Residential Burglaries since December 2007

For what it’s worth, the interactive Google map below was created using residential burglary data from the San Diego Police Department’s Neighborhood eWatch Subscription Service.

The majority of these burglaries are taking place in the middle of the day when Rolando Villagers are at work. The orange border in the map below shows the Rolando Community Council Membership borders. I do not have crime data from the area to the East because I do not subscribe to the La Mesa Police Department information. More to come…

Mini-dorm Short History

Controlling Mini-dorms – A History (in progress)

Here is a summary of efforts to control “mini-dorms.” These efforts are not intended to eliminate all rental properties in RS zones.

1980 Adamson v. Santa Barbara California Supreme Court Decision.
