    In the most recent edition of VOSD Radio, Will Carless and Scott Lewis examine the latest in #filnereverywhere:

    • Mayor Bob Filner’s decision to grant permission to a street vendor to sell his products without a permit; and

    • Filner’s interest in buying land in Mission Beach from the San Diego Unified School District (the land went to another buyer).

    They also recap:

    • how the city’s new permanent homeless shelter has been slow to ramp up after its celebratory opening;

    • the abundance of studies in City Heights (at least 27 since 1998); and

    • a Washington Post columnist’s “False” Fact Check rating about a claim regarding the border.

    Plus, find out why VOSD Radio named Realtidbits’ Kelly Abbott as Hero of the Week, and City Council District 4 candidate Myrtle Cole and her campaign consultant Larry Remer as the two-headed Goat of the Week. Listen here.
