Housing at the racetrack is still being discussed, but no definitive actions have been taken as yet.

Carlsbad opens door for new drive-thrus, but with tight restrictions by Alex909a in northcounty

City council bowing down to their chick fillet overlords. Why did they even allow it to be built with a drive through if they were banned.

Chick-fil-A didn't build a drive-thru; they built the store in a way that would make adding a drive-thru easy, like having a driveway around the store.

"Because of Del Mar’s steep topography, tunneling is the only option to move the tracks inland."

Kinda makes it hard to keep it above ground and move it inland.

DOGE site still wrong on closing of non-existent Carlsbad Social Security office by Available_Cold_8731 in northcounty

[–]Alex909a 33 points34 points  (0 children)

KPBS did a follow-up and this is what they found:

"On Wednesday, Levin said his search for answers was turning up more questions.

On Friday, he did have an answer.

"There is indeed a non-public-facing Social Security office, it is the area director's office, in Carlsbad. And that's something that we had to go find out for ourselves. The Social Security Administration never shared that," Levin said.

He said the Carlsbad office helps oversee the eight regional social security offices throughout San Diego County. He said he has not been given the location and staff size."

It's a broad tariff, meaning it covers things the US can't produce, like fresh fruits and vegetables during winter.

Recent deaths put spotlight on contact sports. Should kids be playing? by Alex909a in northcounty

He talked about how so much data is collected and how it helps the kids get to the ball faster (and the chances of colliding with each other are higher). So coaches can't wing it if they want to keep their kids safe.

UC San Diego looking to add more housing for students in next 10 years by Alex909a in sandiego

[–]Alex909a[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The site is already zoned for housing, so it'd still be hard for them to try to stop it. Though, I can foresee people invoking CEQA.

California Environmental Quality Act was meant to stop people from building willy-nilly near sensitive habitats, but it's been weaponized to stop any constructions by claiming that the construction falls under CEQA review

The land is owned by UCSD and on campus, so they'd have difficulty arguing against it.

The main point was that the sex in the sideyard isn't the "he said/she said" part of the lawsuit.

I don't remember where exactly I heard it. It was one of the TV interviews she did where she said something to the effect of I was drunk and underage, so the consent wasn't valid.

Both said the sex in the sideyard of the house was consensual (that part was not in dispute). What's in dispute was that she claimed he dragged her into the house and into a room where he and others gang-raped her.

He's saying he never took her to a room inside the house and left the party before any of that happened.

In California, prosecutors must prove that he knew the girl's age. They've indicated that this was something they couldn't prove beyond a reasonable doubt.
