$2.68 is the going rate for a gallon of low grade in sunny San Diego. <br /> <br />As for sports teams I say let them leave.If every city took this veiw they would all be alot better off. The citizens taxes would not be paying for ugly buildings with huge wasteful parking lots. The money instead could go to making the city better like improving parks, libraries, schools, fixing potholes, paying police and firemen, you know the boring stuff. <br /> <br /> They should not get one cent of my tax money for a private stadium. If I wanted to go see a game I would have to pay $30 or some such to enter a building I helped pay for. No thanks. Those teams make $ hand over fist. They are moving into new stadiums and getting cities to pay for them and promising the world. In Fifteen years they will want a new stadium. Most of the fans come park watch the game and go straight home. They don't stay and spend money at places that would improve the city. The new Padres Petco (Taxpayer) Park was supposed to get fans to go to fancy restaurants but instead the games pay off for the sports bars. As far as most fans care the park could be on the moon instead of the middle of a city. The city itself is doing its best to pretend it is a mall anyway. All this and the Chargers say they will leave if the city doesn't pay for a new stadium. I will not miss them at all when they go. Don't let the door hit you on the way out Chargers. This is all just Bread and Circus stuff, fake blood sport to keep the people happy while they are paying big taxes and high gas prices. But at least our team won or (usually) lost. <br /> <br /> The Jets stadium over the rail yard in Manhatten is a bad idea a waste of valuable space. I knew this was a relivant topic somehow.
