THE UNION COULD NOT GIVE US THAT INFORMATION IN A LOOK AT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

>> SOME PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, HAVING TO MAKE THE TOUGHEST DECISION PROBABLY OF THEIR CAREERS.

>> Reporter: SHAFER SAYS THEY ENCOURAGE VACCINATION, BUT DO NOT BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE MANDATED.

HE WORRIES THE CITY WILL LOSE A LOT OF GOOD COPS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCE AND CANNOT BE REPLACED BY COSTLY NEW HIRES.

>>> SAN DIEGAN VOTERS MAY BE ASKED TO WEIGH IN ON A PLAN FOR CITY LIBRARIES AND PARKS.

JACOB AERE HAS THE DETAILS.

TRUCK IN FRONT OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY THERE WAS A CALL TO ACTION TO IMPROVE LIBRARIES AND PARKS ACROSS SAN DIEGO WEDNESDAY.

THOSE PROPOSED TEMPERAMENTS INCLUDE FREE PUBLIC WI-FI, PLAYGROUNDS, HOMELESS SERVICES AND AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS.

PATRICK STEWART IS THE CEO OF THE SAN DIEGO PUBLIC LIBRARY FOUNDATION.

SPIKE MANY OF THE SAN DIEGO LIBRARIES AND PARKS ARE UNSAFE AND IN NEED OF MODERNIZATION OR SIMPLY ARE FALLING APART.

THE SAN DIEGO LIBRARIES ARE SUFFERING FROM CONSTRUCTION BACKLOGS OF MORE THAN $50 MILLION ACCORDING TO A RECENT ESTIMATE.

PARKS NEED A MINIMUM INVESTMENT OF $200 MILLION JUST TO MEET BASIC HEALTH AND SAFETY STANDARDS.

>> Reporter: MANY LIBRARIES ARE NOW FACING STAFFING SHORTAGES AND IN THE CASE OF CLEMENTS PUBLIC LIBRARY, THAT MEANS CLOSING ITS DOORS TEMPORARILY.

THE CHAIR OF THE SAN DIEGO PARKS FOUNDATION SAID SAN DIEGO PARKS ARE ALSO FACING PROBLEMS.

>> SAN DIEGO HAS THE SECOND LARGEST URBAN PARK SYSTEM IN THE NATION.

PARKS FUNDING FROM THE CITY OPERATING FUND DECLINED BY NEARLY 33% BETWEEN 2005 AND 2019.

WE ARE MOVING AS A CITY IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

>> Reporter: THE UPGRADES ARE FACTORED INTO VIEWERSHIP.

THE LIBRARIES AND PARKS WILL BE GUIDED BY THE RECENTLY PASSED SAN DIEGO PARKS MASTER PLAN WHICH FOCUSES ON CITYWIDE EQUITY.

HE SAYS COMMUNITIES HISTORICALLY UNDERFUNDED FOR THEIR PARKS AND LIBRARIES LIKE CITY HEIGHTS WOULD BE GIVEN EXTRA ATTENTION.

>> THESE INVESTMENT WILL HELP TO FIX LONG-STANDING ISSUES AND REDUCE HISTORICAL INEQUITIES SO ALL OF OUR COMMUNITIES HAVE ACCESS TO THE OPPORTUNITIES THEY DESERVED.

>> THE LIBRARY PARKS FOUNDATION WANTS TO PUT THE ISSUE BEFORE VOTERS NEXT YEAR.

THEY ARE LEADING AN EFFORT TO COLLECT SIGNATURES IN PLACE THE LIBRARY AND PARKS INVESTMENT ECTOMY NOVEMBER 2022 BALLOT.

>>> THE VETERANS VILLAGE OF SAN DIEGO HOSTED THE 33rd STANDOUT EVENT TODAY AT THE SAN DIEGO CAMPUS.

OVER 50 SERVICE PROVIDERS WHERE THERE FROM THE HOMELESS COURT HELPING WITH MINOR VIOLATIONS AND TICKETS.

FOR FAMILY HEALTH CENTERS WITH FREE FLU SHOTS.

>> IT IS A TIME TO REALLY, YOU KNOW, REST AND TO THINK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS HAPPENING TODAY AND TO THINK ABOUT HOW YOU MOVE PAST YOUR CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES.

THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT WITH THE HELP AND SUPPORT OF THE COMMUNITY.

>> NORMALLY, THESE EVENTS TAKES PLACE OVER THREE DAYS, BUT, DO TO THE PANDEMIC IT WAS LIMITED TO ONE DAY.

THE NEXT STANDOUT EVENT IS SCHEDULED FOR NEXT JUNE.

>>> PROBLEMS WITH THE SUPPLY CHAIN IN THE U.S.

TOUCHED ALL OF US IN DIFFERENT WAYS.

AS WE APPROACH THE HOLIDAYS, JOHN CARROLL TALK TO THE OWNER OF THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY LARGEST LOCAL TOY RETAILER TO SEE HOW HE IS HANDLING THE PROBLEM.

>> THE SITUATION WITH CARGO SHIPS WAITING OFF OF THE COAST IS NOT GETTING ANY BETTER.

THIS WEEK, THE MARINE EXCHANGE OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA REPORTED A RECORD 86 SHIPS WAITING FOR A SPACE TO BECOME AVAILABLE WHAT IS HAPPENING OUT THERE DIRECTLY IMPACTS WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE ON LAND, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO GIVING GIFTS FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON.

BUT A HAPPY EXCEPTION TO THAT HERE AT GEPPETTO SWEAR THE SHELVES ARE FULLY STOCKED WITH PLENTY OF TOYS AND GAMES.

SPIKE I HAVE NINE STORES AROUND SAN DIEGO.

>> Reporter: THE STORE OWNER SAYS ALL OF THE STORES LOOK LIKE THIS, BRIMMING WITH TOYS AND GAMES AND BOOKS LITTLE ONES WILL WANT THIS YEAR.

WITH SO MANY RETAILERS REPORTING PROBLEMS GETTING MERCHANDISE, HOW DID HE DO IT?

ONE WORD.

PREPARATION.

HE BEGAN TO SEE THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL AS SPRING AND DEMAND STARTED GOING UP AS THE PANDEMIC IS.

>> AT THE TIME SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES REALLY STARTED KICKING IN, SO, I TRIED TO HAVE INVENTORY FOR THE HOLIDAYS BECAUSE I KNEW IT WAS COMING AND ORDERED LOTS.

>> Reporter: HE SAYS KEEPING STORES LIKE THIS ONE IN SEAPORT VILLAGE FULLY STOCKED IS A CONSTANT STRUGGLE.

SPIKE IF I ORDER SIX ITEMS FROM THE MANUFACTURER, TO OR GOING TO COME.

THEY WILL COME LATE TO ARE NOT GOING TO COME AT ALL BECAUSE WE CANNOT GET THEM IN TWO MAYBE WE'LL COME.

MAYBE WE WILL GET THEM AROUND CHRISTMAS.

NORMALLY, BEFORE ALL OF THIS, I WOULD ORDER IN TWO WEEKS LATER THE PRODUCTS WOULD SHOW UP OR, IF IT DID NOT SHOW UP FOR THE MANUFACTURER THEY COULD TELL ME OKAY, ON THIS DATE OR THE STATE.

ALL OF THOSE PROJECTIONS ARE GONE.

THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT.

>> MILLER CANNOT GET ANYTHING HE OR MORE IMPORTANTLY, HIS CUSTOMERS WANT.

>> WITH YOUR GRANDCHILD WHO WANTED THE PINK VERSION OF THIS DRAGON, I WOULD FIND THAT WHEN WE COULD GET IT AND I WOULD ORDER IT FOR THE CUSTOMER.

BUT WE CANNOT DO THAT THIS YEAR.

>> Reporter: SOMETHING ELSE MILLER IS HAVING TROUBLE GETTING?

STEPH.

HE HAS A LOT OF POSITIONS OPEN AS WE HEAD INTO THE CHALLENGING HOLIDAY SEASON.

>>> LESS CAR RELIANT AND MORE CLIMATE FRIENDLY.

THAT IS THE GO BEHIND THE MOVE TO REMOVE PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR BUSINESSES IN SOME NEIGHBORHOODS.

THE SAN DIEGO CITY COUNCIL GAVE A UNANIMOUS APPROVAL TO GET RID OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR BUSINESSES THAT ARE LOCATED NEAR AREAS OF MASS TRANSIT OR DENSE RESIDENTIAL AREAS.

THAT MEANS THAT NEW BUSINESSES IN THOSE AREAS WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO DESIGNATE PARKING SPACES FOR STAFF OR CUSTOMERS.

BUSINESSES ALREADY THERE CAN CHANGE THEIR SPOTS INTO OUTDOOR DINING OR RETAIL SPACE.

SOME WHO OPPOSE THE NEW POLICY PROPOSALS SAY THAT SAN DIEGO DOES NOT HAVE A ROBUST ENOUGH TRANSIT SYSTEM FOR THIS TO WORK.

>>> A GLIMPSE TODAY OF WHAT A ZERO CARBON FUTURE MIGHT LOOK LIKE.

EMISSIONS ARE THE PROBLEM.

WE NEED TO MOVE TOWARDS INCENTIVES FOR CLEANER HYDROGEN, ELECTRIC VEHICLES, WHATEVER.

FOR TRACTORS AND TRUCKS.

ALL EQUIPMENT.

THE FINAL PLAN SHOULD BE READY BY SUMMER.

>>> STRUCK OF TAKE A LOOK AT THE WEATHER HEADLINES.

WE STILL HAVE THE MORNING MARINE LAYER.

THAT WILL BE WITH US RUN THROUGH SATURDAY.

>>> RACIALLY RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS ONCE PROHIBITED BLACK, LATINO, ASIAN AND JEWISH FAMILIES FROM MOVING INTO CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOODS ACROSS SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

WE SEE HOW THEY WERE SHAPED IN THIS SPECIAL THREE-PART SERIES.

>> Reporter: EVER SINCE 2014 WHEN MICHAEL BOUGHT HIS HOME IN THE SAN DIEGO NEIGHBORHOOD, HE HAS BEEN A FIXTURE ON THE BLOCK PARTIES AND HAPPY HOURS.

EVERY NOW AND THEN, SOMETHING HAPPENS THAT REMINDS HIM AS A BLACK MAN, HE DID NOT ALWAYS BELONG.

LIKE THE TIME AN OLDER NEIGHBOR MISTOOK HIM AS A GARDENER.

>> I WAS TALKING AND I WENT I ENDED OLDER WOMEN, I WISH I KNEW WHO SHE WAS YOU KNOW.

SHE CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD.

SHE SAID ARE YOU ONE OF THE GARDENERS?

I SAID WHAT WOULD A GARDENER BE DOING AT A HAPPY HOUR?

>> Reporter: READING OVER THE DEED OF HIS RANCH-STYLE HOME, HE FIGURED OUT WHY HIS OLDER NEIGHBOR MIGHT HAVE SAID SUCH A THING.

THE DEED INCLUDED A RACIALLY RESTRICTIVE COVENANT.

>> NEITHER SAID LOTS NOR ANY PORTION THEREOF SHALL EVER BE LIVED UPON OR OCCUPIED BY ANY PERSON OTHER THAN OF THE CAUCASIAN RACE PROVIDED HOWEVER THAT A PERSON IS NOT OF THE CAUCASIAN RACE BE KEPT THERE IN BY A CAUCASIAN I'M A STRICTLY IN THE CAPACITY OF SERVICE OR EMPLOYEES.

ENGAGED IN THE SERVICES OF EACH OCCUPANT OR, IN THE CARE OF SAID PREMISES FOR SAID OCCUPANT, GARDENER.

>> Reporter: FOR YEARS, HIRED HELP WAS ALL HE COULD HAVE BEEN IN THE HOME.

RACIALLY RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS WERE LEGAL DOCUMENTS ATTACHED TO DEEDS, SUBDIVISIONS AND ENTIRE DEVELOPMENTS.

THEY TOOK OFF AT THE TURN OF THE 20th CENTURY.

>> REALLY ABOUT 1927 THEY WERE ON, YOU KNOW, THREE QUARTERS OF THE NEW HOMES IN AMERICA.

HALF OF ALL HOMES.

THEY SPREAD VERY QUICKLY.

AND BECAME A DOMINANT WAY OF WHO COULD LIVE WHERE.

>> Reporter: THAT IS AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING SPECIALIST AND AUTHOR OF FREEDOM TO DISCRIMINATE.

HE SAYS REAL ESTATE BROKERS AND DEVELOPERS CREATED AND ENFORCED RACIALLY RESTRICTIVE HOUSING COVENANTS ACROSS THE NATION.

>> THE CREATED A WHOLE SYSTEM INCLUDING ALL OF THE OTHER BROKERS IN THE CITY AND THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION.

THE NEIGHBORS ASSOCIATION.

PUBLIC OFFICIALS WHO WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE CERTAIN THE CITY OR NEIGHBORHOODS WOULD REMAIN ALL WHITE.

>> Reporter: SAN DIEGO WAS AT THE FOREFRONT OF THE NATIONAL TREND.

A SAMPLE OF SAN DIEGO DEEDS FROM 1910 UNTIL 1950 FOUND EVERY SINGLE ONE HAD A RACIAL RESTRICTION.

ADVERTISEMENTS FOR SAN DIEGO PROPERTIES FROM THE EARLY 20th CENTURY ALL ALLUDE TO RACIAL RESTRICTION IS.

ONE 1910 NOW PART OF MISSION HILLS SAYS THE AREA HAS THE NECESSARY RESTRICTIONS AND IS PLANNED AND PROTECTED FOR PARTICULAR PEOPLE.

IN OTHER WORDS, WHITE AND AFFLUENCE.

BLACK, ASIAN, LATINO AND JEWISH SAN DIEGANS WERE ALL BUT LOCKED OUT OF THE CITY SIGNATURE NEIGHBORHOODS LIKE LA JOLLA, NORTHPARK AND MISSION VALLEY.

INSTEAD OF A PURPOSELY SEGREGATED INTO SOUTHEAST NEIGHBORHOODS.

IN 1948, THE SUPREME COURT STRUCK DOWN THE LEGALITY OF RACIALLY RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.

BUT, AS WE SEE WITH HOMES, THEY CONTINUED INTO THE 50s.

AS OF THE PATTERNS OF RACIAL SEGREGATION THAT THEY IN CONCERT WITH REDLINE STEERING AND ZONING CREATED.

PATTERNS THAT CONTINUE TO SHAPE SAN DIEGO TODAY.

IS NOT HARD TO SEE SAYS THE PRESIDENT OF THE CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REAL ESTATE BROKERS.

WHETHER YOU ARE AFRICAN- AMERICAN, HISPANIC OR WHITE, WE STILL USE THE INTERSTATE 8 AS THE DIVIDING MARK.

OKAY?

SO, SOUTH OF THE EIGHTS, YOU EXPECT ONE THING AND NORTH OF THE EIGHTS, YOU EXPECT SOMETHING ELSE.

>> Reporter: SAN DIEGO IS MORE SEGREGATED TODAY THAN IT WAS 30 YEARS AGO.

ACCORDING TO A RECENT UC BERKELEY STUDY.

MUCH OF THE SEGREGATION IS STILL MARKED BY INTERSTATE AID WITH MORE WEALTHY, WHITER COMMUNITIES IN THE NORTH.

AS A BLACK WOMAN FROM SAN DIEGO, HER OWN GRANDFATHER WAS IMPACTED BY HOUSING DISCRIMINATION THAT CONTINUED LOG AFTER RACIALLY RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS BECAME ILLEGAL.

>> I ALWAYS REMEMBER HIM TELLING US THAT HE LOOKED AT A HOUSE RIGHT OUTSIDE OF MISSION VALLEY ON TOP OF THE HEEL AND HE WAS TOLD HE COULD NOT PURCHASE IT.

OKAY?

SO, WHAT WOULD THAT HOME IN MISSION VALLEY BE WORTH THAT I COULD HAVE INHERITED FROM HIM COMPARED TO THE HOME THEY STEERED HIM TO BUY IN OAK PARK?

WHERE WOULD MY WEALTH BE?

>> Reporter: TODAY HOMEOWNERSHIP PLAYS A BIGGER ROLE CREATING WEALTH FOR WHITE FAMILIES AND BLACK FAMILIES AND CATS CONTINUE TO PROCESS.

ONLY 30% OF BLACK SAN DIEGANS ON THEIR HOME COMPARED TO 61% OF WHITE PEOPLE IN SAN DIEGO ACCORDING TO A 2018 REDFIN STUDY.

>> IT IS TO BE MORE EVOLUTION OF THOUGHT AS TO THE IMPACTS OF SOME OF THE RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE PAST THAT KIND OF DETERMINE WHERE YOUR SOCIOECONOMIC POSITION IS TODAY.

>> Reporter: THE HIS WIFE HE WANTS MORE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT RACIALLY RESTRICT OF COVENANTS LIKE THE ONE IN HIS OWN THE HOME IS GRANDFATHERED OVER VETERANS COULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT THE OVERT HOUSING DISCRIMINATION A FACE MAY HAVE BEEN ILLEGAL FOR DECADES.

WE STILL ARE A LONG WAY FROM UNDERSTANDING, LET ALONE UNDOING THE GENERATIONAL HARM THESE PRACTICES HAVE CAUSED.

>> Reporter: THE FACT FILMS MADE BY THE SULTANATE SLEEVES, AND THE KING OF SCHLOCK CAN BE FOUND UNDER FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT MUST DELIGHT JOHN WATERS.

HE SHOCKED AUDIENCES IN 1972 WITH PINK FLAMINGOS, AND ALL- OUT SATIRICAL ASSAULT ON MIDDLE- CLASS VALUES HE SAW AS OPPRESSIVE AND HYPOCRITICAL.

THE NO BUDGET INDIE FILM SET IN BALTIMORE STARRED DIVINE, A 300 POUND DRY QUEEN WHO BOASTS BEING THE FILTHIEST PERSON ALIVE.

>> FILTH IS MY LIFE.

>> Reporter: AND BOMBED ON THE CULTURAL WAR OF THE EARLY 70s.

WHAT MADE WATERS UNIQUE WAS THE DELIGHT HE TOOK IN HIS TRASHY OBSCENITY.

HE LOVES TO SHOCKED AUDIENCES.

BY EMBRACING HOLLYWOOD TRAPPING SUCH AS A STABLE OF STARS, STRAIGHTFORWARD NARRATIVE PLOTS AND FOCUSING ON BEING ENTERTAINING, HE EVENTUALLY FOUND MAINSTREAM SUCCESS WITH HAIRSPRAY IN 1988.

>> BALTIMORE, YOU'RE SAYING HISTORY BEING MADE TODAY.

WHITE AND BLACK TOGETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME ON LOCAL TV.

>> Reporter: THE FILM MARKED A MAJOR CROSSOVER SUCCESS FOR WATERS AND EVENTUALLY INSPIRED A MUSICAL PLAY IN 2002.

THE FORMER ARTISTIC DIRECTOR OF THE THEATER IS HELPING WITH THE TOURING MUSICAL HE NOTES STAGING THE PLAY ABOUT RACE RELATIONS SETBACK IN THE 1960s DID GIVE HIM PAUSE CONSIDERING THE CURRENT STATE OF SOCIAL UNREST.

>> I THINK IT WAS WITH A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TREPIDATION THAT WE ALL LOOKED AT THIS PIECE IN TODAY'S MARKETS WITH HYPERSENSITIVITY IN TERMS OF ROLE-PLAYING AND WHAT YOU ARE ALLOWED TO SAY AND WHAT YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SAY AND WE FOUND BASICALLY IT WAS JUST FINE.

IT IS IN FACT A VERY ACCURATE HISTORICAL REPRESENTATION OF WHAT WAS GOING ON IN 1962 FROM WHICH WE CAN THEN SEE HOW WE GOT HERE.

>> Reporter: A TIME CAPSULE THAT LOOKS AT HOW A SEGREGATED ROCK 'N ROLL SHOW LEADS TO A GROUP OF TEENAGERS PUSHING FOR CHANGE.

IT COULD NOT BE MORE CONTEMPORARY.

TRUCK WITH THE FILMS OF WATERS ARE CONTEMPORARY HOW THE CHALLENGE BEAUTY.

WE HAD A CHARACTER WHO DID NOT FEEL THAT SHE OR HER DAUGHTER HAD TO CONFORM TO ANY CONVENTIONAL NOTIONS OF BEAUTY.

AS O'BRIEN SAYS, DIVINE LEFT BIG SHOES AND A BIG BRA TO PHIL.

HE FOUND THE RIGHT PERFORMER IN ONE OF THE STARS OF THE RuPAUL DRAG RACE.

>> I THINK ANDREW AS NINA WEST, ALTHOUGH HE IS NOT PLAYING NINA WEST IN HAIRSPRAY.

I BEG YOU TO UNDERSTAND, THIS IS NOT A SPECIAL GUEST APPEARANCE BY NINA WEST.

ONE OF THE INTERESTING THINGS IN WORKING WITH ANDREW ON THIS, JERRY AND I AND ALL OF US HAVE TRIED TO EXPLAIN, IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU ARE A MAN OR A WOMAN.
