ОБ ЭТОМ ЭПИЗОДЕ
New reporting from Voice of San Diego has revealed that a developer is exploring plans to build a large-scale data center in San Diego.
We talk about how city leaders and community members are responding, and break down Mayor Todd Gloria's executive order to establish a temporary moratorium on new data centers in the city.
Then, an investigation from inewsource finds that San Diego's Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport is the highest lead-polluting general aviation airport in the United States, according to federal data.
We discuss why the process to transition away from leaded fuel has seen many delays, despite community members calling for action.
Plus, a new day center has opened in downtown San Diego, after the Neil Good Day Center was closed last month due to city budget cuts. We talk about the value of day centers and how they fit into San Diego's overall efforts to address homelessness.
