Is it ok to out people now on Sac Press?

That would be great. Or they could have surface retail and parking on top. I seem to remember a grocery store on Pike and Broadway that had this layout and it was a great addition to the neighborhood. Sacramento needs to start using our spaces more wisely.

That is true, but having a huge parking lot fronting the sidewalk creates deadspace and isn't very inviting for pedestrians.

Hansen: lying hack who will say anything to get elected Schanz: union hack who will do anything Bill Camp tells him to Yee: straightforward answers. Yee is looking pretty good at this point.

I was hoping for a more urban style design. Hopefully there can be tweaks to the design to reduce in impact of the surface street parking lot and make the co-op a more bike and pedestrian friendly destination.

So? By all accounts the St. Hope kids are getting a great education. Seems like money well spent.

How bad could have her numbers been that she had to drop out even after redistricting herself into a favorable district? (I've seen the numbers. They were worse than you could have imagined)

"Ms. Dalvi encouraged me to share the meeting details, which I did" Uh.....how is this a "secret meeting"?

It's a sad state of affairs that the SafeGround crowd sucks up most of the news, when the city and county should be working on building very low cost permanent housing with on-site support. But I get the feeling that the SafeGround folks and their supporters don't really want to see a solution to homelessness. For the SafeGround employees and their scumbag lawyer Mark Merin, it's just an opportunity to profit off peoples continued misery. For the elected official who get their name in print everytime their is a story about the homeless, it's a chance to let the voters know "they care" without having to actually do anything. These are the types of programs that are going to get people off the street and these are they types of programs that our elected officials should be supporting. http://www.sacramentopress.com/headline/57607/Salvation_Army_opens_housing_complex_for_homeless_families http://www.sacramentopress.com/headline/61094/Mutual_Housing_celebrates_opening_of_the_Highlands

Jibboom Street is right on the other side of the I-5. Caltrans is currently doing road widening to the Richards offramps which feed Jibboom.

Why the city was allowed to build on a floodplain I will never be able to understand. When the levees finally give way, Sacramento will make New Orleans look like a walk in the park. The federal government should agree to pay for the completion of the levees only if the city agrees to keep the building moratorium in place.

Excellent. These are exactly the types of programs that homeless and those folks living on the margins need. Sacramento County should consider raising the inclusionary housing ordinance to fund more developments like this.

I think we have our "Win-Win" Sac City Trustee: Take West Campus Swap Off The Table http://www.sacbee.com/2011/12/08/4109567/sac-city-trustee-take-west-campus.html

Then you should contact Gabe Ross and ask him why he told the crowd that St. Hope doesn't owe the district any money. Here's his number: (916) 643-9145

Actually you haven't explained anything. Since SCUSD says that the swap would cost the district money and your reasoning for the swap are foggy at best, none of this makes any sense.

At the November informational meeting the district held at West Campus, the SCUSD rep stated that St. Hope does not owe the district any money.

"The district has to provide the community with a high school." As you mentioned in your post above, you already have several choices to choose from. Apparently none of those options are good enough for you, so you will be sending your kids out of the district. That is your choice as well.

So if SCUSD doesn't have, as you say, "enough programs or decent schools to keep people in the district" what makes you think that having a comprehensive high school on the Sac High campus will change any of that? Sounds to me like you're not going to be happy no matter what the district does. Which leads me to wonder what all this is really about in the first place.

And Sac Charter pays rent to the district. The district is still getting money from the Sac High campus.

East Sac already has a comprehensive school to serve it's area. They also have the choice of sending their school to Sac High Charter. If they still want to send their kids out of the district that is their choice to make.
