Grandstand Folly
So someone agreed to spend $80 million for a spiffy new grandstand at the Del Mar Race Track.
That money could have funded San Diego’s six runaway and homeless youth shelters for 40 years.
So rejoice in your winnings over this fine 43-day race season. Remember that joy when a troubled kid swipes your BMW.
