Too Much Water
Water is about to get more expensive, but not for the reasons you might think. The region is water-rich following a record-setting rainy winter, but San Diegans still have to pay off decades-old investments provoked by drought times. That could mean big changes on your water bill starting next year. Also on the show this week: Jakob's got an update on the sexual misconduct case against a former associate principal at Hoover High School, Scott talks state tax initiatives with local implications and Bella shares field notes from a visit to the Spring Valley shelter site that just got nixed after pushback from its neighbors.

best sd podcast
GreatA
Very great pod
So great to hear insights! The Qanon episode helped so much to try to get at least a small understanding of what this group is about.
Overall great but poor October 1
I’ve learned so much listening to this podcast over the past 2 years but I was frustrated listening to the October 1st podcast because, after 15 minutes spent poking fun at the “return of the Mack” parody issued by Mayor Gloria, I learned nothing about why it’s done, who pays, is there any benefit to the city or a charity or is it just a silly tradition? Please remember to explain all of the details next time! Thank you!
