Conservative and corporate interests like to load
their pet propositions onto primary election ballots, and 2012 is no exception.
In the City of San Diego, the Democratic Party urges a "no" vote
on Props. A and B, both shameless political ploys that would only harm our
city.
If Prop. A were to pass -- banning Project
Labor Agreements in San Diego -- no state funds could be used for any
construction project in the city. More than $100 million annually would be
lost, according to the Independent Budget Analyst's estimate. The absence of
those funds would further harm the city's ability to service its debt.
Prop. B would immediately impose a $56 million
cost on taxpayers by converting city workers' pensions to 401k plans in a
legally dubious way. By overturning good-faith bargaining at the
ballot box, this measure would be devastating for city employees, who gave
up Social Security as part of their contracts.
Democrats are also opposing Prop. D., an
effort in El Cajon to establish a city charter that would make it easier to
outsource jobs to lower-paid, out-of-town workers. In Oceanside the Party is fighting
Props. E and F, which would, respectively, increase rent for residents of
mobile home parks and manipulate the city's electoral system.

Those are going to make it unbearable for a lot of people to live there. If that happened here, most of the people would buy motorhomes for sale australia, pack up, then go somewhere more accommodating.
Well, if you think about it Robert, sometimes it's actually more ideal and convenient to live in a motorhome. At least, you get to go anywhere with your stuff right at your "home".
