Yay, Vicky!!!!

Yay, Samaritan HOuse!!!!!

I agree with the poster in principle. Municipal codes that automatically assign blame and therefore cost to damage to or by city owned and constructed property are dead wrong. Living on a street that has design flaws that has been dug up many times and repaired poorly (not to mention unse…

Let's get real here: The question is faulty. Any good researcher will tell you that half the answer you get to a survey depends upon the question and this question is phrased very poorly. Of course the perception is common that cities have crime problems, the bigger the city the more crim…

As always, thanks for the good sense, Jon.

In our money focused and litigious society (particularly in California) we tend to emphasize blame in order to shift the cost, both emotionally and financially. But even the police and the courts seem for forget the basic definition of "acc…

I'm missing something here, or something is definitely missing here. Where is all the coverage we should have from the Journal (not to mention other local and national media) of the NO Kings event in San Mateo? It was massive and peaceful. How about Belmont? I've read elsewhere about Palo…

Bravo, Samaritan House! Leading the way again. This is the model many of our social programs and philanthropy should consider. Though it may not work for all, it IS a path to working smarter and living better for many, if only we fund it fully.

Jon, I have always found you responsive and highly reasonable, even in our rare disagreements. Wish you did have the staffing to give all that extra coverage. Real journalism is dying in America, especially local journalism. I'm glad my subscription supports you here.

Sorry folks, but this fantasy that you can negatively incentivize drivers is nonsense. Until there is truly convenient economical end-to-end public transit - which is nowhere near more than a pipe dream here - cars are going to remain. I for one have never been convinced that HOV lanes an…

Stated clearly and respectfully, Antonio. Sadly, respect was not a two way street in this situation. "It's not personal, it's just business," is an old saying that fits here. To the community it's quite personal. To Zuck it's just business.
