Show Notes
Yesterday, San Diego City Council unexpectedly ousted Councilmember Jennifer Campbell as president and elected Councilmember Sean Elo-Rivera as her replacement. Plus, the city of San Diego is once again gauging whether the old Central Library could be repurposed as a homeless shelter. Also, fentanyl overdoses have more than quadrupled in San Diego County since 2018, highlighting the challenge public health officials face. And, the pandemic has been particularly hard on renters and a growing number of California cities are moving to ban landlords from using aggressive practices to push tenants out. Finally, at 67 years old, Godzilla is not ready to retire, if former San Diegan Chris Mowry has anything to say about it.
