ALL WERE CENTERED IN OR AROUND THE WEINERT FAULT.

>> AS FAR AS WE KNOW THIS FAULT HAS NOT RUPTURED IN THE HISTORICAL PERIOD WHICH REALLY GOES BACK TO THE LATE 1800s.

WE REALLY DON'T KNOW MUCH BEFORE THEN.

IT IS WELL EXPRESSED ON THE LAKEBED, AND EVEN THROUGH THE AGRICULTURE WHICH PROBABLY MEANS IT HAS RUPTURED IN THE LAST 300 YEARS.

>> THE WEINERT FAULT IS A PART OF THE SOUTHERN SYSTEM, THAT SYSTEM GENERATED A SIZABLE EARTHQUAKE BACK IN 1987.

IT MEASURES SIX POINTS THREE ON THE RICHTER SCALE AND INJURED NEARLY 100 PEOPLE IN UNITED AND MEXICO.

A LONG, QUIET FAULT RUNS HER AND UNDER A BIG PART OF THE TOWN.

>> THE FAULT LINE IS GENERATING MAGNITUDE 6 EARTHQUAKES CAPABLE, IT LOOKS LIKE ASSESSMENT ACTIVITY ALONE OF ALL THAT HAS BEEN RELATIVELY QUIET FOR SUCH AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.

SINCE OCTOBER THE GROUP COMPUTED OVER 400 LIFE-CHANGING SURGERIES AS WELL AS NUMEROUS CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS.

>> WE ARE LITERALLY TAKING PEOPLE WHO CANNOT SEE AND GIVING THEM SITE.

THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO DIE IF WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING AND WE DID.

YOU ARE RIGHT.

THE NEW PAYMENT PLAN DIRECTS THE LEAST MONEY THERE.

KPBS REPORTER KATIE-SPOKE WITH FRUSTRATED RESIDENTS.

>> YOU HAVE MORE POTHOLES THAN BULLET HOLES AT A SHOOTING RANGE.

>> EVELYN.EVELYN IS ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO SAYS THE POOR STREETS KEEP HER FROM GETTING TO CLASS AT SAN DIEGO STATE.

>> I DON'T HAVE A CAR, IT BROKE DOWN I'M SURE THE STREETS DIDN'T HELP BUT IT BROKE DOWN.

I HAVE BEEN TAKING THE BUS AND BECAUSE OF THE CONSTRUCTION, THE CLOSED OFF STREETS, SOMETIMES THE BUS DOES NOT COME.

>> SHE HAS TO USE SCARCE FOOD MONEY FOR GOOBERS.

ROB CAMPBELL SAYS THE PAVEMENT IS DANGEROUS.

>> SIDEWALK JUST SUDDENLY ENDS AND YOU WERE DUCKING INTO A STREET AND THE STREET IS IN SUCH POOR SHAPE, KIDS CAN'T WRITE THEIR BIKES.

>> THEY CLOSE THAT OFF AND NOW THERE IS A HUGE DIP IN THE ROAD AND CARS GO ON THE OTHER SIDE TO GO AROUND IT.

THIS IS ALL DAY.

>> FIXING ROADS IS EXPENSIVE.

THE MORE IT COSTS, EXPONENTIALLY.

THE CITY RECENTLY RELEASED MANAGEMENT PLAN WITH THE BEST VALUE APPROACH, STRETCHING BUDGET DOLLARS BY IMPROVING THE STREETS THAT AREN'T AS BAD.

GETTING THE CITY STREETS TO QUOTE SATISFACTORY CONDITION OVERALL BUT IT LEAVES DISTRICT COURT BEHIND.

IT SPENDS THE LEAST THERE, $144 MILLION OVER 10 YEARS AND THE MOST ALMOST DOUBLE THAT IN WEALTHIER DISTRICT 5 WHICH CURRENTLY HAS THE BEST STREET CONDITIONS.

IN RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS THE CITY SAID THE STREETS DIVISION WORKED WITH DEPARTMENT OF RACE AND EQUITY AND BACKWARD FACTORED EQUITY IN.

>> SOMEHOW THE WAY THE NUMBERS SHAKE OUT , WE ALWAYS END UP AT THE BOTTOM.

>> THE FORMULA ALSO GIVES WEIGHT TO ROADS THAT ARE USED MORE.

THERE ROADS ARE USED LAST BECAUSE THE CITY HAS UNDERDEVELOPED THEIR DISTRICT.

>> TO ME AT THE SAME GAME THEY'VE BEEN PLAYING FOR EVER.

ONE ERA WAS CALLED DESEGREGATION AND ANOTHER ERA WAS CALLED AFFIRMATIVE-ACTION IT BECAME DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION THAT IT BECAME EQUITY.

IT'S JUST TALK.

>> DISTRICT 4 WITH A HIGH CONCENTRATION OF LOW INCOMES AND BLACK AND LATINO RESIDENTS WAS ONE OF THE WORST HIT RECENT FLOODS.

THE WATER ROSE IN MINUTES.

BUT RESIDENTS SAY THE PROBLEM GREW FROM DECADES OF UNDERSERVICED BY THE CITY.

>> IT FEELS LIKE WE ARE ALMOST WAITING.

AND IF IT'S NOT GOING TO COME, THEN JUST STOP TALKING ABOUT IT.

JUST SAY THAT YOU JUST HAVE A CONCENTRATION OF POVERTY AND THAT'S WHERE YOU PUT EVERYBODY AND A FEW PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO GET OUT.

THAT'S HOW THE WORLD WORKS.

THAT'S NOT HOW I SEE IT.

I LOVE THIS COMMUNITY.

I ALWAYS FEEL LIKE I AM HOME, THAT THIS IS HOME FOR ME.

THEY ALSO SAID WE UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT THE SPEECH ACCESS IS TO THE COMMUNITY AND LOOK FORWARD TO COMPLETING THESE REPAIRS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

MIKE VALERIO HAS SOME TIPS IF GOING TO DISNEY IS PART OF YOUR POST SUPER BOWL PLANS.

IT IS THE ULTIMATE MOMENT, A SUPER BOWL VICTORY IN THE TIME- HONORED TRADITION AT DISNEY WORLD OR DISNEYLAND, VICTORY CELEBRATION.

TICKETS TO THE FLAGSHIP DISNEY PARKS HAVE SHOT UP IN PRICE.

ONE DAY TICKET TO DISNEY WORLD DURING PEAK HOLIDAY SEASON IS UP 47% SINCE 2019 FAR OUTPACING THE RATE OF INFLATION ACCORDING TO PRESIDENT OF THE ONLINE THEMEPARK GUIDE.

>> DEMAND FOR DISNEY KEEPS GOING UP.

HE HAS TRACKED DISNEY PARK PRICES FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS AND A KEY MONEY-SAVING HAND, GET TICKETS FOR FEBRUARY OR SEPTEMBER HAVE LARGELY ESCAPED RECENT PRICE HIKES.

>> THEY HAVE KEPT THE PRICE HIKE FOR FIVE YEARS BUT THE CHEAPEST TICKET HAS STAYED THE SAME BECAUSE YOU CAN ONLY GET THAT TICKET ON A REALLY LOW CROWDED DAY.

>> ANOTHER TIP .

>> DON'T BUY IT ONE DAY .

IT'S A BAD IDEA.

DISNEY WORLD IS HUGE AND YOU NEED MANY DAYS TO GO THERE.

IT'S ALSO VERY EXPENSIVE, MUCH CHEAPER PER DAY IF YOU BUY A MULTI-DAY TICKET.
