If he was born in 1915, I certainly hope his mother would remember the 1800s. :p

San Diego has one the lowest TOT (Transient Occupancy Tax) in the state

Bullshit. Tourists in San Diego pay 12.5% (TOT + TMD). This is on the high side for the state:

"As of 2009, about 400 California cities—roughly 85 percent of the approximately 480 cities in California—imposed a hotel tax on visitors to their city. Sixty California cities levied a hotel tax that exceeded 10 percent."

We squeeze tourists a lot already. Raise it some more and people won't want to come as much.

Additionally, the city has several abandoned and underused buildings that should be converted to provide shelter to our fellow San Diegans, including the old library downtown, the old Charger Training Facility, and Golden Hall.

Have you ever been to the old Charger facility? It's incredibly inaccessible to the homeless population.

Edit: Just to clarify, yes, I advocate raising the TOT tax

Everyone wants to raise the TOT. It's a terrible idea.

Probably that it's all Male on Female abuse.

Woman can also be very skilled at psychological abuse and men are not seen as being victims. In fact, even when the woman is the abuser, society implies that the man must still somehow be to blame...

I work with a group that advocates for male victims of domestic violence.

Most people think it is just a joke... To the point that when males call in to report being abused, the victims are the ones who sometimes get arrested.

Frankly, you're wrong. It has nothing to do with deletionism, and everything to do with goaltending.

I've had completely non-controversial edits reverted in under 2 seconds by editors, who use their high ranking friends to protect their bad behavior.

It is clear they are not listening to us. I am not usually a fan of disruption,

You probably shouldn't be a member of Code Pink, then.
