Local KUSI personality Michael Turko followed up on that house we’ve been telling you about, the $800,000 home in Encinitas that nobody can live in until there’s an affordable unit built next door. I
n the segment he chatted with Mick Pattinson, former head of the builder behind the subdivision, whose anti-bank perspective we heard here a few weeks ago.
