your kids and then just laugh in your face as they throw you in a cage to keep you quiet about the things they do, and what they did to you. That’s the point.
Where do we sign the petition?
