Show Notes

The Supreme Court heard arguments in two cases challenging race-conscious admissions policies at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina Monday. A decision from the conservative-majority court could have far-reaching implications. Then, San Diego’s Measure H would open parks and rec facilities on city land to childcare businesses. But the measure includes a confusing word choice. Next, California recently updated its building code to allow high rises made almost entirely out of wood. But not just any wood: An emerging type of wood product called mass timber. And, even if evidence for any election fraud is scant or nonexistent, worries are especially high in one Northern California County. Then, the school bond measure on the San Diego city ballot this year would use some of the money raised to build housing for teachers on land it already owns. Finally, San Diego Opera's “The Last Dream of Frida and Diego” has three more performances through Sunday. The Spanish-language opera is inspired by the life and art of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera.
