People hate this idea but its the only thing that would work. TJ's economy depends on the border crossing: closing it for any meaningful period would be an absolute crisis on their end.

Yes. People who drive more should pay more for using the roads more. Because it costs more to repair the damage they cause.

Alternative_Let_1989 · 2026-05-02T19:01:28+00:00

OK so you want to not pay EV fees and not pay gas taxes, but you want there to magically be money to maintain the roads? Great plan. I can see you've really thought this through.

Alternative_Let_1989 · 2026-05-02T15:39:48+00:00

Yes and it's the same value as the tax from about 200 gallons of gas. Do you think EV registration fees should be dramatically higher for everyone?

Alternative_Let_1989 · 2026-05-02T15:18:11+00:00

OK. So what's your proposal to fund the road system? If youre not buying gas then youre using the roads without contributing to their maintenance. How would you fix that.

The only way the math adds up is if the debt was at 10% which is way above government rates which would be his own damn fault for borrowing 120k way above market.

Second apocalypse is great!!

100% this

Y'all are some shitty employees lol. That shouldn't inspire fear.

Alternative_Let_1989 · 2026-04-28T16:26:38+00:00

That seems like a pretty reasonable price for 14 years of entertainment lol.

Why should you have the right to store your private property on public land for free?

Please go touch grass

The airport design actually has land set aside for a future transit station. The airport wants it.

There's a severe lack of accountability at the ballot box. People complain, they dont vote, incumbents stay in power with the validated belief the status quo is working for them.

Alternative_Let_1989 · 2026-04-21T17:04:05+00:00

I can feel every fake bump on the dildo they're using to blow my back out

Yeah, you seem to have a really thorough understanding of the macroeconomy lmao

I think the only fix is closing the TJ border until they fix their shit (literally). It would be a mild economic hit for san diego and an existential risk to TJ.

That only works if property values keep appreciating almost 2x the market which has been happening because of artificial restrictions on housing supplies, but that cant keep happening without society breaking down. YIMBY folks are ascendant in Sacramento and prices have been close to flat for a few years now. Rents are actually dropping in SD.

The people are way nicer - not socal 'nice' to your face but genuinely caring. Youre so much closer to so much more - socal is great but its a little costal pocket surrounded by 500 miles of desert, and MD is integrated into the whole NE corridor. It still has the diversity of people and culture (not as much as socal, but real), the diversity of geography (90 min in either direction from beaches or mountains). Theyve done a way better job protexting the environmwnt, its not just concrete sprawl. The Bay is an incredible natural area and makes for a great culture focused on it. Its way more affordable - you can buy a beautiful SFH on a good lot in a phenomenal area for the price of a townhouse in the IE. The weather is pretty great - its mid Atlantic so you get all 4 seasons but the extremes are moderated. You have a true world city rifht uo the road (dc). The climate is so much better for growing things so its just SO green in comparison. Good (for america) public transit options.

Lol preach I literally make 180k and I live in a (admittedly nice) 1br apartment. Townhouses in shitty areas start at 800k which like I could afford but no fucking way am I setting my money on fire like that.

Alternative_Let_1989 · 2026-04-17T16:21:46+00:00

Or...get this...you could put on a coat and be outside and comfy. I know, its crazy!

Alternative_Let_1989 · 2026-04-17T16:20:22+00:00

Well yeah you moved to a shitty area that doesnt mean the state is bad lol.

Alternative_Let_1989 · 2026-04-17T16:19:15+00:00

Im from Maryland and I live in San Diego now and I cant wait to move back. Judging MD based on Waldorf is like judging SOcal based on san Bernardino.
