The Backstory: U-T reporters take an in-depth look at the sale of Tailgate Park

Union-Tribune growth and development reporter Jennifer Van Grove, lead Watchdog reporter Jeff McDonald, managing editor Lora Cicalo, and editor and publisher Jeff Light discuss the sale of Tailgate Park by the City of San Diego to a development team led by the San Diego Padres. The decision by City Council members to sell the city-owned lot a block away from Petco Park for $35.1 million is provoking a debate over what kinds of developments San Diego should prioritize and how the city can best deploy public assets to confront persistent crises in housing and homelessness.
