Another reason is that as growth has strained the budget, po- lice per-capita has remained well below the city's target of two police- men for every 1,000 residents; and in a very real sen e patrolmen who might. otherwise protect residents of Southeast San Diego are now being siphoned off to the predominantly white, booming suburbs. It is this "suburban budgetary squeeze" which has also put financial strain on public facilities in all of San Diego's urbanized areas - from schools and parks to libraries and jails. Because developer fees and taxes on newcomers don't fully pay for growth, the city has had to "rob" the existing communities to pay for development in the new urbanizing suburban communities, and the re- sult is decay in the 1nner eity. (This is particularly true for schools, since the 'compassionate" Building Indus- try Association successfully and un- conscionably lobbied the Legislature to cap developer fees for schools.) With regard to the . econd ques- tion it would be foolish to claim that gro~th controls will solve the special problems of the black community. Nonetheless, it can be honestly ar- gued that growth controls such as embodied in the November ballot's Quality of Life Initiative are unlikely to economically harm the poor while in certam areas such as affordable housing, urban redevelopment, and mass transit. controls may provide real benefits. Growth controls won't harm blacks economically because, even

The Quality of Life Initiative will improve housing opportunities be- cause it gives top priority to afford- able housing. By curtailing the sub- urban building boom, the initiative will also move development re- sources back into the inner city, while the initiatives's tough traffic- congestion standard will force the city to dramatically improve its mass transit system. Finally, while developers claim that the black community cares more about jobs and housing than cnme, school quality, traffic conges- tion, and air pollution, growth con- trols will provide San Diegans of all colors with a healthier and saner en- vironment to work and live. It follows that the black communi- ty should not allow itself to be cyni- cally used by the building industry in its battle against growth controls, particularly when such controls are much more likely to help rather Ulan hurt blacks. Instead, black leaders should chan- nel their political muscle into mobil- izing support for programs that will solve black problems: Increased job training, higher-quality schools, more police protection, linkage fees on commercial and industrial devel- opment to raise revenues for afford- able housing, drug counseling, AIDS and sex education, improved mass transit, and day care. To meet housing needs without in- creasing crime, black leaders should also push for an end to "density bonuses" and instead insist on inclu- sionary zoning and housing quotas. As history has shown, to rely on the building industry either for jobs or housing is to rely on the slimmest of trickles. curity, the 1Ddigent sick, and it will play havoc in the ethnic communi- ties. I agree: Let us have the truth and not the deceit of the false prophets who promise what they never can de- liver. SAMALEWITZ San Diego I live in Serra Mesa above the sta- dium. Mission Valley is one big explosion of development that will make our quiet neighborhood part of a high- density commercial and residential center. And we can do nothing to stop it. All of the specific plans for Mis- sion Valley were already approved. And now ail we can do is watch as the hillsides are cut and destroyed and the river valley is developed and more congestion is allowed. It is too late for us. But it isn't too la~e to help others who would like to protect what might be left of San Diego's hillsides, open space and wetlands. The Quali- ty of Life Initiative would, at least, be a start to doing this. So, vote for Proposition J, the Quality of Life Ini- tiative, and do what you can to save San Diego.

growth controls as a threat to t_he economic welfare of the poor, partic- ularly low-income blacks in South• east San Diego. This cynical attempt to exploit the blac community rai · es two important questions: Has growth really helped blacks and will growth controls really hurt blacks? The answer to the first question 1s that unbridled growth has done noth- ing to address either chronic black structural unemployment or the dearth of affordable housing, while growth has severely exacerbated problems uch as crime and _drug abuse and overcrowding at public fa. cilihes such as parks, libraries, and particularly schools. In the job market, a highly dispro- portionate number of growth-gener- ated jobs go not to black residents, but rather to predominantly white newcomers. This occurs because of continued separate and unequal edu- cational opportunities for blacks, be- cause racial barriers still exist in the labor market and the labor unions. and because many blacks can't reach new suburban jobs because of woe- fully inadequate mass transit (_eg.• service on the North-South comdor serving Southeast San Diego). In the housing market, the building industry added a record 15,435 new residential units to the city in 1987, but only a paltry 268 were low-in- come umts. This is a disgraceful 6 percent of annual need, and glaring evidence of the building industry's commitment to profits rather than the poor. Indeed, developers typically only build low-mcome housing under so- called increased "density-bonus" programs; but the resultant over- crowded projects such as those lining 50th street in Southeast San Diego have only become breeding grounds for all sorts of crime and drug abuse. These "density-bonus" projects are one reason why Southeast San Diego is burdened with the highest crime I've noticed that a byproduct of the local debate over development is a new growth industry of "non-parti- san" political-advocacy groups . Every smart public-relations firm in San Diego is racmg to set up new lobbying organizations to take ad- vantage of the panicked building in- dustry. Every day it seems that an- other new group crops up decrying the potential impacts of various initi- atives. All of them, pro or con, claim to be "grass roots," objective, third-party organizations. Many are taking money from builders and bankers. As has been said about other local proj- ects, the sharks are in a feeding fren- zy. The local development industry may be hurt more by the costs of feeding all these hustlers than they would be by passage of the growth- management initiatives. Voters should remain aware of two things as the debate rages on. Nobody is really neutral on these is- sues, and a lot of what is being said by groups claiming to be is done so for money. I urge voters to evaluate each of these advocacy groups by bow long they have been around, the vested interests of their members and their funding sources before ac- cepting their claims at face value.

'knows that Americas leadership m the world depends on a strong economy, a stron., nuclear deterrent and strong conventional forces.

If an event billed la t mght as a foreign policy debate between stand- ins for George Bush and Michael Du- kakis was an indication of the candi- dates' campaigns, Bush will continue to stress the importance of mainta1D ing current pohc1es while Dukak1s will argue for the United tales to adapt its leadership to a changing mternational scene. The event. pon ored by the World Affairs Council of San Diego, brought together Herbert Klein, vice presi- d nt and editor-in-chief of Copley ewspapers, presenting Bu h's Re- publican philosophy, and Byron Georgiou, a San Diego lawyer and member of the Democratic ational Committee, articulating Dukakis' ap- proach. Klein said he did not want to de- fine Bush's policies or debate how they differed from Dukakis' posi- tions. He said most of the audience already was aware of those issues and would see them presented in the upcommg face-offs between the can- didates. So he and Georgiou. who said he had come prepared to debate his counterpart, each ended up giving pitches for his man and taking ques- tion from the audience at the Uni- vers1t or S&L.Diego's University Center. Klem stressed Bush's experience as bead of the Central Intelligence Agency, as ambassador to China and as vice president. He said Bush could begin his presidency w1 h a "running
