Quite a view tonight! Jupiter is the top left dot. Then below and to the right, is our moon. To the right and bottom of The moon is Venus. The swirly things appear to be the trails left behind by a rocket launch. And of course the sky and the El Cortez is the backdrop for it all.

Last year in 2025, the city of San Diego banned the use of AI driven software apps and sites that coordinated property managers and owners in different cities and regions to collectively raise their rents in a well coordinated manner.

The software/sites even worked to tell the owners/managers t delay or not rent out units in order to drive the prices up in different cities across the USA.

________________

There's a narrative that is being fueled by the real estate associations and construction union lobby groups to drive the narrative that building new units brings down rents so as to get public support to lower safety, standards and environmental restrictions among the public and they can make more money.

So the very next quarter AFTER the restrictions on the use of these software AI apps and websites were banned and management companies were forced to work without their "guidance" in the pricing of local rents.

GUESS WHAT HAPPENED?

The Prices all went down.

Now we have voices still saying that these prices are down because the city has approved all this new "dense" construction. I say that the key factor is that the software being banned for price fixing is the reason we have started to be given a break.

Among all the top major cities... SAN DIEGO is the earliest that banned the software and the among the first to have a decrease as market are allowed to self regulate.
Other cities followed suit and as of a few months ago the State of California also enacted a ban.

^(Of course the conservative media that is in bed with all this corruption (partner with the SD Union Tribune) is trying to continue the false narrative that building is the key.)

We're Doing It Again!

Okay I got a great spot
Fire gets lit at 7-ish

Lots of parking, safe with good lighting
Friendly people in the rings next to us.

We’re at the parking lot beach to the east of the Bahia Hotel. Follow the directions and take the RIGHT Turn Off of West Mission Bay Drive. Go into the parking lot on the RIGHT SIDE of the hotel.

Don't go and circle around to the back... we're right next to the hotel in the large parking lot off of West Mission BEFORE you get to Belmont park.

We’re the fire ring to the west of the lifeguard station (white truck)

(Google Maps Link)

We’ll be able to catch the sea world fireworks (if there's not a drone show) from this location .
Bring a light jacket /layers just in case

The fire is going to be plenty warm and I’ve got a truckload of wood here so we aren’t going to run out.
The people on either wide of us are cool and friendly... so it's all good

I’ve also got watermelons, and some fresh fruit to share. Bring whatever you want
IF enough people show up I'll break open a nice sized jackfruit to share!

We’ll spark it at sunset 8-ish

The last time we’re were here the cops didn’t bother us…. So this is pretty good for people.
It’s a well lit parking lot with bathrooms to the right of the lifeguard tower.

Show up and meet new friends !!!
We’re doing this every Friday for the community so people can get together and have a good time!

Again, Google Maps location

Codeword is “flip” or r/SanDiego Reddit
Just so we know 👍🏼

Is this normal?

This is the best part of SD where i think about life and also heal at the same time, as nostalgia kicks in always
