Is there anything else you can talk about besides where to go to eat? Or going to Fashion Valley mall.
Considering Linda Vista is a low-income community.
Maybe low-income housing. Or helping with the homeless situation.
And maybe stopping all these eyesore apartments being built. Especially the apartments that were built facing Ulric Street across from Holy Family church. It's happening all up Ulric Street.
Of course, the owner took advantage of the housing shortage with government assistance now because of the housing shortage. He started when he first purchased Astro Vista apartments.
He doesn't live in Linda Vista, to see what an eyesore those apartments are!
Thank you for your comment. I wish to address your concerns. Our weekly issues usually contain four or five articles. Only one article per week is devoted to food/restaurants. These food/restaurant articles are popular with many of our readers, and we try to publicize local small business/entrepreneur restaurants as much as possible . In the past year we have written only three or four articles related to the Fashion Valley Mall. In fact, our latest issue makes no mention of businesses at the Fashion Valley Mall. Our mission is for LV Update articles to be informative, interesting, and fun, and so we make a point of writing on a variety of subjects, not just places to eat or the Fashion Valley Mall, as you contend. Please keep in mind that we write for a very broad audience. Yes, Linda Vista has residents that can be described as working class or low income, but there is actually a wide strata of economic sectors in our community and we want to appeal to all of them. We have written about the ADU dilemma in our community. Take a look at our February 8 issue. At the same time we have also written a couple articles about the new affordable housing developments adjacent to the Linda Vista Recreation Center, which I believe make a great contribution to our community. Our newsletter makes a point of publicizing the meeting dates for organizations like the Linda Vista Town Council and the Linda Vista Planning Group., as well as opportunities to talk with Councilmember Campillo We want residents to attend these meetings/forums so they can get their voices heard by our city leaders pertaining to such issues as affordable housing and homelessness. If you are concerned about these issues I suggest you and your neighbors/friends regularly attend these meetings. The Linda Vista Update is only one way to discuss these issues, and though we think we provide an effective forum, our newsletter is not the only community forum available. We have limited space and resources. But we offer our services for free. If you are not happy with what we are writing, my suggestion to you is to gather up your closest 1000 friends and see if they will all take up the option of signing up for a paid subscription to our newsletter. Such a paid subscription would only cost them $5.00 a month. Once we were assured that your closest 1000 friends were willing to subscribe for this fee, we would then feel comfortable about hiring two or three reporters and we could pay them to write more articles about homelessness and the housing situation in Linda Vista. And we would probably publish more than one issue a week. Until then, we will continue to do the best job possible while offering our humble services for free. Again, thanks for writing to us. We hope you keep reading.
Maybe SDG&E would let you bring a goat, or two, to the next meeting to introduce them to the concept of environmentally safer ways to clean up the mess around here 😉

All there is to see now is tall cement walls!!!
