\\nPoway Road Canyonization
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nPowegians are freaking out about all the development along Poway Rd. The 4-story Fairfield development is going in at the site of the former Poway Bowl and thrift stores. A recent letter to the editor said it was the \\u201ccanyonization\\u201d of Poway Rd with tall buildings on either side.

\\nNorth Park Micro Units
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nAn apartment building in North Park has an innovative approach to helping solve the San Diego Housing Crisis. Their micro units of approx. 600-800 sq ft offer an upgraded, minimalist living environment. The complex has very few parking spaces. They hope residents will use mass transit, bikes, or walking.

\\n
\\n
\\nSan Diego Vacant Homes
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nAre evil rich people squatting on vacant homes and keeping them off the market? Well, there are 16 million vacant homes in America and only 500,000 homeless. That makes sense in the Rust Belt, but not in San Diego. Less than 1% of housing units are vacant for more than 6 months a year. Even if they were fully occupied it would barely put a dent in the housing crisis.

\\nPt Loma Gay Marriage
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nA pastor at Point Loma Nazarene University was fired from his post for disagreeing with church doctrine on gay marriage. Wait\\u2026  didn\\u2019t Christ preach about loving thy neighbor? Why is the church so slow to evolve?

\\nBen Kalasho, former El Cajon Councilman, wanted for arrest
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nFormer El Cajon City Councilman, Ben Kalasho, is wanted by the police. He and his wife were busted for contempt of court and failed to show up for his 8-day jail sentence. This is a guy that used fake social media profiles to disparage local residents and business\\u2026  while he was on city council. He also runs the Miss Middle East USA Pageant and reportedly failed to pay the winner the prize money\\u2026.  And, get this, offered another contestant a rigged win if she slept with him.'
