USC Report: Inequality Threatens San Diego’s Future

USC Report: Inequality Threatens San  Diego’s Future Posted: 30 Jul 2015 11:00 AM PDT By Doug Porter  A report by the University of Southern California’s Program for Environmental and Regional Equity (PERE) says long term prospects for San Diego’s economy are challenged by widespread inequality. I could dazzle you with charts and figures (and there are plenty in the report), but here’s the bottom line: the way public policy is and has been made in San Diego benefits a few at the expense of the many. Trading short term greed for long term growth would be better for the overall economy and the environment. The authors of the report point to metropolitan areas around the country where public and private entities have opted to work together on economic and environmental issues and are building platforms for sustainable growth. They also point to emerging data demonstrating that “greater economic and racial equality in regions corresponds with more robust growth in terms of employment, output, productivity, and per-capita income.”   [Read more...] shared from San Diego Free Press USC Report: Inequality Threatens San Diego’s Future SDFP Claims Eight Journo Awards for 2015 The Donald Keeps Digging Abuse of Amber Alert in San Diego?

The evening began with the acknowledgement of some of the changes that have occurred on the media scene this past year. The observation that the words "Papa Doug" have been uncoupled from references to the Union Tribune was accompanied with applause-- and laughter. SPJ President Matt Hall noted that the Voice of San Diego has turned ten and that the San Diego Free Press celebrated its third anniversary. But the changes noted weren't solely about staying power. The San Diego Daily Transcript which began publishing in 1885 is closing its doors after a hundred and thirty year run. Journalism and the media platforms which provide it continue to be at an existential crossroads that tests their relevancy, independence and solvency.   [Read more...]     The Donald Keeps Digging Posted: 30 Jul 2015 08:13 AM PDT     Abuse of Amber Alert in San Diego? Posted: 30 Jul 2015 08:11 AM PDT Late Monday night I had turned on the Jon Stewart Daily Show to watch, but by midnightI was dozing and had leaned all the way over on the couch. Suddenly, I could tell that the TV image changed - and a sharp and loud buzzer sound went off - 3 or 4 times. It was so loud, it rousted me -something awful was about to happen - it must be some kind of emergency - my mind raced. Are missiles coming? I wondered ... but no, that image quickly faded - then I imagined hearing the roar of flood waters cascading down the mountains after some dam had broke, but no, maybe it was an eminent earthquake warning. My heart start beating faster, my anxiety level shot way up. WTF? What on earth is going on?   [Read more...]     Creative Tornado Known as the Fringe Festival Comes to San Diego Posted: 30 Jul 2015 07:44 AM PDT Affordable prices, no holds barred subject treatment and engaged audiences By Mukul Khurana If you were asked to describe what Fringe Festival was about, you might say that it’s an art festival that fosters genres as diverse as dance, drama, comedy, music, buskers and more. With a strong focus on artists, creativity, and community, the San Diego International Fringe Festival is a progressive undertaking (and as the name states, it has an international scope). But you would be missing the point. On the opening day of the 2015 San Diego International Fringe Festival (SDIFF) on Thursday the 23rd of July, you would have witnessed the return of the 2014 SDIFF award winner Jack Lukeman. Hailing from Dublin, Ireland, Luke would have seduced you with his smooth accent and beautiful music. He presented Phantasmagoria as songs of “wickedness and wonder.”   [Read more...]
