Coronado and Imperial Beach Haven’t Produced a Single Affordable Home in Years
By Will Huntsberry | Voice of San Diego
Coronado and Imperial Beach are about as opposite as two California beach communities can be. One exclusive, wealthy, Republican leaning. The other working class, Democratic, not-so-long-ago affordable and not too high on most vacation lists.
But they do share one key fact: Neither permitted a single unit of affordable housing between 2018 and the end of last year, according to an analysis by Voice of San Diego and KPBS.
Even Del Mar, which is much smaller and has a reputation for being openly hostile to home building, permitted 74 homes that are considered affordable during the same period.
California cannabis companies hoped Trump would be an ally. Then the raids happened
By Alexei Koseff | CalMatters
After massive federal raids last week at two Southern California cannabis farms, the United Farm Workers posted an urgent message to its social media accounts. Because weed remains illegal under federal law, the union advised workers who are not U.S. citizens to avoid jobs in the cannabis industry, even at state-licensed facilities.
“We know this is unfair,” the United Farm Workers wrote Monday, “but we encourage you to protect yourself and your family.”
The immigration enforcement operations at the Camarillo and Carpinteria facilities of Glass House Farms, one of the state’s largest licensed cannabis companies, have unsettled California’s legal industry, which feels more vulnerable than it has since voters approved recreational weed in 2016.
‘Don’t You Lie To Me’ Gavin Newsom

There are many songs about lies, liars, cheaters, deceivers, and fibbers – “Don’t You Lie To Me” by Chuck Berry, “Suspicious Minds” by Elvis Presley, “Take It On The Run” by REO Speedwagon, “Lyin’ Eyes” by the Eagles, “The Policy of Truth” by Depeche Mode – all express how rotten it is when someone lies to you.
A pathological liar is a liar who lies incessantly to get their way and does so with little awareness. Pathological lying is often a warning sign of antisocial personality disorder (commonly known as a psychopath). A pathological liar is usually considered manipulative, selfish, and cunning.
A compulsive liar is a habitual liar. Compulsive liars bend the truth about everything, large or small. For a compulsive liar, telling the truth is very awkward and uncomfortable, while lying feels right.
