SD101: Who Polices the Police
October 19, 2021 11:00 - 25 minutes - 23 MBEpisode 2 of VOSD's new series Warning: This episode mentions suicide and contains graphic descriptions of killings by police officers.

Another City Real Estate Deal Doesn't Measure Up
October 15, 2021 19:48 - 45 minutes - 42.1 MBFour years ago, former mayor Kevin Faulconer signed a lease for the city to take over a warehouse in Kearny Mesa where crews could repair fire trucks. No fire trucks have been repaired there ever. And now, the city wants to spend $15 million to rebuild the facility it may never own. This week, we discuss all we know that's gone wrong so far. Plus: Redistricting drama is heating up. One commissioner resigned abruptly this week as the once-a-decade process to draw political maps is upon us. ...
It's a Raid
October 08, 2021 19:52 - 51 minutes - 46.9 MBThere was a major development this week in one of the most dramatic stories VOSD has followed the last couple years.

Homelessness in San Diego Is Like a Rubik’s Cube
October 01, 2021 21:53 - 34 minutes - 32 MBThis week, VOSD's Adriana Heldiz saw a large-scale operation by the city of San Diego to clean a homeless camp that had been growing for months in the Midway District; it recently grew so large it was spilling into the street, according to the city. Staff loaded tents and tons of belongings into a trash truck to try and sort out the area. Officers offered shelter to the people living there and cited those who rejected the offers. It put a spotlight on a lot of the issues at play for one of...
The Water (Rate) Is Rising
September 24, 2021 19:12 - 39 minutes - 36.3 MBIt's expensive to live in San Diego. You know this already. But it's about to get worse. As housing prices balloon, another basic need is getting costly: water.

Scott and Andy review everything you need to know about San Diego water and these rate hikes. And in the second half of the show, the latest San Diego Housing Commission drama and why it matters...
The 101 Ash St. Dumpster Fire Just Got Hotter
September 17, 2021 21:11 - 43 minutes - 40.1 MBBuckle up, folks. There's another major revelation in the 101 Ash St. saga this week. (That segment starts around minute 30 in the episode if you're antsy.) It turns out the city's real estate adviser, Jason Hughes, got paid about $9.5 million dollars (as a volunteer) for the deals he facilitated. The scoop this week by VOSD's Lisa Halverstadt was that Hughes made an agreement with Cisterra Development (the city's eventual landlord) to earn a profit off the deals or be held financially acco...

September 16, 2021 11:00 - 47 minutes - 43.8 MBShane Crotty and his team at the La Jolla Institute of Immunology have been studying viruses for a long time. We wanted to talk to him again. He first joined our podcast in March when vaccines were first becoming available and we knew a lot less. Now, after a few months and a few major variants of the virus, we have new questions. Like, why is Delta so much worse? Is it OK to go to concerts and ball games? What’s the deal with booster shots? Crotty and host Scott Lewis get into it. The pos...

The Mayor's List of San Diego Specials
August 27, 2021 10:50 - 55 minutes - 50.4 MBA couple years ago, then-Assemblyman Todd Gloria wrote an op-ed for VOSD. In it, he coined the term "San Diego Special." We immediately became obsessed. Its definition is rough but essentially aims to label a persistent problem in local government that should be solvable but has stuck around due to lack of vision or leadership. Think vacation rentals, the Convention Center expansion or scooters. Now, as mayor, Gloria joins the podcast to discuss these very regionally-specific obstacles. He...

The Sheriff Department's Crazy Week
August 13, 2021 19:34 - 38 minutes - 34.9 MBIt has been quite a week for the San Diego County sheriff. Sheriff Bill Gore and his team are getting backlash from across the country after they shared a video of a deputy they claimed overdosed from fentanyl simply by encountering it. The thing is, toxicologists say that’s impossible. That's not the only reason the agency is experiencing blowback. The sheriff told San Diego police last month they could resume booking people accused of misdemeanors into local jails, but they wouldn’t tel...
COVID Cases — and Mandates — Are Climbing
August 06, 2021 20:51 - 43 minutes - 39.9 MBNot long ago, we were all obsessing over the state-mandated tier system. If were were still in the days of tiers, San Diego would be in the most restrictive purple tier, which mainly allowed only outdoor activities. Oh, how far we've come. And also kind of not. This week, we discuss the state of COVID in the region, our case for county data and new mandates for vaccines. Plus: San Diego Housing Commission Cliffs Notes and a ballot measure for parks and libraries. Follow all our stories a...
A Better Way to View Test Scores
July 30, 2021 19:35 - 39 minutes - 36.4 MBStandardized testing has long been derided as an imperfect way to measure a school’s performance.

It takes into account poverty levels, a crucial factor that heavily influences a school’s test scores. Plus: Climate change, local vaccination requirements and city real estate problems can't stop, won't stop. Find Wi...
Bad Infrastructure Is Killing Cyclists

We'll discuss what's really going on with those structures that happen to have a wonderful name in local political circles. Plus, a sudden local political resignation fits into a larger trend. From various local school boards, the failed effort to recall San Diego City Council President Jen Campbell and even the recall election of Gov.

Everything We Know About 101 Ash Street
July 01, 2021 00:09 - 54 minutes - 50.1 MBThis week, we explain the 101 Ash Street saga from the beginning and why it matters. ***** In January, VOSD’s Lisa Halverstadt wrote a long piece on the role Jason Hughes, a commercial real estate broker, had in the mess the city has faced related to 101 Ash St., the building it was never able to move employees into. Hughes had been an unpaid volunteer advising mayors going back to Bob Filner and helping the city renegotiate leases. But he also helped the city lease two large towers, 101 ...
Bonus: Housing Is Everything for California's Big Cities
June 28, 2021 22:38 - 38 minutes - 35 MBHousing dominates California politics. It will shape big cities like San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco this year and in the future.

Host Andy Keatts interviewed Stephens at an event put on by the San Diego-Tijuana Urban Land Institute. The folks at ULI were kind enough ...
The Homelessness Crisis Is Still a Crisis
June 25, 2021 18:14 - 41 minutes - 37.8 MBHomelessness in San Diego is officially “near crisis level.” We’ve been calling it a "crisis" for a while now, but new reporting lays out how big the problem really is — and how much money local leaders are ready to throw at it.

Every elected government agency is redrawing the lines for voters, which will have big impacts for upcoming local races. Speaking of upcoming races, how will the effort to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom ult...

Fraud, Facial Recognition and Bears, Oh My!
May 07, 2021 21:14 - 45 minutes - 41.6 MBThe recall election truly earned the criticism this week that the effort is a circus.
