Why Can't San Diegans Have Nice Things? 

On the latest show, our podcasts hosts discuss the topic of broken promises.

First up: A temporary fire station in San Diego is still temporary 11 years after elected officials promised to deliver a permanent fire station in Skyline.

Next: School district officials promised to fix the plumbing at a local school, but three different campaigns for tax increases later and it’s still not fixed.

Also on the show: Last week when we recorded, U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell was the frontrunner in the governor’s race. But after bombshell sexual assault allegations surfaced, he’s dropped out of the race and left Congress. The canceling happened at warp speed. We give our uninformed thoughts on the governor’s race.

So Not Transparent

When your neighbors don't like nudity, head to a nudist colony!

On today's episode, Andrea, Bella, and Jakob talked about a lot of different topics today and even got to mention yellow thong bikini bottoms.

In the first season of HBO's TV show Neighbors, episode six features a local man who believes he is being wronged by his neighbors and others around San Diego. Why? He likes to work out in the front yard of his property which has neighbors concerned.

San Diego Unified teachers approved a tentative agreement that grants them five percent raises over the next two years and other perks, but our Jakob McWhinney has been following some of the drama behind the deal.

Also on the show: MacKenzie Elmer joined us to discuss her story on why humans may be to blame for the orphaning of two bear cubs in Monrovia, California. 

After three years of reporting...and waiting...we have one more quick Petco Park concession scandal update after the attorney general of California sued the ringleaders of the scheme to try to recover the money.
