Wasn't able to upload my STRS account. Very disappointing that phone number would not accept calls. Drove to the San Diego STRS office for assistance. They were extremely knowledgeable and helpful getting my logon working. read more

The employee working at Window 12 was the only bright spot in an otherwise frustrating experience…read more I came in with a complicated licensing issue during a statewide outage, and while most people would understandably be stressed, he stayed calm, professional, patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful the entire time. He treated me with respect and actually seemed interested in solving the problem instead of making customers feel like a burden. The DMV needs more employees like him. Unfortunately, two of the women at the front counter acted like helping customers was personally offensive to them. I was snapped at just for approaching the counter and immediately met with hostility for no reason. If you hate dealing with the public that much, customer service probably isn't the right job. Being stressed is one thing; being rude and dismissive to people asking for help is another. Their behavior was honestly horrifying from my point of view, as someone who has also worked customer service her entire adult life. Window 12 is the only reason this office is getting 4 stars instead of 1. He carried the entire experience.

If you go online it says one thing but when you go in person it's a totally different ball of wax. I literally went there for a full week straight because of all the bureaucratic mess. But the ppl were chill, I didn't have no attitude or cuss them out. They are just doing their jobs, but it's the agencies that don't speak to each other is what pisses you off. I was there so much, one person thought I actually worked there.

In his appraisal report to my broker, he wrote that my home was located "three miles east of downtown (SD)", despite the fact that my home is one mile from the ocean. The comps that he used were not remotely comparable to my home. I drove to the comps myself to see them with my own eyes and examined the available literature on zillow.com and trulia.com. When my broker rebutted his appraisal, per my broker, he claimed that his comps were "superior" to my home and that "the comps are the comps". While in my home, he commented that he has been trying to convince his mother, who lives in Pismo Beach, to move to Imperial Beach. He commented that his mother could buy a "nice" condo on IB for 400K, despite current listings that show that you can't buy a "nice" closet on IB for 400K. Please do not waste your time with John Droege or his services. He will not take the time needed to give you an accurate and fair appraisal. BTW: I'm a licensed Ph.D., a California State Supervisor, and a professor at a local University. You can choose to believe me-- or take your chances with John Droege.

Luckily, the kids area is separate and most adults know that it's weird to be alone in the kids section, without kids with you. I really appreciated all the events this library used to hold, pre-COVID, so I hope that programming can come back when everything is safe again. The staff are very dedicated to this little branch.

It is amazing how the Port handles all of the commercial water traffic in San Diego Harbor and at its marine terminals. The Port also maintains over 20 waterfront parks that are a pleasure to visit. My interactions with Port personnel has always been very nice. We love the Maritime Month celebrations in May and the opportunities for "behind the scenes" tours with Port guides. This year, we took a bus tour of the National City Marine Terminal and the Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal -- the two main commercial operations. Our guide was one of the Port's wharfingers, one of the people responsible for day-to-day activities at the terminals. Very informative and enjoyable.

As a result, I went to my local bank to acquire proof of the transaction and took it down to this office. I was a walk-in and did not have an appointment, but I only had to wait for about 40 minutes for an agent to call me to the window, after I checked in. At the window, the agent told me that the reason why I received the notice was that my payment had not been posted prior to the notice being sent out. He could see in the system that in fact I did pay the taxes etc. What I don't understand is that I made the payment a month prior to the date on the notice. You would think somebody would have noticed. An electronically sent payment should be automatic. In the end, they gave me a receipt for the payment that I made earlier, but did not apologize for my inconvenience.

Today, however, you can enjoy the tree's canopy from a viewing platform installed three years ago.

It has been a 5-star experience, from last week and this morning. I would like to give special recognition to a particular staff that assisted us on both occasions. On both times, we must have picked her brain for a good hour. I apologize for not remembering her official title. Eva has been most helpful and patient through out our quit claim process. She kept things positive and was always reassuring. As she lead the way in keeping us on track and then letting us know what's to be expected, I knew my nerves would be much calmer. Documents and forms (quit claims), if not filled out properly, can cause major issues in the long run. Our fear in filling, filing and getting notarized and then finding out parts/all of the steps was missed. Who wants to keep back-tracking on missed stuff and correcting information....definitely not a good plan. I feel good about today and lleaving the county building on a good note. Today was a good day

The CCC regulates that and makes sure the PUBLIC HAS ACCESS. This is especially important when RICH PEOPLE own fancy houses along the beach, like in Malibu. Access to the beaches have been choked off by certain self-entitled land-owners but the Coastal Commission sicced their powerful attorneys on these wealthy scofflaws and got some paths reopened. I was just up in Dana Point and realized the CCC also managed to regain access down to the beach there past some condos that tried to restrict access. I also applaud the Coastal Commission for defending the right to lower-priced accommodations along Harbor Island. The greedy Port District & Sunroad is trying to build ANOTHER FANCY HOTEL there, when what's truly needed is some kind of accessible camping or State Park like business for regular people to enjoy the waterfront. Plus I also think that the Coastal Commission was wise to tell Seaworld that they can build their big tank for Shamu but they can't breed more killer whales in captivity. I called the CCC today to speak with their Enforcement Officer over some problems I am having and while the Coastal Commission does not have access to address the problems I need help with, they directed me to which agency might offer assistance. For that and all their other great work, I gave the San Diego District Office of the San Diego Coastal Commission the very valuable designation of 5 YELP STARS!
