Well said ATC. Like I mentioned, it will be interesting to see if any rental properties that City…Read More Council members, or others who work for the City, seem to always fall into the self inspect category. Unless the City posts an open listing of all rental properties and their status, those things always fly under the radar. The City must be in that "innovative" cash flow mode. They need cash, and viola! Things just pop up.

Looks to me like a nice easy way for the city to squeeze even more money out of property owners, for…Read More a problem that doesn't actually exist. There will indeed be a cost for these inspections (look at the last sentence of the agenda item). If there was a history of ongoing issues related to the quality of rental units, that might be another story, but nowhere in the agenda item is that claim made. So they are in effect creating a solution to a non-existent problem, and billing for that solution. What, the city isn't making enough money off of Mello Roos?

Its not such a bad idea to make sure rental housing is safe. Renting out some of the brand new homes…Read More is not a problem, but the older homes rented to many tenants should have a legal CO. However, one wonders if there is a cost for these inspections, who will cover it, and if those in City government will be favored with the self-inspect clause for rental property they own. It always happens.

And now it's back!?!? Wow, this "great new format" is really impressive, eh? And of…Read More course the one thing that many have wanted, many have asked for, the one thing that would have been easy to add; the ability for a person to edit their post, is still nowhere to be found. We must delete the entire post and rewrite it if we make a typo. Yeah, that's logical. Patch Powers that be: Please listen to your readership. Bring back the ability to comment on specific comments (not just at the end), bring back the "latest comments" section on the front page (so readers can see what's hot/active at a glance), and for crying out loud, add the ability to edit our posts (it's not really rocket science here, people). Those three things would likely eliminate 90% of the complaints about this new format. Of course, I'm not about to hold my breath. I don't think they really care, nor really listen.

Seems the "censorship" is a bit more zealous with this new format, eh? Oh well, I predict a major decrease in the local voices that made the Patch one of the "go to" sites for local information, commentary, and debate. Sad, really, as I learned a significant amount of info about my community here in the past. No more, obviously.

Renee - I agree 100% with Lloyd on this and you will find all the posters who used to make the Patch…Read More an interesting read are going elsewhere. I know you are stuck with what they give you, but you need to stop defending this change and address it's failure. Holding our comments does no good - giving them to the people you deal with AFTER the site becomes set in stone will not work. Even the news stories don't rotate fast enough - the same things are on the page that were there after the changeover. I won't be using the new features - they are not nearly as user-friendly as you try to portray and new responses to blogs and new comments are hidden. If they even show up - many of my comments on this new format have posted and then disappeared. Not a good move and it has hurt your paper. Jeremiah

Hi James, Actually all the Patch sites are switching over to this format, as the west coast was…Read More just the latest roll-out. They tested this model on the east coast, and most of the sites do have our "2.0" format now. However, they do encourage us to forward on user feedback about features you guys like— and don't like. I am saving all these comments to pass on to our teams. I appreciate your thoughts and I hope you will come to take advantage of some of the new features (as you already have with this board posting.) Patch is all about getting the community involved, and that's why there are now more ways for people to post, and why the blogs are now in the main column.

Lloyd White May 19, 2013 at 05:31 pm

James, I couldn't agree more. My posts on the old format generated many more comments than with the…Read More new format. Sometimes my posts wouldn't make it to the front page and no one saw them until I asked the editor to move them to the blog column. Now they get lost in the news column and they drop off faster. Newcomers to the patch won't know whose blogs to go and check out. I hope the patch will find away to return the focus to the blogs, you are right there is no difference from the newspaper sites now.

100% agree with that! Plus I liked the way that in the old one you could reply to an individual…Read More comment. This one only lets you post at the end of the thread. Pretty sure she has started using the Facebook comments program, which by itself will keep me from posting. If the old one doesn't come back I will most likely be saying sayonara. I pretty much like everything else, but this was the real draw of the Patch and it's strong point - especially during the fire. Advertisement pane is about 10% too large as well and should be on the other side of the page to look right. Renee is trying though, which is appreciated. I just hope she listens about the comments section. Jeremiah
