Independent living facility shut down in College Area

On June 15, San Diego City Attorney Mara W. Elliott an-nounced that a squalid inde-pendent living facility (ILF) in the College Area was ordered closed by the Superior Court. The facility was notorious for its numerous Health and Safety Code violations and its frequent calls for police service for dis-turbing the peace and other concerns.

Under the court’s injunction, the owners, manager, and operator are prohibited from operating or maintaining an unlicensed Community Care Facility or Residential Care Facility for the elderly any-where in the County of San Diego.

Scott Borden is a future astro-naut who has been training since 2008 to be one of the first civilians to experience space flight aboard a Virgin Galactic vehicle.

“I’ve been in training for 12 years now and I’m ready to go anytime,” he said.

Although Borden has yet to take that pioneering flight, he has already made a mark on the future of space and aeronautics with the Galactic Unite Borden Scholarship at San Diego State University.

“Galactic Unite is literal-ly a brainchild of our Future Astronaut community,” said

On March 3, voters in California’s 53rd congressional

district made Sara Jacobs the frontrunner with 29.2% of the vote in what was a crowded field of 15 candidates. Jacobs, grand-daughter of Qualcomm founder Irwin Jacobs, credits her success to reaching out to the district’s constituents.

everyone, work with people from all backgrounds and really make progress.”

Now that the race is down to a contest between Jacobs and City Council president Georgette Gomez — both Democrats with similar policy positions — Jacobs wants voters to focus on her ex-perience working in politics at the federal level as reason to cast bal-lots for her in November.

“[Voters need] someone who has experience making and im-plementing policy at the federal level who understands all the levers of power that the federal

government has to really offer San Diego — someone who is not going to take time to get their sea legs, but hit the ground running on day one and make sure San Diegans gets the representation they need as these incredibly important decisions are being made.”

AN EARLY PATH TO PUBLIC SERVICE

Jacobs proudly says she is a third generation San Diegan, born and raised. When talking about her famous family, she focuses more on their early struggles than on their financial successes.

“When my great grandparents first moved to San Diego, they lived in College Area and that was

one of the few areas that Jewish families had been allowed to live. Obviously a lot has changed in San Diego and in my family since then,” she said. “I was always taught about how much San Diego has given us and that it was my responsibility to do everything I could to give back and make sure that every kid in San Diego has the kind of opportunities that I was able to have.”

Unlike many other children raised in families with extreme wealth, Jacobs attended public schools growing up.

“My parents felt very strongly that they wanted us to be in public schools and getting an education that was more than just academ-ics — that we interacted and got

to have friends from all different walks of life and that was some-thing that they felt very strongly about,” she said.

When Jacobs entered Torrey Pines High School, she expected that she would follow in both of her her grandfathers’ footsteps and become an electrical engi-neer. During her high school years, Jacobs was involved in community service, such as lead-ing the youth group at her syn-ogauge and volunteering for San Diego Youth Services to serve the homeless. In her junior year, she took part in a program bringing Israeli Jewish teens together with Israeli Arab teens that inspired her to want to work with people over working in a lab.

With that as inspiration, Jacobs studied Political Science with a focus on international issues at Columbia University.

“There are some problems where there’s a solution but we just don’t have political will to do it, and there are some problems that even if we had the political will, we wouldn’t know what to do,” she said. “And those are the kinds of problems I got really interested in in college. I spent a lot of time studying some of the smaller conflicts around the world that weren’t getting much political attention and studying peace-building interventions and peace-keeping approaches.”

Jacobs earned her Master’s in International Affairs from Columbia and then took “a little

bit of time off to celebrate” be-fore going to work at the United Nations in the Department of Peackeeping Operations, helping write policy based on research she did in grad school.

After her stint at the UN, she went to work for UNICEF’s inno-vation unit, then went to work in the State Department’s Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations during the Obama administration, where she was tasked with helping the State Department better solve conflicts.

In 2015, Jacobs went to work on the Hillary Clinton presiden-tial campaign, helping the former Secretary of State draft foreign policy. For Jacobs, the Clinton campaign’s loss in 2016 still stings.

“I’m pretty much frustrated and angry every single day be-cause I know exactly what Hillary Clinton and our team would have been doing to prevent us from get-ting to the position we’re in with coronavirus,” she said. “I wrote the pandemic prevention plan and actually was working with members of Congress on setting up new funding streams for pre-venting and rapidly responding to pandemic threats.”

A FIRST RUN FOR OFFICEAlthough Jacobs’ job for the

Clinton campaign was more pol-icy wonk than campaign strate-gist, she said she did learn some

lessons about running for office from her time working for Team Hillary.

“I will say the thing I learned the most is that you have to find a way to let yourself be as vul-nerable and authentic as possi-ble, even when it’s really hard. I think the generation of women who ran for office before us had to be so perfect because they were held to such a standard,” she said. “When I first started running for office, I actually wrote down all the mean things I though could be said about me and I made my friends read them to me over and over again to desensitize myself to it. Forcing yourself to just con-tinue to be as open as possible even as difficult things are being said about you, I think is very im-portant and something I learned during 2016.”

Those lessons were put to the test in Jacobs’ first run for con-gress — a 2018 bid to unseat Rep. Daryll Issa in California’s 49th.

Jacobs said she never thought she would run for office, but cir-cumstances changed in 2017 while running a nonprofit organi-zation after the Clinton campaign ended.

“I was spending a lot of time overseas and it was kind of the perfect thing to be doing [then] be-cause I was doing really tangible good work around the world and

it had nothing to do with Donald Trump,” she said. “But eventually I started feeling while the work I was doing was really important, everything I cared about was at risk here at home.”

Jacobs recalls returning from a work trip and landing at JFK the day the Muslim ban was announced and feeling disempowered.

Also during that time, the Trump administration’s stance toward the LGBT community was affecting her youngest sibling who is transgender and her middle sib-ling who is gender-nonconform-ing. That prompted Jacobs to want to do more.

“I looked at the races here at home and saw the 49th and reached out to Emily’s List and asked if they were going to get a woman to run because I would love to support her and help her run,” she said. “They eventually called me back and told me that if I wanted there to be a woman in the race I had to run, so I did — after much heartache. They say you need to ask a woman seven times to run and I think that was pretty true for me.”

Jacobs lost the primary, com-ing in third behind Republican Dianne Harkey and Democrat Mike Levin who would go on to win the seat.

“One of the things I’m proud of is we ran a totally positive cam-paign, even in the midst of a very difficult primary,” she said, adding that after losing she spent the rest

of the campaign season helping Mike Levin win, as well as lending support to other campaigns and other candidates at the local level.

After her run for the 49th, Jacobs started another nonprofit — San Diego For Every Child — because of what she learned while campaigning around the region.

“It became clear to me that here in San Diego County we have a huge issue with childhood pov-erty,” she said, adding that even pre-COVID, 40% of San Diego kids live in poverty.

Jacobs also joined the Kroc School of Peace at USD as a Scholar in Residence.

A SECOND RUNWhen Rep. Susan Davis an-

nounced she was retiring, Jacobs said there were two reasons she decided to throw her hat in the race. One, was that the 53rd was losing 20 years of government ex-perience with Davis leaving and that her previous work in federal and international organizations would help ease the transition.

The other reason was to bring a more youthful perspective to government.

“I think it’s really important that we have a new generation of leaders,” Jacobs said. “My gen-eration are the ones who are re-ally going to be dealing with the consequences of the decisions we are making right now and so we should have a seat at the table.”

During her primary campaign, Jacobs focused on issues included

addressing gun violence, acting with urgency to address climate change and the high cost of living in San Diego.

“Those are still incredibly im-portant, but I really believe that the next congress will entirely be focused on rebuilding and re-covering from the [COVID] crisis that we’re in right now,” she said, adding that the current legisla-tion passed so far only amount to “stabilizing bills” and that more stimulus is needed to regrow the economy.

Jacobs sees future legislation as a chance to make some systemic changes and shape the future for “what we want it to look like” — especially when it comes to deal-ing with issues of climate change and protecting workers.

“We have a real opportunity here I think to do things differ-ently,” she said. “Part of that is making sure that other priorities are imbued in any recovery and thinking about how we can make sure that we are prioritizing com-panies that have emissions targets in line with the Paris Agreement.

“Also, as we’re doing quan-titative easing or bailouts, [we should be] thinking about what the unemployed sector really looks like,” she continued. “A lot of folks are harkening back to the programs that came out of the Great Depression which are real-ly good models in some ways but I think we need to realize that the construction industry has become much more technical than it was

then and unlike then, the vast majority of people that are out of work right now are in the service sector.”

And despite the enormous cost of rebuilding the economy after the COVID crisis passes, Jacobs still favors support for large gov-ernment initiatives, including a Medicare for All plan.

“I not only believe that it will still be possible to do Medicare for All but actually it is more import-ant than ever,” she said. “We’re seeing 20-30% unemployment and people’s healthcare is di-rectly tied to their employment, which means we’re going to have a de facto public option when all of the people who lose their em-ployer-sponsored health care still need care in the middle of a pan-demic. And if that’s the case, we might as well do it in a strategic way.”

To deal with the costs of pro-grams, Jacobs favors repealing the GOP tax bill “that didn’t do anything to grow the economy,” raising taxes on very wealthy peo-ple and cutting tax loopholes.

“My generation will be the one that will have to deal with the consequences of this deficit down the road,” she said, adding that despite its costs, the government needs to use the current zero Fed rate to keep states afloat and pro-vide stimulus to jumpstart the economy.

Academic Excellence in the Time of Coronavirus

Branson to leverage the program for good. Since 2012, the program has reached hundreds of thou-sands of young people around the world through scholarships, men-toring, grants and “space chats education,” a virtual classroom for budding aerospace engineers. Borden started his SDSU scholar-ship program in late 2013.

“The opportunity to write a check and fund a scholarship to some unknown person some-where was certainly there, but I really thought it would be more effective to try and do something locally,” Borden said.

Borden looked around and found that SDSU had a small aero-space engineering program. He met with the department heads and “they were thrilled” because

they were underfunded. He also learned that SDSU students also had a volunteer program called The Rocket Project which was re-ally underfunded.

“In fact, they were working out of an old quonset hut, liter-ally with screwdrivers and ham-mers trying to make rockets so there was definitely room for im-provement with proper support,” Borden said.

In the first year of his Galactic Unite program at SDSU, Borden offered scholarships for five stu-dents and also provided funding for The Rocket Project.

“I asked the kids to send me a list of what they wanted and they sent me an Amazon wish list of like a hundred items on it and I started to order them and this was at a time when TSA was checking everything and I start-ed to realize that I was ordering what someone could look at as

materials to make a you know what,” Borden recalled. “So I stopped that process and said, ‘Kids why don’t you order what you need and I’ll just write you a check.’”

Today, The Rocket Project is now 10 times the size of that first year and the program has attract-ed more companies to donate equipment and provide financial support.

“Their capabilities of building rockets has expanded dramatical-ly,” Borden said.

The Rocket Project’s most re-cent launch in February was a success that sent a rocket dubbed The Lady Elizabeth up nearly four miles and it was also recovered be-cause of a successful deployment of its parachutes.

“One thing I’ll never forget was this group of students running after the rocket to go recover it a couple of miles away, I don’t think they realized how far it was – just the joy of that experience and watching them was really great,” Borden said.

Next year, the SDSU students will begin construction on a two-stage rocket with a goal of reach-ing space, a feat the group has never done before.

“I have nothing to do with that,” Borden said. “All I do is make the resources available to them and keep the program going and they take it from there. That is what has been inspiring to me to watch.”

Muric is less modest in her praise for Borden’s involvement.

“Scott really single-handedly brought this program to what it is today and really inspired others to join. He really motivated students and has been hands on – it’s a very rare thing to see. Most people just write checks,” she said. “And the kids love him. At this point, he’s one of them.”

For the last six years, Borden’s scholarship has financially bene-fited anywhere between five and 15 students with an average of about $1,500. This year, schol-arships were awarded to nine students. But, as Muric pointed out, all students in the aerospace engineering programs at SDSU benefit because the students in the scholarship program end up shar-ing the wealth of knowledge the Galactic Unite mentors provide

with their peers in The Rocket Project.

Another bonus for all SDSU stu-dents, not just scholarship recipi-ents, is location.

“The geographical advantage for San Diego State University is huge,” Borden said. “Most of the students that are in the Rocket Project have had the opportu-nity to walk the factory floor at Virgin Orbit up in Long Beach and also The Spaceship Company [in Mojave] and meet people that are actually doing the work and building spaceships and flying them.”

New exhibition program at SDSUSan Diego State University’s School

of Art and Design will launch a new exhibition program in summer 2020 which will include a revitalization of the school’s on-campus galleries, col-laborative and multidisciplinary art and design events, and a new partner-ship project with leading local galleries and museums.

The School of Art + Design has approximately 5,800 square feet of on-campus gallery space. In recent years, the school’s four galleries have been dedicated to showcasing student art while the SDSU Downtown Gallery has primarily exhibited the work of national and international contem-porary artists and designers. The new exhibition program will continue to dedicate significant gallery space for student-led exhibitions and projects and will also bring exhibitions of con-temporary artists and collectives to campus.

Due to budget constraints across the university, SDSU’s Downtown Gallery, the university’s off-campus exhibition venue for the past ten years, will close permanently on June 30. The school feels the significant loss of that space, but has turned the misfortune into an opportunity to revitalize campus pro-gramming and expand community connections.

“Contemporary art in the public realm leverages the unique capacity of creative practice to facilitate ex-pression, find common ground, build empathy, and bring communities to-gether, whether to celebrate, to prob-lem-solve, or to experience a perfor-mance or event,” said professor Annie Buckley, director of SDSU’s School of Art + Design and founding director of the Prison Arts Collective. “We are looking forward to having our on-cam-pus galleries serve as a hub for local,

national, and interna-tional exhibitions and, simultaneously, as sites for student-led and stu-dent-curated projects.”

In addition, the new exhibition program at the SDSU School of Art + Design will also include an inno-vative coalition called “Gather.” Gather is currently comprised of four partners:

• SDSU School of Art + Design• Museum of Contemporary Art

San Diego (MCASD)• Bread & Salt Gallery• Art ProduceGather partners will collaborate on

exhibitions on and off-campus, share audiences, and embark on projects including cross-curatorial platforms, panels on issues relevant to our local communities and beyond, and oppor-tunities for professional growth for students and emerging artists.

“I am so grateful to have the op-portunity to collaborate with these fantastic institutions in a partnership that we feel will be mutually benefi-cial to our organizations and com-munities, both on campus and off,” said Buckley. “It’s been fun in that it’s a true collaboration; our goals and projects are still forming organically each time we meet and we are excit-ed to share audiences and embark on new projects.”

Another one of the Gather partners, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD), is eager to share its re-sources and expertise with the School of Art + Design. Through curriculum collaboration with faculty, MCASD hopes to introduce students to the museum’s collection of thematic art

such as Latinx/Chicanx/Border art; Art and Activism; and art surround-ing Feminism and Gender issues.

Through MCASD’s involvement in Gather, Cristina Scorza, education curator at MCASD, looks forward to strengthening ties and establishing new connections within the com-munity. “Gather brings together four organizations, their resources, and expertise to imagine new collabo-rations and to expand the reach we have in our region, with the goals of supporting the artistic community of San Diego and Tijuana, of inspiring the new generation of cultural ad-ministrators, and of embracing new audiences,” Scorza said.

SDSU School of Art + Design also plans to continue its ongoing collab-orations with the Mingei Museum, the Athenaeum Music and Arts Library, and other local arts organizations.

SDSU’s School of Art + Design ed-ucates undergraduate and graduate students in the evolution, theory, and practice of art, design, and art history, preparing them to make vital contri-butions through these disciplines to their immediate communities and the global society.

SKDA wins Diocesan award

By KELLY BONDE

Since March 16, St. Katharine Drexel Academy (SKDA), along with all schools in the Diocese of San Diego, began imple-menting distance learn-ing, where all instruction has been moved to a vir-tual and digital platform. This move happened over-night, as all schools were informed of the closures on Friday, March 13. This de-cision helped to ensure the safety and health of our students and families as we navigate the COVID-19 pandemic.

We are extremely proud of how we have served our families during this stress-ful time and are excited to share that SKDA recently received the Re-Imagine Catholic School Award by the Diocese of San Diego at the annual Catholic Educators Banquet! This award is a huge honor for our school and a tangible reminder of the good work we are doing to create an innovative, faith-based school for our families.

T h e R e - I m a g i n e Catholic School Award acknowledges a school that recognizes the needs and interests of the 21st century student, and one that makes innovative decisions that are based

on research to estab-lish sound rationale and foundation for new and creative programming or strategies. Schools are nominated for the award by their community mem-bers. Lastly, this award specifically focuses on the uniqueness of the school’s program to empower learners, increase student interest and drive achieve-ment. We are so excit-ed and honored to have SKDA be chosen among all schools in the Diocese for this prestigious award.

While there still remains uncertainty as to what next school year will look like, one thing is certain: SKDA will be in session and serving our families. We are proud to offer an education that emphasizes faith, curiosity, leadership, growth and collaboration. Our small school setting allows us to individualize our educational approach and make each student feel seen, heard and respected.

Contact SKDA if you would like to schedule a one-on-one Zoom meet-ing, a socially distanced tour or would like an emailed application. Visit skda-sd.org.

Something worth celebrating

Next month the College Area will have a milestone moment. If the schedule holds, the Harriet Tubman Village Joint-Use Park will open in July.

First proposed in the 1970s, with community pressure, it was approved as a candidate for the joint-use park program be-tween the city and the San Diego Unified School District. After ap-proval, the project just sat there because it was not a priority for

the city and funding for it was never identified.

In the early 2000s, Saranac/Mohawk community (now Mesa Colony) residents Steve and Gail Barlow and Troy Murphree re-alized that, in theory, it was an approved project and be-gan lobbying the College Area Community Council, the city, the school, the school district, the city council office, etc., re-lentlessly. After Gail and Steve moved away, Troy and Mesa Colony Community Group chair, Terry Shirley continued leadership of the battle and en-listed not only Mesa Colony and

CACC leadership, however our city council office. After many grueling years, funding was identified and the project moved forward. The battle, however, was not over.

As was done at the Language Academy joint-use park, the plan was to use artificial turf, which would defeat the com-munity’s goal of creating a cool, restful, oasis as a community asset, not a hot green-colored open space. After more pushing and lobbying, agreement was reached to use real turf for the field and to add shade trees and benches.

Depending on whether the turf is ready to sustain public use, the goal is to hold a dedi-cation ceremony and then open the park by late July. Please look for announcements for the dedication ceremony and join fellow community members in celebrating one of the extremely rare dedications of a park in the College Area. It has been an up-hill battle that has taken more than 40 years. This is something really worth celebrating.

55 YEARS AT COLLEGE VIEW ESTATES

Community has never been more important than it is today, and so I wanted to write to cel-ebrate one of the few original homeowners who still reside in College View Estates. This is a story of Dick and Luanne Reed. Theirs is a story about love for each other, their neighbors, and this community.

High school sweethearts since 1945, Dick and Luanne moved to CVE in 1965 from Los Angeles. Luanne’s happiest memories center around the cul de sac near their home on College Gardens. She recalls dozens of children playing there, and how the neighbors would whistle at dinnertime to call their children back in.

The Reeds raised three chil-dren in that house and they all went to nearby schools like Hardy and Horace Mann. Dick served in the Air Force for a few years, and but mainly worked for Pac Bell his entire life. He has long been a volunteer at the San Diego Hospice and speaking for them both he said, “So many good things have happened to our lives I cannot believe it. We have been so blessed.”

They still love this neighbor-hood and their neighbors who, “are terrific and amazing and even help bring in the newspa-per.” Dick turns 90 soon. If you find yourself walking past their lovely home on College Gardens please be sure to wish him a hap-py 90th. (Luanne specifically said she has stopped counting her birthdays!).

Stories like Dick and Luanne are the stories we all wish for ourselves: to have a home that provides safety and comfort,

to live among people who we love and respect and who care for us in return. The local and national events of the last few weeks have highlighted that we as individuals, neighbors, and citizens can do a lot more to ensure that everyone gets the chance to lead a life of safe-ty, security, opportunity, and neighborly love.

—By Prashant Bharadwaj on behalf of the College View Estates Community Council.

EL CERRITO COMMUNITY COUNCIL UPDATE

With the suddenness of the required isolation during coro-navirus, El Cerrito Community Council did not get an oppor-tunity hold its March elections. The board recognizes that fact and intends to hold elections at the next in-person ECCC meet-ing we are able to hold.

Our Bylaws do not currently have provisions for elections for emergencies during which meet-ings are not held in person and we may work on that.

Shop local: Think El Cerrito and the College Area first when you are choosing where to dine and shop and get services.

There have numerous busi-nesses in El Cerrito along El Cajon Boulevard such as restaurants, coffee shops, a f lower shops, a dog groomer, exercise studios, veterinarian, lawn mower shop, car repair and other businesses we real-ly like, that have mostly been able to get by with the PPP and CARE Act monies provided by the federal government. The funds and timeframes for these programs are limited to the next few months. Also, SDSU

recently announced it will not open for the fall 2020 semester, so fewer students will be in the area.

As we get out of isolation and get back into something like our regular routines, let’s sup-port our local businesses and their employees. Add one of the restaurants in the area to your weekly schedule and frequent the services of the businesses.

If we do not support these businesses, we will find it in-creasingly difficult to get oth-er businesses we want and the Boulevard could become more of the businesses we do not want.

Free COVID testing: If you are having COVID-19 symp-toms, the Tubman-Chavez Center, located at 415 Euclid Ave. has been set up for free testing for active virus cases, without the need of a doctor’s referral.

The testing for active infection is generally a swab of the nose or throat. That sample is then test-ed for live infection. Symptoms include fever or chills, cough, difficulty breathing, fatigue, headache, sore throat.

—By Laura Riebau on behalf of the El Cerrito Community Council.

WAYS TO ENJOY A COVID SUMMER

School’s out for summer! Welcome words after three months of home schooling. Typically, a time of greatly an-ticipated fun and adventure — summer in the COVID-era will be markedly different. Families with and with-out school-aged children will need to adjust trav-el itineraries with their health in mind. Things may be open-ing-up more, but until an effec-tive vaccine is available, we’ll have to get creative to generate safer adventures.

Most of us have been forced to alter plans to comply with changing mandates and guide-lines. Summer get-aways by air, ship, train and even car are being curtailed, as previ-ously planned cruises, resort stays, family reunions, and

even camps for kids have been or are at risk of being cancelled. It seems most families will stay closer to home during the sum-mer of 2020.

You may have heard that some people are already gearing-up for change as part of a resur-gence of camping. Turns out, the great outdoors is a great place to enjoy summer activities and keep some distance. Camping in a tent under the stars or in the comfort of a recreational vehicle can provide a meaningful con-nection with nature and with immediate family members. Whether you like hiking, moun-tain biking or outdoor photogra-phy, there are many more things to do again with the loosening of restrictions and the re-opening of regional parks, beaches and campgrounds.

Amy and Haken Anuk, res-idents of Alvarado Estates, re-ported that they excited “to do more outdoor activities” with their two children by utilizing a second home in Deer Valley, Utah and also using a trailer for some overnight trips around Park City.

The Anuks said they use the HipCamp website to find camp-ing sites by lakes or reservoirs that are close to biking and walking trails.

“So far it has been great. Wonderful way to spend time with your children and pets,” they said.

Even if you’re not cut out for camping, there are plenty of oth-er great ways to be active close to home while being socially responsible. Try exploring, on foot, areas of town you have not slowed down to experience up-close before. Or like one neighbor said, “I’m going to all the places I only go to when I have company in town. Makes me feel like I am on vacation!”

Whether you take a road trip to go camping or plan some oth-er adventurous activities closer to home, you’re sure to generate fun and safe experiences for a memorable summer.

—By Karen Austin on behalf of the Alvarado Estates Association.

Indoor gardening while working from home

The first weekend after being sent to work from home during the COVID-19 quarantine, I woke up to questions: “Will my parents be okay? Is my job secure? Do I have enough food?”

It was a lot to grapple with be-fore coffee. As I dumped the used grounds into the trash to make a fresh pot, the half bag of soil I had laying on the floor caught my eye. It gave me an idea.

Between the used coffee grounds, soil, eggshells, and plant seeds, I had everything I would need to start an indoor garden. Checking on the plants would break up my already-monotonous morning walk from my bed to my couch. And more importantly, in-stead of all those unanswerable

questions, I could wake up asking, “What’s grown?”

To start, I cracked four eggs, poured the yolks into a bowl to make an omelet, and set the larger portion of the eggshell halves back into the carton. Then I filled the shells with soil and mixed in just a pinch of used coffee grounds.

My basket full of seeds was sitting by the door like a sad puppy waiting to go outside to the community garden where I normally go. I picked up the basket, opened seed packages and buried green onion seeds into one egg, lettuce seeds into another, and used the last two eggshells to plant basil seeds. The sunny ledge of my windowsill seemed like the perfect home for the eggs. After misting the soil, I stood there watching the water slowly sink in. Each step of the process took me further away from the spiraling thoughts that

started my morning. Where so much was unknown, gardening, even in eggshells, was reliable.

One day I got an email from my work. My department needed to have a meeting about upcoming changes. Everyone knew it would be a difficult call. Sure enough, when the call ended, my apart-ment felt noticeably quiet.

I walked to the windowsill to check on the little eggs. And that is when I spotted them. My first sprouts! The excitement of seeing tiny flecks of green pierc-ing through the soil shocked the weight of that conversation right out of me — it may not have lasted long, but it put things back into perspective. Life goes on.

In the months that have fol-lowed, each of the plants in those eggs graduated to larger vessels. As they did, I stopped counting my days in terms of how long I had been stuck inside and started

counting them in terms of “days until harvest.”

I grew a full head of lettuce, two pots of basil, and some still puny green onions. But the real thing I was cultivating was a sense of a future I could know and under-stand. That tastes especially sweet in times like these.

total of $267,140 in civil penalties, relocation benefits and costs with $36,000 of those penalties set aside for restitution to the victims. Failure to comply with the per-manent injunction to cease oper-ations will result in an additional $1,124,000 in civil penalties.

For more than 10 years the property at 5128 Ewing Street had been operating as an ILF. In exchange for rent, ILFs are sup-posed to provide housing to indi-viduals who can live independent-ly and function without supervi-sion or medication oversight.

“Independent living facilities are often the only affordable ac-commodations available to some of our most vulnerable residents, and many are afraid to speak up about deplorable conditions or abuse for fear of retaliation,” Elliott said. “Our office relies on the community to report unsafe

living conditions so that we can protect elder and dependent adults and hold accountable those who exploit them for financial gain.”

The property had been cited re-peatedly for building violations over the past decade and was the subject of 297 calls for police service, most of which included suicide threats, disturbing the peace, and calls for psychiatric evaluations.

More than 10 clients lived in the 2,400-square-foot house, and many were elderly or dependent adults with developmental dis-abilities. When city investigators inspected the property, they found multiple Health and Safety Code violations including infestations of vermin, bedbugs, and cockroach-es, an illegal water heater emitting noxious fumes into living spaces, and bedrooms lacking required safe exits among other violations.

In December 2018, the family of one of the clients removed him due to filthy conditions existing at the property, which contributed

to the amputation of his remain-ing foot. Twice, city inspectors found a resident lying naked and unresponsive in a dirty trash-strewn bedroom. This resident was removed from the property and hospitalized.

Living conditions at the prop-erty deteriorated so dangerous-ly that city officials ordered the home evacuated in April 2019 and ordered the property owners to pay residents’ relocation costs. The residents were also provided relocation assistance by a City Attorney’s Office Victim Services Coordinator, a new position cre-ated to ensure victims residing in substandard conditions find safe housing and are connected to crit-ical social services.

The judgment is the result of a November 2019 civil en-forcement action filed by the City Attorney’s Office against the property owners, manag-er, and operator alleging vio-lations of the California Unfair Competition Law, maintenance of

a public nuisance, and violations of the San Diego Municipal Code. California’s Unfair Competition law authorizes the City Attorney to bring a civil enforcement ac-tion against any person who has engaged in unfair competition. The lawsuit sought a permanent injunction and payment of civil penalties.

The case against the Ewing Street facility is part of the City Attorney’s larger crackdown on substandard housing and ILFs that violate health and safety

laws and endanger vulnerable residents.

The lawsuit was filed on behalf of the People of the State of California and The City of San Diego by Deputy City Attorney Paul F. Prather of the City Attorney’s Office Nuisance Abatement Unit (NAU). NAU works with the Code Enforcement Division of the City’s Development Services Department, the San Diego Police Department, other local agencies and the com-munity to identify and address problem properties.

Stop renting in San Diego, buyBy SARAH WARD

My inspiration for this week’s article is from a graduation BBQ party I attended over the week-end. It was great to be in the fresh air and socializing with family and close friends, and congratulating a recent grad-uate. At one point my conver-sation with a friend turned to real estate. This friend is paying $2,500 per month living in a two-bedroom rental apartment, a half-mile east of Ocean Beach. I suggested maybe he consider buying something and he had a couple reactions. First he want-ed to wait until he was able to afford a proper home in the beach area.

I have heard this before as buyers sometimes want to wait until they can afford their dream home. But the typical path to a dream home usual-ly starts with a starter home. I suggested starting with some-thing smaller with the plan of eventually purchasing a forever home. The reason is that real es-tate prices tend to increase slow-ly over time and a starter home will get a buyer “in the game” and hedge against rising prices and allow a first-time buyer to start earning some equity. You have to start somewhere!

I helped a 25-year old recently purchase a two-bedroom con-do near North Park for around $325,000. Over the next few years, his mortgage balance will decrease and the property value will likely increase offer-ing that buyer options in a few years. He could sell the property and pull out maybe $75,000 to $100,000 in equity that could be put towards another prop-erty or that property could be turned into an excellent long term investment rental proper-ty. That buyer knew it wouldn’t be his forever home, it was just

a stepping stone to greater real estate investment.

So that is my first point of this article. So many renters say they want to wait until they can afford a single-family dream home property but as I said, purchasing a condo or townhouse now is an import-ant starting point to eventu-ally reaching that goal. I have a listing in escrow right now where that is what the buyers did. They purchased a starter home some years ago and re-cently sold it generating a pret-ty large down payment for their current three-bedroom home in the College Area.

A second point I wanted to make is that amazing loan pro-grams are available for buyers where just a 3.5% down pay-ment is needed to purchase a property. Typically, a buyer just needs appropriate income to qualify. Interest rates are ridic-ulously low, making a mortgage payment similar to a rent pay-ment. So renting for the next five years will build exactly ze-ro equity but purchasing a nice condo or townhouse starter home, with a similar payment to renting, would typically build significant equity that could be used towards purchasing a larger property. They key is to “get into the market” and start building equity.

So for the friend I mentioned at the beginning of this article, paying $2500 a month, for that same payment (including prop-erty taxes) he could purchase a super nice luxury condo for around $425,000. For a very nice $350,000 condo in a nice location the all-in payment is just about $2,000. Once again, this does not have to be his forever home, this could be a five-year home and then he could either rent that property as an investment or sell that

property at a profit and move into something perhaps a little more desirable. Gains on the sale of most primary residenc-es are tax free after two years of ownership.

So the point of this week’s article is to reach out to those of you (or someone you know) who is currently renting and start exploring the possibility of owning San Diego property by seeing what is out there and what sort of payments would be required. I think you would be surprised to see that mortgage payments are similar to rent-al payments these days and a reminder that home owners receive a significant tax de-duction, reducing taxes year over year while owning prop-erty. Call me for a no obligation meet up to further discuss the idea of purchasing a San Diego property.

COLLEGE AREA REAL ESTATE

While new single-family res-idence listings were down year over year from 52 properties to 39 properties, the median sale price jumped up $100,000 from $585,000 to $685,000. That is a little misleading as we are looking at a much smaller sam-ple size with only 14 properties closing last month versus 29 properties closing at this time last year. Inventory dropped from 46 properties down to 29 properties available for sale. The summary is that although the market slowed, property prices have remained firm and I do ex-pect the market to ramp up over the coming months as demand remains very high and interest rates are extremely favorable.

Local brewery app startup broadens scope amid crisis

By JEFF CLEMETSON | College Times Courier

When Lisa Schloss founded Rad Locals, her vision was to make a website and app that could connect beer aficionados with breweries based on their preferences like types of beers, atmosphere at the brewery, tours available — that kind of thing. But then came the coronavirus.

“When COVID hit we were just in a place where all these different businesses are impacted – our busi-ness was impacted,” the CEO said. “We had to kind of stop operations of building out the application because people were losing jobs and so on. And that’s where was saw not just the breweries but also the restau-rants and all these other places just take a hard hit.”

Watching local businesses strug-gle prompted Schloss and the Rad Locals team made up of recent SDSU graduates — marketing di-rector Zara Wehrung and outreach director James Henderson — to shift gears and turn the website into something more than just a place for beer lovers.

“So we decided in a week’s time to just build our website because we noticed there was nothing at the time for people to log into that would show what was open for take-out, what discounts these business-es were trying to give, and also a lot of the stuff they were doing for first responders,” Schloss said.

Over 220 businesses signed up to partner with Rad Locals.

“As places are opening up, it’s still a struggle,” Schloss said. “There’s so much emotional and monetary damage that people are having to recover from. So we’ve been doing our best to promote and make these businesses.”

Recently, the website has shifted to focus on connecting customers with another subset of businesses – Black-owned establishments.

“Right now with what’s going on with the protests and the pain that our community is feeling, and the Black community especially is feel-ing, we want to be there for them and use this next however long we need to to promote their business-es,” Schloss said.

Schloss sees this trend continuing for the Rad Locals website, adapting to current needs of connecting cus-tomers to businesses.

“I knew I always wanted to do something in the community and it just happens that the point in time that I was ready to be in a place to be out there helping them, is when all of these occurrences and detrimen-tal and history changing things are going around us,” she said.

Going forward, the fledgling tech upstart will continue to focus on support for communities in need and offer marketing help to any business, but Schloss said she does hope to eventually get back to the original objective of the company when it was born at SDSU — good beer.

Power graduating he joined The Spaceship Company — a Virgin Group compa-ny building the company’s space-crafts — as a full-time member of staff.

“The Galactic Unite scholarship was an invaluable stepping stone for my career; without it, I wouldn’t be living my dream job every day. The support I got progressed into an in-ternship at The Spaceship Company, which has turned into a full-time career that I couldn’t be more for-tunate to have,” Engelbrecht said. “I’ve played a vital role in Spaceship Unity’s progress towards spaceflight, and have recently started control room training. To be able to be in the control room during a human spaceflight mission is a life goal of mine.”

Spaceflight has also been a life-long dream of Borden’s, whose fa-ther was a founder of Glenair, a California-based aerospace com-pany founded in 1056 — the year Borden was born.

“But I didn’t pursue that as a ca-reer,” Borden said. “Most of my ca-reer has been in the travel business here in San Diego.”

In addition to running a small chain of travel agencies which he sold in 2000, Borden has also been an avocado farmer and is current-ly co-owner of Uptown Tavern in Hillcrest.

“I’m a natural fit for this. I’m a co-owner of a bar and restaurant, which is exactly what you would think of who would be involved in aerospace engineering,” he joked.

Jokling aside, Borden said he is looking forward to the opportu-nity of going to space with Virgin Galactic “when they are ready.” He added that he is confident that will be soon. In the meantime, he is thankful for the opportunity Virgin has given him to help oth-er future astronauts and engineers at SDSU.

“The commitment across the Virgin group to supporting students, to supporting the future is really an amazing thing and not something you see often in the business world,” he said.
