San Diego, CA. - By a vote of 6-3, the San Diego City Council passed a regulation plan for short-term vacation rentals, an issue that had vexed city leaders for at least 11 years.

The endorsed plan was put forward by Council President Pro Tem Barbara Bry and councilmember Lorie Zapf. It's a primary-residence only solution to what had become a controversial practice of short-term rentals within city limits. Under their plan, primary residents may use their residence for a limited time so it retains its residential use.

We are having a big argument within the country -- about culture and norms. But mostly about power.

I’m intimately familiar with power struggles, changing cultures and norms. I grew up between two worlds and two families. My weekday family with my step-father was a “his way or else” culture -- he had the power. My weekend family had boundaries to provide structure, and supported creativity--we played Monopoly by different rules so no one would lose. I had two families, two sets of norms and two cultures.

Democrats and Republicans are like Pepsi and Coke. They are slightly different flavors of the same thing– a carbonated cola beverage.

Just like Pepsi and Coke, Democrats and Republicans are so similar that they have to spend millions of dollars every year to convince you that they're actually different and to choose one over the other.
