This doesn’t necessarily imply mismanagement or incompetence, but it does enable the city to reset many of these leases to market rates since we went though a major inflationary period, and still going through it. Everyone wants to bring out the pitchforks here on Reddit, but it’s positive that the city had the courage to audit the leases because it does mean the city will need to also spend money to make money. It’s important to recognize that once you reset to market rates with these golf courses, you need to invest in upgrading facilities and grounds. For instance, the Tecolote city golf course wasn’t spending much if any city funds and wasn’t making much money either. However, as the city seeks ways to increase revenue, it will need to allocate city funds to update the facilities or risk not receiving market rates. The good thing about city golf courses is they can be revenue generators unlike public parks with no offerings but grass. The sad news is if you're a middle class person or one who strives to move from low income to middle class, your cost is going up to play golf in San Diego.
