We actually agree on something.

Actually, 47% of the Open Space department budget is spent on debt service. Open Space is house poor. There is also a distinct bureaucratic bent on limiting access as opposed to managing the trails we have.

The most interesting part of this is that the PUC legal staff is saying that Xcel cannot cut energy programs because the city must have another vote, but the city wants it both ways. For one argument they do not need another vote but are only in the early stages and "considering" the options, and for the other they already have the right to municipalize. Anyone who ever bought the off-ramp argument - I've got some great real estate in the Everglades.

And how often do "we read about" a home intrusion where the homeowners are brutalized, woman raped, children harmed, property stolen?

Men are not the only stalkers in the world.

Regional in the City means south of Baseline, east of Folsom and north of Iris.

I am not criticizing the TV media at all. They are doing what they perceive to be as their jobs. In the absence of information, they are looking for neighbors willing to go on camera and talk or provide facts about the couple. I get it.

I am just trying to provide some information since I live right up the road and walked around to see if I could find out what neighbor, what happened, etc. My intent was not to be hyperbolic either. This is not the first time a home in this neighborhood has been burglarized, robbed, invaded. I cannot be certain, but I am pretty sure they felt as though their home, privacy and sense of safety were being invaded.

More ways are zoning and planning are carbon unfriendly.

TV news media are swarming the neighborhood - trying to drive the story. Cops have not released address or any tidbits. The back of this house is pretty easily accessible from the open space trail that leads up to the Flagstaff Rd lookout. I think it's the Vista Trail.

My condolences go out to my neighbors whose home was invaded. It is not the first home invasion in our neighborhood. Though I am sorry as well that the woman got shot, having an intruder in one's home, in the bedroom at 3:30 a.m. warrants action.

Which biz? I would like to support you.
