Midway Rising Advances But Council Insists Affordable Housing Should Be \u2018New\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n

By Scott Lewis | Voice of San Diego<\/p>\n

Friday, a committee of the San Diego City Council advanced the project that Midway Rising leaders have been working on for five years.<\/p>\n

But first, let\u2019s set the scene.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s 2021, the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, and Republicans just accomplished a historic feat: an effort to recall Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom has qualified for the ballot, only the second time that\u2019s happened to any sitting governor.<\/p>\n
