Eber: Proposition 64 — Legalization of Marijuana Measure

By Stephen Frank on Sep 20, 2016 08:24 pm
I consider myself a conservatarian.  I am a social conservative and a libertarian on economic matters.  The issue of legalization of marijuana is a difficult one for me—I believe people should have the freedom of choice, but also believe that society should not be paying the health and societal costs of those using drugs.  I […]

San Fran and Tiny Apartments: The Third World is Coming Soon to the Bay Area?

By Stephen Frank on Sep 20, 2016 08:19 pm
What do you call an apartment building with 160 units, all under 300 sq ft?  I call it a dorm in a Third World country.  Instead it is the way San Fran is handling affordable housing—big homes for the rich and dorms for the poor.  Think you can raise a family in a 300 sq. […]

Sand: Heartless and Mindless

By Stephen Frank on Sep 20, 2016 08:14 pm
Unions will get away with anything the school boards will give them.  In LAUSD, home of the 54% graduation rate, the district is recognizing a union, UTLA, that if promising chaos in the schools and classrooms.  These threats are accepted by government schools and the media has yet to denounce this attack on the education […]

Los Angeles is Doomed Unless Angelenos Act to Stop Densification

By Stephen Frank on Sep 20, 2016 08:08 pm
You do not want to drive on the westside of Los Angeles, the Wilshire district or in the downtown area.  In fact, you do not want to drive in Los Angeles unless you have a few hours to kill.  Government transportation is extremely expensive when you consider the tax subsidies of the system.  You could […]

Proposition 65: A Trial Lawyer’s Gift Which Keeps on Giving

By Stephen Frank on Sep 20, 2016 08:02 pm
Years ago the junk scientists getting government grants told us that drinking soda would cause cancer, if you drank too much.  How much was too much?  Seven cans a day for seven YEARS.  You would float away and drown before you developed cancer.  We were told that artificial sugar would create cancer and alar on […]

Prop 57-A “Criminal’s Bill of Rights.”

By Stephen Frank on Sep 20, 2016 07:59 pm
Prop. 57 looks and sounds like it was written by a combination of the ACLU and career criminals.  Imagine getting a one hundred year sentence and you can be out in as little as eight years.  What criminal wouldn’t want that?  In fact, a 100 year sentence can be served in TWO years. “Governor Brown’s […]

LAUSD: I’m very skeptical of online recovery programs’: Q & A with board President Steve Zimmer

By Stephen Frank on Sep 20, 2016 07:56 pm
It is very sad when the President of the Los Angeles Unified School Board is forced to note that the creation of phony credits for students to graduate via online “classes” is wrong. “Q: What are your concerns? What do you want to see done this year? What did you learn from last year? A: […]

Patients Turn To San Diego Stem Cell Companies For Costly, Unproven Treatments

By Stephen Frank on Sep 20, 2016 07:53 pm
Do you trust your doctor or do you trust a bureaucrat in Washington to determine the medicine you should take and the procedures you should endure?  When was the last time an official of the FDA examined you to prescribe drugs and operations?  The idea that someone who has never seen you or even know […]

San Diego Works HARD to Keep Home Prices High and Unaffordable

By Stephen Frank on Sep 20, 2016 07:49 pm
The city council and the Board of Supervisor in the city and county of San Diego make it difficult to build a home to meet the needs of the middle class or the poor.  Instead they are limiting the number of homes built, making the regulations more expensive—and the permitting process is longer meaning the […]

How California fell billions below what it owes public retirees

By Stephen Frank on Sep 20, 2016 07:45 pm
Until 1998 CalPers was run by economic and fiscal principles.  The financial base was solid, because they made promises based on the money received and how much they had to send out.  That all changed in 1999 with the passage of SB 400—a Democrat bill that a few Republicans actually voted for.  One of them […]
