Homelessness is up 3 percent across San Diego County and the overall number has reached a new high. That’s according the the results of the annual homeless census also known at the point-in-time count.
This week on the podcast, hosts Scott Lewis, Andrea Lopez-Villafaña, Jakob McWhinney and Bella Ross get into the data. Regional leaders were surprisingly upbeat about the new numbers and our crew explains why.
McWhinney also explains what we know about a probe into San Diego Unified’s superintendent. And Lewis has an update on the search for the county’s next chief administrative officer.
Plus, a shopaholic’s dream or worst nightmare? You could soon live in Fashion Valley. The mall’s owners have a plan to replace JCPenney with hundreds of luxury apartments.
The crew gets into the pros and cons of “mini cities.”
