Mission Hills resident ordered to start work furlough program after striking, killing pedestrian William John Christian was reportedly gambling all night at Barona Casino and was driving to his home when he struck a pedestrian.

“Not near the coast.”

“We do need more housing but…”

“I support housing but…”

“I’m not a NIMBY.” -Nimby’s favorite line
