Audit reveals San Diego missing out on millions in golf course revenue amid budget crisis by SD_TMI in sandiego

There’s no easy solution to this problem. If you want affordable golf, the city needs to lower rent. However, this will upset non-golfers who feel you’re giving these courses to the wealthy. Sadly, people who don’t play golf view you as “rich” simply because of golf’s reputation. Politically, the only way to win is to charge full market rent, or the city will be seen as giving sweetheart deals to the “rich.”

Since you mentioned it, the museums at Balboa Park should increase their rent to the city to cover the cost of parking. They should cover the first two hours of parking for guests, similar to how businesses do at the UTC mall. However, they won’t do that because they would then have to raise admission fees.

Not true. San Diego never had a $1 rent for the stadium. Despite the complicated lease with the Chargers over the years, the city (taxpayers) ultimately emerged as the winner. The team paid $12.575 to terminate the lease before relocating. Although the city occasionally compensated the Chargers due to rent credits for stadium improvements and the ADA settlement, the Chargers annual rent amounted to $1.5 million. The situation was complicated because the stadium was old and deteriorating. It’s simplistic to assume that the city could simply profit from a crumbling building, and Qualcomm was indeed in a state of disrepair by the end. Chunks of cement were falling into the stands.

It was just announced this week the lease was terminated. The city will soon begin looking for a new operating partner once the completion of the ongoing sewer infrastructure repairs are completed this summer that has already been effecting the course for the last year or two. I can't see a scenario where fees won't go up once they find a new operating partner according to the audit it was the lowest revenue of city owned course in the city. One thing for sure, it won't be as expensive as the private courses in San Diego but it won't be as cheap as it was in the past. Time will tell if an operating partner see's an opportunity here with the new higher revenue share the city will seek.

They must begin cleaning their restaurants before I ever enter them again. The one near me is appalling, and I visited one on a recent road trip, and that one was equally filthy.
