San Diego — We Need to Pay Attention As a Realtor and downtown resident, I’ve watched what should be one of the most beautiful cities in the country struggle with rising taxes, declining infrastructure, and questionable spending priorities. Now, the County Supervisors (with Supervisor Jim Desmond as the lone dissenter) are discussing yet another new tax — this time a dramatic increase to the real estate transfer tax. Let’s look at context. San Diego County’s budget is now $8.6 billion. Five years ago it was $6.2 billion — roughly a 40% increase. Ask yourself: did your household income or business revenue rise 40% during that same time? If not, how is government spending growing at that rate? During COVID, the county reportedly added roughly 2,500 employees and created 10 new departments — adding approximately $300 million per year in salary and benefits. Meanwhile, many services still feel underperforming. We also saw emergency reserves reduced and reports of $45 million in bonuses being issued. That should concern anyone who understands the importance of fiscal buffers in a region prone to fires and earthquakes. Now to the proposal being discussed by Supervisors Terra Lawson-Remer (District 3) and Monica Montgomery Steppe (District 4): a major increase in the real estate transfer tax. This isn’t a minor adjustment. It’s being described as a 5,455% increase. To put that in perspective: On a median-priced home sale, the transfer tax would jump from approximately $1,084 to over $60,000 — before capital gains taxes, commissions, and other closing costs. What happens then? • Fewer homes come on the market • More properties convert to rentals • Seniors and long-time owners become locked into place • First-time buyers face even tighter inventory That doesn’t make housing more affordable — it constrains it. Meanwhile: • Beach access continues to be impacted by sewage flow issues from the Tijuana River • A new trash fee adds $60–$100 per month per household • City and County homelessness spending approaches $160 million annually • $24 million was spent on limited-use bike lanes on 4th and 5th Avenue • The Gay Pride Promenade project carries a $30 million price tag Regardless of political affiliation, this is about accountability. If we ran our businesses or households this way — expanding spending dramatically without measurable performance improvement — we would eventually face consequences. San Diego should be thriving. Clean streets. Safe neighborhoods. Vibrant commerce. Responsible budgets. Predictable taxes. Instead of defaulting to “just raise revenue,” maybe it’s time to ask harder questions about spending priorities and measurable results. Engaged citizens are how change happens. @amyforsandiego @RichardPBailey_ @Adventuring_RE @LukeSlywaker @jim_desmond

So awesome.

THE GOAL HEARD AROUND THE WORLD 🥇🥇 #WINTEROLYMPICS

Jack Hughes, who scored the game winning goal for the United States: “This is all about our country. I love the USA.”

Marco Rubio with one of the greatest speeches by a Sec of State in decades: "We are prepared to do this alone but it is our preference, and our hope, to do this together with you, our friends in Europe. America was founded 250 years ago, but the roots began here on this continent long before. The men who settled and built the nation of my birth arrived on our shores carrying the memories, the traditions, and the Christian faith of our ancestors as a sacred inheritance, an unbreakable link between the old world and the new. We are part of one civilization, Western civilization. We are bound to one another by the deepest bonds that nations could share, forged by centuries of shared history, Christian faith, culture, heritage, language, ancestry, and the sacrifices our forefathers made together for the common civilization to which we have now fallen heir. And if at times we disagree, our disagreements come from our profound sense of concern about a Europe with which we are connected, not just economically, not just militarily. We are connected spiritually and we are connected culturally. We want Europe to be strong. We believe that Europe and the West must survive."

The Super Bowl is tomorrow. I’m posting this throwback from Whitney Houston, and her rendition of the National Anthem. This is from 1991, Desert Storm was in progress, and we had over half a million troops in Kuwait. This performance still gives me goosebumps, and is, without a doubt, the best version ever!

Incredible. Football star Matthew Stafford brought his kids on stage to accept the MVP Award, celebrating fatherhood at the NFL Honors View children as blessings, not burdens

This is what I voted for! D.O.G.E. has finished its clean-up of Social Security & they have remove a whopping 12.3 MILLION scammers from the Social Security system. If each fraudulent person was making just $1800/mo, then D.O.G.E. just saved Americans $22,140,000,000 A MONTH.

Rubio finding out he has to fill in for Nicki Minaj at her concert…

35 Years Ago Today. It doesn’t get better than Whitney Houston’s version of the National Anthem at Super Bowl XXV.
