...Executive Summary This report describes the results of a series of six eight-hour dialogues with San Diego County residents on possible approaches to the future of air travel and San Diego’s airport. There are three parts to this summary, which cover methodology, general findings and implications for action for decision-makers committed to leading a public learning process in support of a long-term solution to the San Diego region’s air travel needs. Methodology These intense, day-long dialogues were sponsored by the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority (SDCRAA) and conducted in March and April 2004. They were designed to assess residents’ views about the current airport at Lindbergh Field as well as how their views evolved as they came to terms with the pros and cons of four possible ways of addressing the airport issue. Viewpoint Learning conducted six specialized “ChoiceWork Dialogues,” each one comprised of 35 to 45 participants randomly selected to be representative of the general population. The dialogues were explicitly not site-specific – rather they focused on what kind of airport citizens would like to see and what their top priorities are for air travel and the future of the region. The dialogues were designed with several purposes in mind: • To provide an in-depth understanding of what San Diegans’ values and priorities are regarding air travel, growth, transit, and the economy; • To inform the design of an airport solution (including the site...

...Aside from the San Diego Zoo, the San Diego Wild Animal Park is the best place in San Diego to see animals. Over the spread of 1,800 acres, the animal park gives animals the room they need to roam and play. The animals here play just like they do in the wild, which almost makes you feel as if you are in their native of Africa and Asia. Throughout the 30 year history of the animal park, the Noah's Ark symbol of endangered species has grown to dozens upon dozens of animals. Now, every Arabian Oryx found in the wild is the descendant stock from the San Diego Wild Animal Park. In the park, there are many different paths you can take to visit the smaller animal exhibits. Although the smaller animals are a sight to see, the main thing to see is the hour long trip on the Bush Line Railway. Along the railway, you'll see animals that you'd never get the chance of seeing anywhere else, such as the white rhino and the rhinoceros. If you plan to visit the park in the summer, it's always a good idea to visit early. On a normal summer day, ten - fifteen thousand people will visit the park. During the winter, the ratio is down as normally 2,000 people will visit. Although it's much colder in the winter, the park is less frequent with people looking to see the animals the park offers. You can find the animal park 32 miles north of Escondido in San Diego. The park is in a peaceful area, which makes things a lot better for the animals that live...

...trying to set up in Fayetteville at the time we met. For the following two weeks, I learned the trade, digging trenches, taping windows, and hauling drums of paint around houses in San Diego. Danny had rented an apartment for the workers with mattresses on the floors and food in the fridge. It was tough work and hot in the California summer sun and my pay just covered my room and board and not much else. However, I told myself that I would not be doing this forever and that the plan was to set up operations on the West Coast before going back east with the product. Danny said we were going to LA for the weekend to visit his brother in the Valley and we could discuss our project in more depth. Driving to the San Fernando Valley in the van we arrived at Danny’s brothers around dinner time, we stopped just long enough to go to the bathroom and meet Danny’s brother. We then loaded into his brother’s car and since we had left the crew in San Diego, it was just me, Danny and Rudy, his brother. He was straight out of the 50’s driving a 57 Chevy convertible that was very clean. Rudy said we were traveling to Hollywood to party and that we could catch up on the way. Junior, Danny’s older brother, ran the show out of San Diego but appeared to be semi-retired, and Rudy was the one in charge of the business. We...

...in beautiful San Diego California, is filled with nothing but surf, sun, entertainment, and good times. The water is always nice and the surf is usually always up; so there is always a chance at some point during the day to catch some good waves. Since Pacific Beach is located in sunny Southern California, chances are you will be able to work on that tan when laying on this beautiful beach. Around this entire beach area, there are many establishments to stop by to grab a delicious bite to eat or even consume a few refreshing adult beverages. You can even cruise the boardwalk, check out the gift shops, and all of the outdoor equipment rentals. Pacific Beach is the little strip of paradise that has everything you need in walking distance. Pacific Beach is the beach in San Diego is the beach that has all the trash, drunks, bums, and high police activity. The water is usually freezing cold, filled with mounds of kelp, and if you are not careful an ignorant surfer can take your head off with his board. It is nearly impossible to sunbathe and relax on the shore. There are too many loud, obnoxious and usually intoxicated college kids running around and causing a scene. Since you can no longer sip on your own beer on the beach, you can get one at the overpriced establishments surrounding the beach. One can always get lost on the boardwalk as well, the crowds of people and all of the pan handling bums can be overwhelming just to look at some cheesy San Diego souvenirs. If...

...flight center involved various administrative situations. The problems started from the time of the acquisition of Pacific Industries based in San Diego by Atlantica Inc. based in Boston. Pacific Industries was a high-tech company. This seemed to be a great fit for both Atlantica Inc. and Pacific Industries. As a result of this acquisition, Atlantica developed a powerful position in the marketplace. However, the employees in the San Diego location started to disagree with the procedures set forth by the management in Boston. The employees were not able to agree on measures that needed to be taken within the company. The problems resulted in a strong bitterness between the employees and the management, and created an atmosphere filled with revenge. After the acquisition, Atlantica got two separate facilities; the Easter Flight Center located in Boston, and the Western Flight Center located in San Diego. Atlantica decided that both flight-centers could directly report to the company’s president. Another decision made by the management was to reduce the mandatory retirement age to 65. The later decision by Atlantica forced the manager and chief pilot of the Western Flight Center, who was also a former Pacific Industries Aviation director, into retirement, and replaced him with the head of Atlantica’s Flight Ops. The employees in San Diego location disagreed with this replacement arguing that the manager and chief pilot of the Eastern Flight Center, merely wanted to get rid of a...

...Social Innovation Exercise 1) One of the biggest problems we face in Southern California and all around the world is the issue if sustainable living and sustainable communities. Most of the communities surrounding the CA/Tijuana border are faced with infrastructure inadequacies due to a lack of government funding. As residents of San Diego we are almost completely oblivious to the fact that just 25 miles south citizens of the U.S and Mexico face issues with shelter, clean drinking water, pollution, and urban sprawl stressors. One of the most prominent issues currently facing the U.S-Tijuana border region is the high density of its urbanized canyons. Tijuana is filled with people who are struggling everyday for food and water. These citizens must piece together temporary structures that end up being washed away from rain. As a result of unsafe infrastructure and pollution the runoff consisting of tires, trash, and human waste is threatening the environmental vitality of the Tijuana River Valley Estuary. This problem is not only affecting Tijuana but also San Diego, causing everything from beach closures to destroyed wildlife. The issues described in the U.S/Tijuana region are not uncommon for low-income communities across the world. Countries such as Brazil and many regions throughout Africa are gravely affected by poor infrastructure. One of the biggest problems thus far has been locating proper funding and manpower to solve these inadequacies. Most of the people within...
