San Diego Suing To Void Deals On 101 Ash Building, Civic Center Plaza

The city of San Diego announced Tuesday that it is suing to void its lease-to-own agreements in the 101 Ash Street and Civic Center Plaza building deals due to an advisor allegedly receiving millions in undisclosed compensation for negotiating the transactions in violation of state law. And, the new state budget removes the asset rule that restricted Medi-Cal eligibility for older and disabled Californians. Plus, a Carlsbad community member is stepping up to run and fund a shelter in a motel for people experiencing homelessness. Then, a new city parks proposal to revitalize the city's overlooked parks also will incentivize developers to build more affordable housing in the process. Finally, in the season finale of KPBS podcast the Parker Edison Project, host Parker Edison explores how family legacy contributes to culture.
