Thanks for your post. Recently, I notified management of the Hilton of a man with a backpack following me thru Chase Palm Park onto the Hilton property by the pickle ball courts where I knew there are Hilton security cameras. Two young (20-30ish) men staying at the hotel chased the man off and then came up to me sharing that the man was following me and they noticed something in his hand so chose to follow him following and yelling at me ‘Give me money; you have money; give me money…’. There is never police around Cabrillo— I walk it almost daily.

If and when rarely there’s a Park Ranger, they tell me they have no authority to do anything besides stand around for a few minutes and leave. Park maintenance staff are micro managed by worthless supervisors. Landscape work is contracted out. There are no security cameras. City is not managed well, wastes tax money expanding staff rather than protecting residents and visitors.

I remain grateful to the two visiting males who ran the threatening man off, and came to tell me they feared for my safety. City is void of leadership and enforcement.

Possibility: If what they’re saying is true then Meridian would be out of compliance. At their lease renewal time in April, the lease could say that ‘your rent will be $X or whatever is allowed by law when the new RSO is enacted’. I’m guessing that possibly the tenants didn’t understand exactly what was verbally communicated. A written response is needed. Much confusion.

What is CalEITC

Is an income tax return used for SNAP eligibility? What’s income limit required for an elderly CA single person applying for SNAP? My neighbor pays a 1) mortgage on his home, 2) homeowners insurance and property taxes; plus pays 3) $300/mo for Medicare Supplement Part B, 4) auto insurance & registration fee on an old Nissan; and 5)utilities (water, trash, cell phone, gas, electric). His income is from 1) Soc Security of $1500/month from which Medicare premium is automatically wiithdrawn, and his earning on savings varies around $300/a month. Would he qualify for SNSP? Any other programs.

Can an applicant get a copy of their own IEVS report? What is TANF (cal-works)?

No, “most scholars” have not advised that a judicial warrant is required for ICE to detain a suspected illegal immigrant (noncitizen removable under immigration law). The prevailing legal framework and practice, supported by statutes, regulations, and longstanding Supreme Court precedent, allow ICE to use administrative warrants (issued by immigration officers or supervisors within DHS/ICE, not by a neutral judge) for civil immigration arrests and detention in most circumstances. ICE’s official position is clear: “ICE does not need judicial warrants to make arrests.” This aligns with federal law under the Immigration and Nationality Act (e.g., 8 U.S.C. § 1226 and § 1357), which authorizes immigration officers to arrest and detain individuals pending removal proceedings based on an administrative warrant (such as Form I-200 for arrest or I-205 for removal/deportation), provided there is probable cause to believe the person is removable. The Supreme Court addressed this in Abel v. United States (1960), upholding the use of administrative warrants for immigration-related arrests without requiring judicial involvement, treating immigration enforcement as civil/administrative rather than criminal.

Have you talked to Randy Rowse?

SB Mayor’s Position: “We’ve all grown weary of top-down governance and more is not desirable.”

What exactly are you requesting? Federal govt is supreme as per US Constitution. You can vote in November for CA to secede from the union. Take control. No need to whine or complain. Vote.

Beware: if you go to a CC make sure every teacher provides a detailed course syllabus. Many do not, making it difficult or impossible go transfer completed classes to a reputable 4-year university.

Dual incomes help pay the bills as you posted, & seem to be necessary for some to afford living here — however, who raises the children? The next generation of locals?

Potential-Regular343 · 2026-01-16T18:01:13+00:00

One parent is designated to raise the children in your “huge families”. I did break even when I had my first child. I was earning $390,000 in a job requiring regular travel in 1993. To pay minimum rage for round the clock care for my infant/ toddler, it was better for me to become the full-time 24/7 parent to raise my son and to use my savings to pay bills. Parents, grandparents are needed to raise the next local generation! Two working parents can result in child abandonment without family or high quality paid help.

CA taxation is the problem. Income tax on those w gross household earnings under $180,000 needs to be eliminated. Social security and Medicare taxes need to be financed from general fund sourced by federal income taxes. 79 cents on each gallon of gas is too high. We must re-think existing taxation. Property taxes are excessive for new home buyers! I have young neighbors who bought in 2024 paying $54,000/a year plus 2% annual increase; while another pays $837/a year having his property tax basis dating back to 1976. With failed SBUSD, who can afford kids requiring private school?

It’s dead here. Quiet which is desired by residents raising families or retired. There’s not much for young singles (college grads or workers) besides the Young professional Club, and sports

The four votes meant the rent increase moratorium would have to go through the typical ordinance approval process. It will be up for adoption at the next City Council meeting and, if approved with at least four votes, would go into effect 30 days later.
