Talk:San Diego

message: The bicycling paragraph of the transportation section needs an update, problem sentences:
"San Diego's roadway system provides an extensive network of routes for travel by bicycle"
Bicyclists are able to use roadways in a large majority of states and all U.S. cities have extensive road networks (covering all of there developed area), this statement should be removed as it does not describe the unique characteristics of san diego cycling infrastructure.  
"Testament to San Diego's cycling efforts, in 2006, San Diego was rated as the best city for cycling for U.S. cities with a population over 1 million.[211]"
this is a very out of date reference, multiple more recent sources rank San diego average or below average in bicycle infrastructure, number of bicyclists and fatalities.

https://www.walkscore.com/CA/San_Diego
" Older and denser neighborhoods around the downtown tend to be friendlier to utility cycling. This is partly because of the grid street patterns now absent in newer developments farther from the urban core, where suburban style arterial roads are much more common"
Several older more urban communities have blocked the development of bicycle infrastructure

http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2015/sep/23/coronado-bike-lanes/
I propose the entire paragraph be replaced with:
The dry and mild climate of San Diego makes cycling a convenient and pleasant year-round option.   The city has some segregated cycle facilities, particularly in newer developments, however the majority of road facilities specifically for bicycles are painted on regular roadways.  The city's hilly, canyoned terrain and long average trip distances—brought about by strict low-density zoning laws—somewhat restrict cycling for utilitarian purposes.  In 2014 .9% of commuters traveled by bicycle, below the average 1% for large U.S. cities.  Also in 2014, San Diego experienced 6.8 bicyclist fatalities per 10,000 cyclist commuters, the average for all large cities was 4.7.https://www.bikewalkalliance.org/storage/documents/reports/2014BenchmarkingReport.pdf    — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.172.73.102 (talk) 21:39, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

message: The median age was 32; two-thirds of the population was under 35.
Unless 1/6 of the population is between the ages of 32 and 34, which is very unlikely, this is incorrect.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.38.190.9 (talk) 22:02, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

message: Water is supplied by the Public Utilities Department of the City of San Diego. Almost all of the drinking water comes from the three water treatment plants that the city owns and operates. The treatment plants can produce up to 298 million gallons of drinking water per day all fed by local reservoir lakes.
Gas and electric utilities are provided by San Diego Gas & Electric, a division of Sempra Energy.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.29.64.65 (talk) 19:55, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

message: Please add to the Pre-Colonial History section: The Kumeyaay people were horticulturists, hunters, and gatherers, and inhabited the land for 10,000 years before settlers arrived in 1592. Now, the tribe is divided into 12 bands: Barona, Campo, Ewiiaapaayp, Inaja-Cosmit, Jamul, LaPosta, Manzanita, Mesa Grande, San Pasqual, Santa Ysabel, Sycuan and Viejas. The Kumeyaay now have 70,000 acres of land in East County, but more than 15,000 acres is unusable because of the removal of the El Capitan reservoir from Indian Government ownership.
