>>> GOOD EVENING, IT IS THURSDAY NOVEMBER 18th, THANK YOU FOR JOINING US, I AM MAYA TRABULSI .

A CONTENTIOUS ISSUE FOR SOME, BEING FORCED TO GET A VACCINATION.

FOR CITY WORKERS IN SAN DIEGO THEY ARE FACING A DEADLINE THAT COMES WITH CONSEQUENCES.

HOW MANY HAVE YET TO COMPLY WITH THE MANDATE.

>> Reporter: 11,380.

THAT IS THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO WORK FOR THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO.

ALL OF THEM MUST BE FULLY VACCINATED BY DECEMBER 1st TO COMPLY WITH THE CITY MANDATE OR BE DISMISSED.

NEARLY 20% OF THE CITY STAFF CONFIRMED UNVACCINATED.

>> THE CITY IS CONTINUING WITH THE VACCINATION.

THAT IS THE BOTTOM LINE.

>> Reporter: A LEGAL ANALYST WHO PRACTICES LAW.

>> THERE IS A RISK.

NOT ONLY WITH RESPECT TO PUBLIC SAFETY BUT WITH RESPECT TO A VARIETY OF OTHER CITY FUNCTIONS SOME EMPLOYEES ARE GOING TO CHOOSE NOT BACK SITTING OVER CHOOSING TO WORK FOR THE CITY.

>> Reporter: SOME HAVE THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF UNVACCINATED PEOPLE.

THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WITH ALMOST 37%.

MANUAL AND SKILLED WORKERS ONLY 29%, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND CITY LIFEGUARDS ESSENTIALLY TIED AT JUST OVER 16%.

ALL THIS COMES OVER OSHA SUSPENDING THE STANDARD THAT STATES PRIVATE COMPANIES WITH 100 OR MORE EMPLOYEES MUST REQUIRE VACCINATION OR WEEKLY TESTING.

THE COURT OF APPEALS SAYS THE RULE NEEDS JUDICIAL REVIEW.

IT HAS NO BEARING ON THE CITY MANDATE.

>> STUFF THAT IS GOING ON.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE STUFF THAT IS GOING ON AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL WITH THE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION DOESN'T REALLY HAVE MUCH TO DO WITH WHAT IS GOING ON AT THE STATE AND LOCAL LEVEL.

>> Reporter: IT DOES CREATE CONFUSION.

>> WHEN YOU LOOK AT HOW THE CORONAVIRUS HAS PROGRESSED SINCE ITS INCEPTION.

IT HAS BEEN MOVING FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF LAW.

BECAUSE OF THAT, IF YOU ARE NOT CONFUSED RIGHT NOW ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN AND CANNOT DO.

WHETHER YOU ARE AN EMPLOYEE.

YOU ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION.

>> Reporter: WHETHER OR NOT THE FEDERAL MANDATE HOLDS HE SAYS, PRIVATE EMPLOYERS HAVE THE RIGHT TO CREATE THEIR OWN MANDATES AS A CONDITION OF EMPLOYMENT.

KITTY ALVARADO, KPBS NEWS.

>>> THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO IS ENCOURAGING BOOSTER SHOTS FOR ANYONE ELIGIBLE TO GET ONE.

KPBS REPORTER ALEXANDER ANGEL GETTING PEOPLE VACCINATED, ESPECIALLY OLDER PEOPLE, AND OF THE HOLIDAYS.

>> Reporter: HE SAYS HE IS NOT ONLY GEARING UP FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON, BUT ALSO FOR HIS 72nd BIRTHDAY COMING UP IN TWO WEEKS.

>> THIS IS MY BACKUP.

I HAD TWO SHOTS ARE READY.

>> Reporter: HE WAS ONE OF ABOUT 50 SENIORS SCHEDULED TO GET BOOSTER SHOTS AT THE WEST SENIOR WELLNESS CENTER THURSDAY.

>> RIGHT NOW IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY, ONLY ABOUT TWO IN FIVE OLDER ADULTS HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THE FACT THAT BOOSTERS ARE AVAILABLE.

>> Reporter: HE SAYS THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING THROUGHOUT THE PANDEMIC TO MAKE SURE SENIORS HAVE EASY ACCESS TO THE VACCINE.

THEY SERVE ABOUT 400-500 MILLION HOMELESS SENIORS EACH DAY.

>> MOST OLDER ADULTS WERE IN THE EARLIER PHASES OF GETTING THE VACCINE BACK IN FEBRUARY AND MARCH.

SIX MONTHS HAS PASSED AND THEY SHOULD GET OUT AND GET IT.

PARTICULARLY AS WE GO INTO THE WINTER MONTHS WHEN THERE'S JUST MORE GENERAL VIRUSES AND DISEASES FLOATING AROUND.

>> Reporter: ACCORDING TO THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO, 345,000 SAN DIEGO IS 18 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER HAVE RECEIVED A BOOSTER DOSE.

ON TUESDAY, THE CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR ENCOURAGED ANYONE WHO WANTS A BOOSTER TO GET ONE.

AS LONG AS THEY MEET THE SIX MONTH TIMEFRAME REQUIREMENT FROM WHEN THEY LEFT UPPER COVID SHOT.

SO FAR, THE CDC AND FDA HAVE ONLY RECOMMENDED THAT SENIORS IN HIGH RISK ADULTS GET THE BOOSTER DOSE.

BOTH PFIZER AND MODERNA HAVE FILED FOR EMERGENCY USE FOR THE BOOSTER SHOT FOR ALL ADULTS WITH THE FDA.

THE FDA IS EXPECTED TO MAKE A DECISION ON BOTH CASES SOON.

>>> THE CDC IS MOVING AWAY FROM HERD IMMUNITY AS A GOAL FOR THE AMERICAN PUBLIC.

A MAJOR SHIFT FROM THE EARLY DAYS OF THE PANDEMIC.

HERD IMMUNITY MAINS WERE LARGE AND A PORTION OF THE POPULATION ARE IMMUNIZED AGAINST THE DISEASE, IT BECOMES MUCH HARDER TO SPREAD.

UC SAN DIEGO PROFESSOR AND EPIDEMIOLOGIST MILLER SAYS THERE WERE INITIALLY MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT WHAT HERD IMMUNITY ENTAILS.

>> I THINK IN THE EARLY DAYS, WE REALLY CONFUSE THE IDEA OF HERD IMMUNITY, WHICH IS TO SAY ENOUGH OF THESE ARE VACCINATED WHO CAN GET VACCINATED TO PROTECT THOSE WHO CANNOT, WE REALLY CONFUSE THAT WITH THE IDEA OF ELIMINATION OR ERADICATION.

SO, COVID WAS NEVER GOING TO BE ELIMINATED THROUGH VACCINATION.

THAT WAS NEVER THE GOAL.

BUT THE CAN GET VACCINATED TO PROTECT PEOPLE WHO ARE VULNERABLE.

IT IS JUST A SMALL WAY TO GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY.

>> THEY SERVE AND SACRIFICE SO MUCH FOR OUR NATION AND, YOU KNOW, THIS IS JUST A REALLY GREAT WAY TO GIVE BACK.

THEY CAN CONCENTRATE ON THEIR MISSION.

AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THEIR FAMILIES BACK HOME.

>> Reporter: TO HELP ACTIVE MILITARY MEMBERS, VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON, ORGANIZATIONS ARE STEPPING UP TO HELP.

>> WE NOTICED EACH DISTRIBUTION.

ESPECIALLY DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON, THANKSGIVING, CHRISTMASTIME, FAMILIES ARE REALLY IN NEED OF THE EXTRA HELP AND SUPPORT, WE ARE HERE TO HELP.

TRUCK WITH THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY RELATIONS AT THE ARMED SERVICE YMCA.

>> WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LARGEST MILITARY HOUSING ACTUALLY IN THE NATION AND THE LARGEST ATTRITION OF MILITARY KIDS ARE WITHIN THIS COMMUNITY AND IT IS CONVENIENT FOR THE FAMILY.

>> Reporter: WITH THE HELP OF 20 VOLUNTEERS, FAMILIES RECEIVED FRESH PRODUCE AND CANDIDS ALONG WITH A TURKEY.

RIGHT UP THE ROAD, SUPPORT WITH A UNIQUE DONATION FROM THE UNITED.

>> A LOT OF GOOD DISTRIBUTION.

THEN WHAT DO YOU DO WITH IT?

RIGHT?

THEN IT'S GREAT TO HAVE A CROCKPOT THEY CAN THEN USED TO COOK THE FOOD THEY GET AND IT IS SO EASY.

>> Reporter: THE PRESIDENT AND CEO OF UNITED WAY OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY DELIVERED 130 CROCKPOTS TO STEP.

>> THEY CAN HAVE DINNER ON THE TABLE UNTIL THE KIDS WITH THEIR HOMEWORK AND THAT IS JUST A LITTLE BIT OF A RELIEF FROM THE STRESS OF ALL OF THE DAY, JUST THE ENVIRONMENT WE ARE IN THESE DAYS.

>> WHEN I WAS ON ACTIVE DUTY I USED MY CROCKPOT QUITE A BIT.

IT IS LESS TIME-CONSUMING AFTER A LONG DAY AT WORK.

SOMETHING OUR FAMILIES CAN USE, NOT JUST ONCE, FOR ONE HOLIDAY, BUT FOR MANY HOLIDAYS TO COME.

>> Reporter: THE PROGRAM MANAGER FOR STEP SERVED IN THE MILITARY 30 YEARS.

SHE EXPLAINED WHY MILITARY FAMILIES SOMETIMES NEED EXTRA SUPPORT.

>> THE COST OF LIVING IS HIGH.

SO, WHAT THEY RECEIVE DOES NOT GO AS FAR AS IT DOES IN SOME OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY.

IT JUST HELPS THEM TO OFFSET THOSE HIGH EXPENSES.

>> Reporter: THE CROCKPOTS WILL BE DISTRIBUTED NOVEMBER 20th DURING THE STEP INTO THE HOLIDAYS MILL DISTRIBUTION CAMPAIGN WITH ABOUT 200 ACTIVE- DUTY SERVICE MEMBERS, VETERANS, AND THEIR FAMILIES.

MELISSA MAE, KPBS NEWS.

STRIKE MANY DRIVERS ARE CALLING THE GAS PRICE HIKE CRIMINAL AND NOW PRESIDENT BIDEN IS CALLING FOR AN INVESTIGATION INTO WHETHER OIL COMPANIES ARE FUELING THE SPIKE.

HERE IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY, GAS PRICES ROSE FOR THE NINTH DAY IN A ROW.

THE AVERAGE PRICE OF A GALLON OF REGULAR GASOLINE IS UP TO $4.65.

THAT IS THE HIGHEST AMOUNT SINCE OCTOBER OF 2012.

MORE ON THE GAS PUMP PROBE.

>> IT IS RIDICULOUS.

RIDICULOUS.

>> Reporter: HE IS FEELING THE PINCH AT THE PUMP.

>> ONE EXAMPLE, LOOK AT THIS.

>> Reporter: AT THIS GAS STATION IN CHULA VISTA, REGULAR UNLEADED IS $4.89 A GALLON.

ACROSS THE COUNTRY THE AVERAGE PRICE IS $4.64.

JUST SEVEN CENTS SHY OF THE RECORD HIGH SET IN 2012.

>> EVEN IF YOU DO NOT DRIVE, YOU PROBABLY ARE SEEING THE INCREASED COST OF ENERGY SHOWING UP IN OTHER PRICES OF THINGS.

>> Reporter: THE ECONOMIC PROFESSOR SAYS THE REQUEST OF PRESIDENT BIDEN FOR AN FTC INVESTIGATION IS NOTHING MORE THAN POLITICAL SPHERE.

OTHER POLITICIANS LAUNCHED INVESTIGATIONS IN THE PAST AND THEY ALL HAVE COME UP EMPTY.

IN 2019, THE GOVERNOR ASKED THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TO SEE IF ALL COMPANIES WERE COLLUDING TO DRIVE UP PRICES IN CALIFORNIA TO DATE, NOTHING HAS COME FROM THE INVESTIGATION.

>> I DO NOT THINK THAT IT IS GOING TO BE ANY DIFFERENT NOW.

YOU KNOW, YOU SHOW COLLUSION AND YOU WOULD HAVE TO SHOW THAT PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT OIL COMPANIES, YOU KNOW, HAD GOTTEN TOGETHER TO FIX THE PRICE.

I DO NOT THINK THAT WHAT YOU ARE SEEING IN THE MARKET NOW CAN ONLY BE EXPLAINED BY COLLUSION.

>> Reporter: HE SAYS THE MOST LIKELY CAUSE OF HIGH PRICES IS SIMPLY ECONOMICS.

SUPPLY AND DEMAND.

OIL PRODUCTION HAS NOT BOUNCED BACK TO PRE-PANDEMIC LEVELS BUT PEOPLE ARE DRIVING MORE NOW PLUS, THERE IS A SHORTAGE OF TRUCK DRIVERS.

SUPPLY CANNOT KEEP UP WITH DEMAND.

WITH THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY AROUND THE CORNER, MORE PEOPLE ARE EXPECTED TO HIT THE ROAD.

THAT MEANS HIGH GAS PRICES ARE LIKELY TO CONTINUE FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.

>>> IT HAS BEEN NO EASY TASK.

A SECTION OF BALBOA PARK THAT USED TO BE A PLACE TO PARK HAS TURNED INTO A GATHERING PLACE THANKS TO A RENOVATION PROJECT THAT WAS YEARS IN PLANNING.

30 YEARS INFECTS.

PALISADES PLAZA IS GETTING A MUCH-NEEDED FACELIFT LIKE A NEW PAINT JOB FOR THE AUTOMOTIVE MUSEUM AND NEW CERAMIC TILES FOR THE ENTRANCE.

SPECKED MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN HERE ON THE WEEKENDS AND SEE A BEEHIVE OF ACTIVITY AND FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS AND ATHLETES AND PEOPLE ENJOY THE WE HOPE OVER A PERIOD OF TIME THIS SPACE, THOSE VISITORS WILL START MIGRATING INTO THE SPACE MUSEUM AND THE AUTOMOTIVE MUSEUM AND SOON THE COMIC CON MUSEUM.

>> MORE UPGRADES ARE EXPECTED AT BALBOA PARK INCLUDING REPAVING OF BALBOA DRIVE AND LANDSCAPING.

AND PERMITS OF THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM.

>>> WE HAVE BEEN KEEPING IT COOL QUITE A WHILE NOW AS WE CONTINUE TO SEE SOME OF THE ONSHORE FLOW.

WE BRIEFLY KICK INTO OFFSHORE FLOW HEADING INTO SUNDAY WHICH MEANS MILDER TIME STILL AHEAD OF US.

WE CLOSE OUT THE WEEKENDS.

THERE IS A WEAK DISTURBANCE NEXT WEEK.

I THINK IT BRINGS US A FEW EXTRA CLOUDS AND MANY AREAS WILL NOT BE A HUGE IMPACT WITH TRAVEL.

THE GOOD NEWS IS THANKSGIVING SEEMS OKAY.

SEEMS PRETTY QUIET AS FAR AS THE WEATHER IS CONCERNED.

NOTICE AROUND THE AREA WE ARE TALKING ABOUT COASTAL WIND PERSISTING.

OCEANSIDE 49.

YOU HAD TOWARDS THE LOW, FUTURECAST DEPICTS RAIN CLOUDS STILL HANGING OUT ESPECIALLY AS WE GO INTO DAYBREAK TOMORROW MORNING.

WE WILL HAVE THEM AROUND.

OTHERWISE IT IS CALLED FREE.

AS WE GO INTO FRIDAY, WE HAVE THE CONTINUED COOLING OR THE COASTLINE.

OTHERWISE, PRETTY WARM FOR NOVEMBER THROUGHOUT MOST OF THE SOUTHWEST.

THE WEATHER PATTERN AT LEAST FOR THE BIG PICTURE REALLY STAYS FAIRLY QUIET.

WE SEE SUBTLE CHANGES HERE AS WE GO THROUGH NOT JUST TOMORROW BUT MORE SO THE END OF THE WEEKEND.

TOMORROW, 67 FOR THE HIGH.

RAIN CLOUDS GIVING WAY TO AFTERNOON CENTER.

MOUNT LAGUNA AT 58 FOR THE HIGH.

SATURDAY STILL IS PRETTY QUIET.

THERE IS MORE ACTIVITY FURTHER NORTH WITH THEY DO GET A LITTLE BIT OF COOLER AIR WORKING INTO NEVADA.

IT DOESN'T HAVE AN IMPACT ON THIS.

WE DO SEE THE OFFSHORE FLOW KICK IN FOR SUNDAY WHICH IS WHY WE GET BACK INTO THE UPPER 70s FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY.

IT COMES AT THE PRICE OF A FEW EXTRA CLOUDS WITH A WEAK DISTURBANCE TRYING TO WORK IN FOR SOME OF THE COASTAL AREAS.

INLAND COMMUNITIES, ACTUALLY WERE HANGING ONTO 70s FOR A WHILE HERE.

THAT IS KIND OF THE COOLER COASTAL INFLUENCE WITH THE ONSHORE FLOW.

THE LOWER 80s AS WE GO THROUGH SUNDAY AND MONDAY WITH THE EXTRA CLOUD COVERAGE AGAIN WITH THE WEAK DISTURBANCE COMING INSHORE.

WE FIND THAT TOO IN THE MOUNTAIN LOCATIONS.

NOTICE NO CHANCES OF SHOWERS DEPICTED HERE IS WE KEEP THINGS PRETTY QUIET MORE THAN, DESERT LOCATIONS, STAYING IN THE 80s THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE WEEK INTO THE UPCOMING HOLIDAY WEEK.

>>> THE SAN DIEGO VA HOSPITAL WILL SOON BE RENAMED IN HONOR OF A LOCAL COMBAT VETERAN.

STEVE WALSH SAYS IT IS PART OF AN EFFORT TO MAKE VA HEALTHCARE MORE ACCESSIBLE TO WOMEN.

>> Reporter: THE CAT AND HER WAS 25 YEARS OLD WHEN THE NURSE WAS KILLED IN AFGHANISTAN IN 2013 WHILE SERVING WITH SPECIAL FORCES.

SHE MAY BECOME THE ONLY WOMAN TO HAVE A VA FACILITY RENAMED IN HER HONOR.

AN ARMY VETERAN RENAMED THE VA. >> THE INCREDIBLE CONSISTENCY OF HER CHARACTER FROM VERY EARLY ON.

IT'S LIKE SHE DEVELOPED HER CHARACTER VERY EARLY AND SHE MAINTAINED AND GREW THE CHARACTER THROUGHOUT.

>> Reporter: SHE GREW UP IN LOGAN HEIGHTS AND DID NOT COME FROM A MILITARY FAMILY.

THE COMMUNITY INTERVIEWED FORMER TEACHERS AND FAMILY AND THE JUNIOR ROTC INSTRUCTOR.

>> SHE TOOK ON CHALLENGES AND EXCELLED AT WHAT SHE DID AND I GUESS HER DEDICATION TO SERVING OTHERS WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS CONSISTENT THROUGHOUT HER LIFE.

HER VERY SHORT LIFE.

>> Reporter: ROUGHLY 40% OF THE MILITARY ARE WOMEN BUT THEY DO NOT ALWAYS FEEL WELCOME AT VA FACILITIES.

VA STUDY RECOMMENDED THE LONG LIST OF CHANGES INCLUDING RENAMING FACILITIES FOR FEMALE VETERANS.

A BILL PASSED THIS WEEK WITH EXPANDED MATERNITY SERVICES NATIONWIDE.

>> THE TYPES OF SACRIFICES AND THE TYPES OF COMMITMENT THAT IT TAKES TO DO THINGS WOMEN ARE DOING NOW DESERVES THAT LEVEL OF, YOU KNOW, EXPOSURE.

I DID NOT EVEN KNOW WITH THE MILITARY, NOBODY TOLD ME I WAS ELIGIBLE FOR VA MEDICAL CARE.

>> Reporter: SHE IS ONE OF TWO WOMEN FROM SAN DIEGO WHO DIED IN AFGHANISTAN.

A BILL BY A CONGRESSMAN TO RENAME THE VA PASSED IN THE HOUSE AFTER ALL 53 MEMBERS OF THE CALIFORNIA CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION SIGNED ON.

AND AWAITS A VOTE IN THE SENATE.

STEVE WALSH, KPBS NEWS.

>>> MORE THAN HALF A CENTURY LATER, TWO MEN CONVICTED IN THE ASSASSINATION OF MALCOLM X HAVE BEEN EXONERATED.

TODAY, A MANHATTAN JUDGE DISMISSED THE CONVICTIONS OF TWO MEN PICK UP PROSECUTORS AND THE MEN'S LAWYERS SAY NEW EVIDENCE WAS FOUND THAT SHOWED THEY WERE NOT INVOLVED AND AUTHORITIES WITHHELD SOME OF WHAT THEY KNEW.

BOTH MEN HAD MAINTAINED THEIR INNOCENCE AND WERE PAROLED IN THE 1980S.

ISLAM DIED IN 2009.

>>> TONIGHT, WE CONTINUE THE SECOND PART OF OUR SERIES ON RACIALLY RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.

THE RACE AND EQUITY REPORTER TEXAS TO ONE OF THE MOST EXCLUSIVE AREAS IN THE COUNTRY.

RANCHOS SANTA FE.

>> Reporter:.

92067.

HER THE MOST AFFLUENT ZIP CODES IN THE COUNTRY.

THAT IS A SNIPPET FROM A 2019 EPISODE OF LIFESTYLE SAN DIEGO.

A LOCAL REAL ESTATE SHOW.

AS YOU CAN HERE, THE AREAS EXCLUSIVITY IS A SELLING POINT.

NESTLED IN THE ROLLING HILLS AND EUCALYPTUS GROVES A FEW MILES OFF OF THE NORTH SAN DIEGO COUNTY COAST IT IS A QUINTESSENTIAL SLICE OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PARADISE.

THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE THAT IS ON THE RIDGE AND SOMETIMES FAMOUS NEARLY A CENTURY.

A HIGHLY RESTRICTIVE COVENANT THAT GOVERNS THE COMMUNITY.

THE COVENANT WHICH MANY RESIDENTS POINT TO WITH PRIDE INCLUDE STRICT RULES ON THE SIZES OF LOTS AND THE STYLE OF ARCHITECTURE.

AND, FOR MUCH OF ITS HISTORY, THE RACE AND ETHNICITY OF WHO COULD LIVE THERE.

>> THE PROTECTIVE COVENANT AS IT WAS CALLED WAS CERTAINLY IN THE VANGUARD OF THIS KIND OF RESTRICTION IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

>> Reporter: THAT IS A HIS STORY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO AND AUTHOR OF A BOOK ON THE HISTORY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ARCHITECTURE.

ESTABLISHED IN 1928, THE PROTECTIVE COVENANT BAND BACK ANYONE OF THE AFRICAN OR ASIATIC RACE OR ANYONE NOT WHITE OR OF THE CAUCASIAN RACE FROM OWNING OR RENTING IN RANCHO SANTA FE.

>> IT IS STILL WORKING FROM THE SAME BASIC COVENANTS THAT WAS APPROVED IN 1928.

>> Reporter: IN 1942 U.S. SUPREME COURT RULED RACIALLY RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS WERE ILLEGAL.

THE RANCHO SANTA FE ASSOCIATION DID NOT REMOVE THE RACIST LANGUAGE UNTIL 1973 TO THIS DAY, PEOPLE STILL REFER TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS THE COVENANT.

THAT IS ONE THING RANCHO SANTA FE RESIDENTS WANT TO SEE CHANGED.

>> WE ARE JUST ASKING THAT THEY ADDRESS THESE.

THERE STILL ARE SOME SIGNALS OF DISCRIMINATION.

BY USING THESE WORDS.

BY HAVING THIS DOCUMENT.

PEOPLE OF GOODWILL, WHEN THEY KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG AND DO NOT CHANGE IT, THEN, I THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM.

>> Reporter: TOGETHER WITH LOCAL REAL ESTATE AGENTS, THEY WANT THE RANCHO SANTA FE ASSOCIATION TO RENAME THE PROTECTIVE COVENANT AND STOP PEOPLE FROM REFERRING TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WAY.

THEY SAY THE WORDS TO SEND A CLEAR MESSAGE THAT EVEN TODAY, ONLY THE WHITE AND AFFLUENT ARE WELCOME.

>> I STILL FEEL THE SENSE OF EXCLUSIVITY.

IF I WENT TO SOME OF THE BOUTIQUES IN RANCHO SANTA FE, I WOULD GET A SECOND LOOK.

I CAN GUARANTEE YOU THAT >> Reporter: SHE FEELS THE EXCLUSION REFERRED TO.

SHE'S A FOURTH-GENERATION DAUGHTER AT EDEN GARDENS.

>> AMENITY WHERE GARDENERS AND HOUSEKEEPERS MOSTLY LATINO COULD ACTUALLY LIVE.

OVER THE DECADES.

EDEN GARDENS BECAME SOMETHING RARE AND NO COASTAL CITY WILL COUNTY.

A THRIVING LARGELY LATINO COMMUNITY.

SOMETHING PEOPLE TO REMEMBER AS THE AREA BEGINS TO GENTRIFY.

>> I SAW A COUPLE COME UP AND A VERY EXPENSIVE CAR.

IT WAS CLEAR TO ME THAT THEY WERE SCOPING OUT THE PROPERTIES.

EVERY TIME I SEE THAT, I GET VERY FRUSTRATED.

BECAUSE, THEY DO NOT KNOW THIS COMMUNITY.

THEY ARE THERE TO SCOOP UP A DEAL.

THAT IS THE BOTTOM LINE.

>> Reporter: BACK AT RANCHO SANTA FE, THEY ARE FACING STIFF OPPOSITION TO THE EFFORT TO STRIKE THE COVENANT IN THE COMMUNITY LEXICON.

SHE SAYS SHE HAS HAD PEOPLE ASK FOR IT TO STOP.

>> I HAVE HEARD PEOPLE SAY JUST STOP STIRRING THE POT.

WHAT POTS ARE WE STIRRING?

WHY DO WE HAVE TO STOP STIRRING THE POT?

WE NEED TO CONTINUE, WE HAVE NOT REACHED A PLACE THAT THERE IS NOT A RACIALLY CHARGED CONNOTATION TO THE WORD COVENANTS.

>> Reporter: THE RANCHO SANTA FE ASSOCIATION MANAGER WOULD NOT AGREE TO AN INTERVIEW.

IN A WRITTEN STATEMENT TO KPBS SAYS COVENANT IS A TERM MEANING AGREEMENT AND DOES NOT HAVE RACIAL CONNOTATIONS.

IT REALLY DESCRIBES THE DOCUMENTS IN ITS PURPOSE.

BOTH ACKNOWLEDGE THE SYMBOLIC NATURE OF THE EFFORT AND REALIZE IT WILL NOT CHANGE WITH SANCHO SPECTRE TRYING TO TELL PEOPLE NOT TO GO TO HISTORY.

KNOW IT AND LEARN FROM IT.

>> Reporter: THEY ARE FIGHTING A SIMILAR FIGHT.

THE FAMILY WAS LOCKED OUT OF LIVING IN RANCHO SANTA FE SO MANY YEARS AGO.

A BATTLE OVER WHAT GETS REMEMBERED AND WHY IT MATTERS TO DAY.

SPECTRUM ARE WE CONTINUE THIS CONVERSATION.

HOW ARE SAN DIEGANS CHOOSING TO DEAL WITH RACIAL RESTRICTIONS HAD AND IN THEIR HOMES.

JOIN US TOMORROW FOR THE CONCLUSION ON THE SERIES.

>> I CANNOT COMPETE WITH AMAZON OR OTHER SUPER HIGH-VOLUME SUPPLIERS.

I DO NOT BUY 20,000 COPIES OF A BOOK.

I CANNOT NEGOTIATE FOR A LOWER PRICE.

>> Reporter: THE GAP MAY SEEM WIDER NOW.

e-COMMERCE IS WRAPPED UP IN SWORD PROFITS AND THEY ARE SPENDING BIG WITH CHARTER SHIPS, HIRING PERSONNEL AND CIRCLING SUPPLY CHAIN BOTTLENECKS.

>> I AM HOPING THAT WE ARE GOING TO COMMUNICATE WELL ENOUGH AND CUSTOMERS KNOW IT IS NOT NECESSARILY US.
