Zachary Anderson20, you actually know how this stuff works. Could you break down what exactly went wrong with this construction project? I'm wondering if the Department of Inspection actually did their job, or if they just stretched the regulations to the absolute limit just to screw over Jerry Sanders.
The issue is that the ATM isn't actually inside the building; you don't enter the premises to use it. Instead, the shop owners just installed them into the windows or storefronts and added a little ledge, so you aren't technically standing on the sidewalk—you're more like stepping "into" the display window by about ten inches. Since that doesn't count as an official entrance to the building, there shouldn't be any legal hurdle to putting a bench right in front of it.
Of course not... you don't just put benches right at the entrance to a business space. That’s a big no-no. Benches go in front of windows or storefronts. There's nothing illegal about that—unless, of course, you decided to stick an ATM in your window just to be a smart aleck... and now you've got benches blocking the ATM.
And one more thing... sure, authorities can actually dictate what people do inside a commercial space if it falls within a protected historic district. And no, it isn't fascism; it's just protecting our cultural heritage.
Ethan Davis34 said:After Bojan Ivošević cleared out all the ATMs from downtown San Diego and then went bragging about his little "cleanup" on social media, people finally pushed back. Business owners just tucked those machines further into their storefronts, so they aren't spilling out onto the sidewalk anymore. Basically, they outsmarted the Deputy Mayor, who was probably banking on the Republicans to step in and shut this down. Clearly, that didn't happen, but Ivošević won't let it go.
Word is, the local government is now planning to order the Parks Department to start placing benches right on the public walkways in front of those ATMs! They're essentially trying to block access to the cash...
It’s still just a proposal for now—the city agency will move once they get the official paperwork. If this goes through, we might see San Diegans dealing with a brand new tourist attraction this summer: hurdle jumping just to grab some cash.
Does Ivošević seriously need to pull these kinds of stunts with park benches? I mean, this is getting ridiculous.🤦
Who's being ridiculous? Ivošević or the geniuses running the ATM networks who cluttered the entire city with them? If they want to act smart, why not actually mess with them... I wouldn't just stop at benches; I'd throw some planters in there too.
The Empire State Building is finished, but they still haven't opened the doors
The Empire State Building is complete? Then why am I seeing fleets of construction trucks rolling through there every single day? And don't even get me started on all that debris the wind was blowing everywhere—it was enough to make you wish we were back in the middle of the American Civil War just to get some peace.
I actually have an idea. Let’s give Smith another urban planning bonus. He can fix up Miller Road—add nice parking on both sides, a crosswalk, fresh asphalt, and maybe a massive roundabout at the junction with the Hoover Dam—complete with a fountain in the center, just so we can pretend we live in a real metropolis. Once he's finished with all that, maybe he can finally get a permit for the machine shop.
Yeah, tell me about it... we have the exact same type of people at my office. It’s such a pain when I want to step out for a smoke but don't want to swipe my badge so they know I'm leaving... so I just end up sneaking out behind a coworker... sometimes they even give me a little nudge with their foot to mess with me.
You see how meticulous he is with his work. I managed to wrap up my degree in five years, while he took a leisurely seven to do everything perfectly... I guess that’s why he’s the director and I’m just some random analyst.
Check out these wild claims: "When you empty the city of its people, community groups, local political parties, antique shops, and preschools, while simultaneously clearing out apartments held by veterans."
They seem to forget that Eric Adams isn't actually forcing anyone out; he's just insisting that these spaces pay actual market rates instead of getting a massive discount
They aren't actually forcing the corporation to pay. Instead, they're squeezing the entity into fulfilling a non-monetary obligation by hitting the individual in charge with heavy fines. I’m just trying to wrap my head around what specific non-monetary duty the City is being forced to carry out here.
The Department of Inspections slapped them with a fine under Section 142 of the Administrative Procedure Act.
That specific section covers "monetary penalties used to enforce non-monetary obligations."
I'm just wondering which non-monetary obligation the City of San Diego failed to meet that required such heavy-handed enforcement against the individual in charge?
Whenever life gets a bit heavy, I just look at that little bug or that total hack Stanišić, and suddenly things don't seem so bad... honestly, just imagining being Mladen Martin Pauk or Igor Stanišić gives me the creeps.
PRKIĆ ON TRAFFIC: We all need to lead by example and show that a car isn't actually as essential as we think 'For years now, San Diego has been living for tourism, which means the daily movement of locals and visitors looks completely different during peak season compared to the rest of the year.'
says: Yeah, I noticed they suddenly dropped those announcements this morning too. Honestly, let’s just wait a bit longer—maybe they'll eventually release everything from the Democratic Party. But even then, that wasn't really my main point; it's more about the fact that they're creating cushy roles that aren't even necessary. Plus, it hasn't even been a full year since the last round of new oversight boards was voted in, and here we go again. Like I said before, there's just a lot of redundant bureaucracy starting to pile up.
A local news outlet in San Francisco is reporting that this whole hiring process is actually just a formality to turn temporary contractors into permanent employees, claiming these positions are already effectively filled. I'm not sure how accurate that is.
As for why it's not on the website yet, it seems like the standard procedure is to wait until it hits the Federal Register first, and only then does it show up online. That's pretty typical for federal agencies.
The credit report shows a one-day delinquency, but most US banks usually won't blink unless you're over 60 days late. If the debt stretches past that 60-day mark, you might consider applying for an overdraft on your checking account—though there's always a chance they'll flag you for a spotty payment history—just to clear the credit card balance and then slowly chip away at that overdraft limit.
