  • "It was not for all counties in CA, just some, it was explained that the holes allow officials in those counties to quickly check if there was a ballot in an envelope, perfectly reasonable, just odd it didn't occur to any if these geniuses officials to make sure the holes didn't expose sensitive information from the ballot, but trust those same officials??"

  • "I’m absolutely sure that the recent tariffs are not helping the situation downtown BUT every single local here in SLO county knows that businesses were in decline far before 2025. I’ve walked through downtown over the last five years and noticed a steady decline. It’s super sad as I was a local young adult in the 90’s when downtown was thriving. PISS POOR city leadership along with highly inflated rent caused many businesses to pull up their roots. Hopefully one day Californians will wake up and realize that the lib leadership they’re continuously voting for due to their loyalty to the ridiculous democrat party is not the same party it once was. WAKE UP CALIFORNIANS. TIME FOR CHANGE BEFORE THE GREATEST STATE IN THE UNION BECOMES MORE APOCALYPTIC THAN IT ALREADY IS!!!!!!!!!!!"

  • "What you just described is the opposite of data. Data would be evidence in the form of, or absence thereof, documents such as citizenship papers and/or contractor's licenses, of these brown people your eyes are telling you are here illegally. How someone makes it through the American school system or into adulthood without knowing this, is still, even in this day and age, hard to believe."

  • "Don't hold your breath! City leaders and their cohorts have no respect for historic buildings. The c.1845 Buitron adobe on Dana Street (next to the Oddfellows Hall), has been boarded up and left to rot ever since the previous owner generously willed it to the city to be a park in 1989. Our current city council and ALL their advisory committees (Cultural Heritage, Architectural Review, and Planning Committee) unanimously voted to cut down the lovely old trees and turn it into a 20-unit low income trailer park instead. Another horrible waste."

  • "The Harris Bridge was built in 1924 and is going to get demoed and no one will have a way to get out in the event of a fire or emergency. Tractors keep hitting the side of the bridge and the county has to send out teams of people to fix it. How much money has been wasted by not fixing it? It takes longer for ambulance and fire access. It wastes everyone’s time and money. I drive to work every day, it adds 10 minutes to my commute. That means each year I alone have wasted 2 days of my life just driving to work because of this detour. It adds 5 miles a day to my commute or 1,300 miles a year. So $730 in car milage alone, just for me. It’s been over 2 years now. Extrapolate that to the thousands of people in the area that use the bridge and you’ve costed the taxpayers $10+ million a year in extra expenses and 55 years of their lives in one year. $100 million since it’s closed. There should be a class action lawsuit against the county."

  • "The Motel Inn, first motel in the world, is one fine example. Privately owned, and it's remains sit idle, held hostage by a forbidding fence. Tourists might flock by this way if they could even stop by for a glimpse and perhaps purchase a few postcards. A bronze plaque mounted on the West side of the building facing the Apple Farm even says so. Horrible waste."

  • "We stopped shopping in downtown SLO a couple of years ago. The parking hassles and costs were a big factor. Then there are the bike lanes which have often erased a lane for cars. These bike lanes are frequently deserted at all hours of the day. The city, in its commitment to bikes, decided to inconvenience thousands of drivers for the sake of a few dozen bicyclists. Chorro street from Foothill to downtown is a good example of the absurdity of the bicycles first policy. And on top of it all, the city leaders are usually not responsive to public opinion and wishes."

  • "Paid parking sucks, especially when it’s expensive. Maybe go back to the old coin op machines and only in a few select areas. As for me, my kids have grown up so no more fun trips to SLO for clothes. We live in the North County. In the time since then, I started to pay attention to our local governments. I try my best to NOT spend money in SLO. It’s just wrong to support Communism. A change of leadership may fix the situation. Paso & Atascadero take note: Charging for parking is a major part of this issue. Please remember that the tax payers already own the streets. I truly feel that California is worth fighting for and we should work hard to get it back."

  • "This is a multi-faceted issue. People love to glom onto parking as a singular reason why downtown San Luis Obispo has been in decline in recent years. It’s much, much larger than that. The damn near monopoly of commercial real estate owned by 3 private parties (families) have all escalated rent costs so high, that now even global corporation’s are backing out on their lease agreements. They have completely squeezed out the original “charm” that brought mom and pop small business into focus of the 80s,90s, and early 2000’s. $20k/mo for a lease does not factor into any business plan profitably that can be supported by the small business owner in a population of 50,000. It’s simply untenable. Right behind that, are highly restrictive city counsel that need permits if you want to screw in LED light bulbs in the bathroom. The hurdles one has to go through to open a business is convoluted at best, highly expensive, and highly restrictive. This and other factors has led to a steep, steep decline in new business innovation, new concepts, new people open to taking on the risk of starting business in San Luis Obispo. How many coffee shops, hair salons, breweries, wineries exist here? Extremely saturated with the same concepts with a different skin. The over/under for opportunities vs risk is extremely out of balance, just ask anyone who has formed a business in slo the past 10 years. I truly believe why some of the classic staples that have been around for the past 20-30 years are still standing, is because their business model is strictly reliant on Cal Poly, and the tourism it brings seasonally. Without that factor, those will shutter as well. It’s simple: Surrounding cities are pulling away in terms of small business commerce because slo turned its back on them to cash in those Fortune 500 companies bottomless pockets, as did City Counsel. Now, one by one they are pulling out of Slo and the city, and the commercial real estate owners will be holding the bag…full of shit. Create a hospitable economic environment that allows and incentivizes small business owners to take the risk and prosper. Get on board or don’t. Everyone else is doing it."
