>>> HOMELESS SERVICE PROVIDERS ARE RESPONDING TO THE STATE AUDITOR'S REPORT.

THANKS FOR JOINING US.

I AM MAYA TRABULSI BRING THE DEEP DIVE WAS RELEASED THIS WEEK.

METRO PORTER ANDREW BOWEN HAS MORE ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS AND REACTION .

>> Reporter: HOMELESSNESS HAS GONE UP IN RECENT YEARS AND THE AUDITOR ACKNOWLEDGES THE MAIN REASON IS THE LACK OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING AFFORDABLE HOUSING WAS NOT THE FOCUS OF THE AUDITOR'S REPORT INSTEAD IT LOOKS AT THE PROGRAMS TO MANAGE THE HOMELESSNESS CRISIS.

THE BIG CONCLUSION, SAN DIEGO SHOULD CENTRALIZE IN ONE ANNUAL REPORT ALL THE SPENDING IT DOES ON HOMELESSNESS RELIEF PROGRAMS.

SO IT CAN BETTER TRACK THEIR EFFECTIVENESS.

HE IS THE REGIONAL DIRECTOR FOR PEOPLE ASSISTING THE HOMELESS.

THE NONPROFIT OPERATES THE COORDINATED STREET OUTREACH PROGRAM.

THE GOAL IS TO GET PEOPLE READY FOR PLACEMENT IN PERMANENT HOUSING AS SOON AS IT IS AVAILABLE AND JUST TO HELP THEM SURVIVE.

>> IT FOCUSES ON TRYING TO MEET PEOPLE'S BASIC HUMAN NEEDS, LIKE OUR OUTREACH TEAMS HAVE WATER, FOOD BLANKETS AND CLOTHING.

AND FIRST AID KITS ON THEM SO BUT AS YOU ENCOUNTER PEOPLE, YOU CAN REALLY START WITH THE BUILDING TRUST BY MEETING THEIR BASIC HUMAN NEEDS.

>> Reporter: BUILDING TRUST IS NOT SOMETHING THAT IS EASY TO QUANTIFY.

P.A.T.H.

DOES COLLECT AND REPORT DATA ON HOW MANY PEOPLE IT REACHES HOW OFTEN THEY ARE REFERRED TO SHELTER, MEDICAL CARE OR HOUSING.

THE LACK OF HOUSING IS THE REAL REASON WHY MORE PEOPLE ARE NOT GETTING OFF THE STREET.

SAYS REBECCA LUI, PRESIDENT OF THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING NONPROFIT, WAKELAND HOUSING.

SHE TOLD KPBS , QUOTE, EVERYONE WANTS TO BLAME HOMELESSNESS ON EVERYTHING BUT THE EXTREME SHORTAGE OF HOUSING THAT LOW INCOME PEOPLE CAN AFFORD.

I DO NOT THINK WAR REPORTING IS GOING TO MOVE THE DIAL IN FACT, IT JUST RESULTS IN LESS FOCUS ON THE ACTUAL PEOPLE BEING SERVED.

CITY OFFICIALS AGREED WITH THE AUDITORS RECOMMENDATION TO PUT ALL ITS HOMELESSNESS SPENDING IN ONE ANNUAL REPORT.

IT ALSO AGREES THAT MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS THE BEST WAY TO END HOMELESSNESS.

THEY CONTINUE TO COMPARE PRICES TO PRE-COVID OR TWO OR THREE YEARS AGO.

>> THE THINGS WE PAY FOR OUTSIDE THE GROCERY STORE ALSO AFFECT THE MONEY WE HAVE LEFT TO SPEND ON GROCERIES.

IF WE SPEND MORE ON GASOLINE, IF OUR AUTO INSURANCE BECOMES MORE EXPENSIVE, IF OUR HOUSING BECOMES MORE EXPENSIVE.

>> Reporter: GAS PRICES TICKED UP 1.7% FROM FEBRUARY TO MARCH AND THE COST OF AUTO INSURANCE WAS UP 2.6% LAST MONTH, UP A WHOPPING 22% FROM YEAR AGO.

>>> STATE FARM, THE LARGEST INSURER IN CALIFORNIA ANNOUNCED THE Z.I.P.

CODES WHERE IT WILL DISCONTINUE HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR 30,000 HOMEOWNERS ACROSS THE STATE WILL BE IMPACTED BUT STATE FARM BLAMES AN INCREASED RISK OF WILDFIRES, OUTDATED REGULATIONS AND HIGHER COSTS AS REASONS IT WILL NOT RENEW POLICIES.

THOSE WHO LOSE INSURANCE MAY HAVE TO JOIN THE CALIFORNIA PEAR PLAN.

INSURANCE BROKER, COLORS -- CARL SUE SMITH SAYS BESIDES BEING EXPENSIVE, THE PROGRAM HAS BECOME OVERWHELMED WITH APPLICANTS.

>> WHEN I SAY THEY HAVE FEW CHOICES, I AM BEING KIND SOME MAY HAVE NO CHOICES, IF THEY ARE TOO LARGE FOR CALIFORNIA FAIR PLAN, THEY WILL HAVE TO TALK WITH A BROKER TO GET A POLICY THAT CAN BE THROUGH LLOYD'S OF LONDON BUT WE COULD BE $50,000 A YEAR, OUTRAGEOUS.

THE ISSUE HITS CLOSE TO HOME.

SEVERAL FAMILY MEMBERS SUFFER HEART ATTACKS AND STROKES.

BEING ABLE TO GO OUT AND MEET PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE, HELPS TO RAISE AWARENESS IN THE MOST IMPACTFUL WAY.

>> Reporter: HYPERTENSION OR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE INCREASES THE RISK OF HEART DISEASE AFFECTING THREE OUT OF FOUR BLACK ADULTS BY MIDDLE-AGE.

HEART DISEASE IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH AMONG BLACK SAN DIEGO COUNTY RESIDENTS.

ARTHUR ALLEN GREW UP GOING TO BARBERSHOPS HE BELIEVES THERE SAFE PLACE TO TALK TO BLACK MEN ABOUT HEALTH.

>>> HILLCREST HAS BEEN A HAVEN FOR THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY .

OVER THE PAST COUPLE YEARS, THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS BEEN GROWING RAPIDLY.

KPBS METRO REPORTER ANDREW BOWEN SAYS SITTING -- CITY PLANNING OFFICIALS ARE TRYING TO HAVE NEW PROTECTIONS FOR LGBTQ NIGHTLIFE.

>> OUR SPRING DECORATIONS ARE UP.

WE HAVE A LOT OF BUTTERFLIES AND EASTER RABBITS.

>> Reporter: BRIAN JENNINGS IS THE CO-OVER OF NUMBER 1/5 AVENUE, ONE OF THE OLDEST BARS.

IT IS COZY AND ALWAYS HAS SOME DECOR HANGING FROM THE STEALING -- CEILING.

>> WE HAVE A DIFFERENT THEME AND WE ARE WELL KNOWN FOR OUR HOLIDAY AND CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS.

>> Reporter: IT ALSO HAS A BACK PATIO THAT HOSES KARAOKE, DANCE PARTIES AND DRAG SHOWS GETS NOISY LATE AT NIGHT AND THAT IS LIKELY TO CAUSE ISSUES WITH A BRAND-NEW SEVEN STORY APARTMENT BUILDING NEXT DOOR.

16 BALCONIES OPEN DIRECTLY ONTO THE PATIO.

>> THE DEVELOPER ACTUALLY APPROACHED US AND MADE US AN OFFER TO SELL THE BAR TO THEM AS WELL AS THE REAL ESTATE AT A FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT PROFIT IN ORDER TO INCORPORATE INTO THE DEVELOPMENT.

>> Reporter: JENNYS WAS NOT INTERESTED BUT HE BOUGHT THE BAR IN 2019 TO ENSURE THE PRESERVATION AS THE NEIGHBORHOOD CONTINUES TO GROW.

HE KNEW ONLY A NOISY BUSINESS WAS A RECIPE FOR CONFLICT.

WHAT WE ARE DOING, WE ARE TRYING TO BUILD A STRUCTURE THAT WILL MAKE SURE THAT OUR SOUND IS CONTAINED AND WE CAN STILL CONTINUE TO COEXIST NEXT- DOOR.

IT WILL COST US SEVERAL HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS TO DO THIS.

THIS IS ONE OF THE LARGEST INVESTMENTS THAT THIS BAR HAS EVER SEEN IN HISTORY.

WE ARE TAKING A BIG RISK BUT WE LEAVE WE CAN MAKE IT WORK.

>> Reporter: THERE WAS A NEW DRAFT OF THE LONG-TERM GROWTH PLAN.

THEY ARE TRYING TO CAPITALIZE ON THE NEIGHBORHOODS WALK ABILITY AND PROXIMITY TO PUBLIC TRANSIT AND MAJOR EMPLOYERS LIKE HOSPITALS.

THE PLAN WOULD ALLOW A LOT MORE HOUSING, EVEN HIGH RISES AS LONG AS THE INCLUDED NEW PUBLIC GATHERING SPACES, LIKE MANY PARKS AND PAUSES.

>> THE FUTURE IS IN URBAN DEVELOPMENT.

>> Reporter: SUSAN JESTER IS A LONGTIME ACTIVIST AND HAS BEEN A FAVORITE IN HILLCREST FOR DECADES PART OF THE BARS ARE MORE THAN JUST PLACES TO GO DRINKING, THEY ARE A REFUGE.

>> I CANNOT GO DOWN TO THE GASLAMP OR ANYWHERE ELSE IN TOWN TO DANCE WITH MY PARTNER IN 1980 BUT I COULD COME HERE.

THE SAME THING WITH MORNING ALOFT OR ORGANIZING A COMMUNITY, IT IS SACRED GROUND TO US.

WE WANT TO KEEP IT NOT JUST FOR US AND THE HISTORY GOING FORWARD SO THAT YOUNG GAY PEOPLE AND YOUNG LGBTQ PEOPLE COME HERE AND CONTINUE TO FEEL THIS IS A SAFE AND PROTECTED SPOT FOR THEM.

>> Reporter: SHE GOT INVOLVED IN PLANNING THE FUTURE OF HILLCREST AS THE CITY WAS DEVELOPING AND LGBTQ CULTURAL DISTRICT.

IT CALLS FOR PUBLIC ART HONORING THE COMMUNITY'S HISTORY HERE AND IT REQUIRES LANDLORDS OF NEW APARTMENTS TO DISCLOSE TO THEIR TENANTS THAT THIS IS AN LGBTQ NEIGHBORHOOD WITH AN ACTIVE NIGHTLIFE LEGACY BUSINESSES ALSO GET FIRST DIBS ON NEW COMMERCIAL SPACES, IF THE PROPERTY GETS REDEVELOPED.

>> SOME OF THE NEW DEVELOPMENTS, I CAN AFFORD A STUDIO AND SOME ARE NOTHING AT ALL DEPENDING ON HOW NICE IT IS BEEN >> Reporter: JOHN ANDERSON IS A RENTER IN HILLCREST TO IS ALSO BEEN ADVOCATING AROUND THE GROWTH PLANS .

HE SAYS WHILE HE MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD THE BRAND-NEW APARTMENTS, SOMEONE ELSE CAN AND NEW HOUSING CAN RELIEVE THE DEMAND FOR HILLCREST OVER THE OLDER HOMES THAT ARE MORE AFFORDABLE.

>> I AM A ONE BEDROOM IN A HISTORIC OLDER HOME THAT WAS BUILT IN THE '40s.

I CAN AFFORD THAT COMFORTABLY BUT WHEN I WENT TO RENEW, THERE WAS ENOUGH OTHER VACANT UNITS IN MY BUILDING AND THEY TRIED TO RAISE MY RENT.

I ASKED THEM NOT TO AND THEY DIDN'T.

>> Reporter: ANDERSON HEARS THE ANXIETY THAT SOME OF HIS NEIGHBORS HAVE AROUND THE CURRENT GROWTH SPURT.

A LOT OF IT IS ROOTED IN CONCERNS ABOUT TRAFFIC.

HE SAYS THAT IS WHY THE CITY WANTS TO BUILD UP THE BIKE, PEDESTRIAN AND TRANSIT NETWORK, SO IT IS EASIER TO LIVE CAR FREE, LIKE HE DOES.

>> IF YOU BUILD THE HIGH RISES AND YOU HAVE THE TRANSPORTATION NETWORK, AS IT IS PROPOSED, PEOPLE WILL MOVE HERE AND THEY WON'T BRING A CAR OR MIGHT ONLY BRING ONE CAR.

THAT IS GOING TO BE WHAT ALLOWS THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO RETAIN THE CHARM THAT IT HAS NOW, I THINK, WHILE STILL BRINGING MORE PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO AFFORD TO LIVE HERE.

>> Reporter: THE PUBLIC HAS UNTIL APRIL 29th TO COMMENT ON THE GROWTH PLANS FOR HILLCREST.

IS EXPECTED TO GO BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL SOMETIME THIS SUMMER.

ANDREW BOWEN, KPBS NEWS .

>>> A FEDERAL JUDGE IN SAN DIEGO HAS BANNED THE USE OF EXCITED DELIRIUM IN A POLICE MISCONDUCT TRIAL.

THE MEDICAL THEORY HAS BEEN DISPROVEN AS AN EXPLANATION FOR WHEN SOMEONE DIES IN CUSTODY.

STATE LAWMAKERS MADE IT ILLEGAL TO USE THE TERM AS A CAUSE OF DEATH IN CALIFORNIA.

COREY SUZUKI JOINS ME NOW TO DISCUSS THE DECISION.

WE WILL BE PLAYING SOME POLICE BODY CAMERA FOOTAGE THAT COULD BE DISTURBING TO SOME VIEWERS.

WELCOME, COREY.

LET US START WITH EXCITED DELIRIUM.

TELL US WHAT THIS THEORY IS AND WHY IS IT NOW BANNED IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AS A CAUSE OF DEATH?

>> Reporter: EXCITED DELIRIUM IS SOMETHING THAT POLICE AND OTHER FIRST RESPONDERS HAVE BEEN USING FOR A LONG TIME TO DESCRIBE PEOPLE WHO DIE SUDDENLY IN POLICE CUSTODY .

SPECIFICALLY THE TERM HAS BEEN USED TO DESCRIBE PEOPLE WHO EXPERIENCE AGITATION.

SOMETIMES RELATED TO PEOPLE WHO ARE EXPERIENCING MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS OR WHO HAVE BEEN USING DRUGS AND THAT ABRUPTLY DIE AND ARE RESTRAINED BY POLICE.

LEADING MEDICAL ORGANIZATIONS IN RECENT YEARS HAVE COME OUT AND SAID THAT THIS DIAGNOSIS HAS NO SCIENTIFIC FOUNDATION.

IT IS NOT BASED ON RESEARCH.

IT IS MORE A LOOSE COLLECTION OF DIFFERENT SYMPTOMS THAT SERVE AS AN OVERARCHING TERM BUT HAS NO REAL MEANING.

IT IS ALSO, ADDITIONALLY, DISPROPORTIONALLY USED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT TO DESCRIBE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN BLACK MEN OR OTHER PEOPLE OF COLOR DIE IN POLICE CUSTODY.

THESE ORGANIZATIONS SAY THAT LAW-ENFORCEMENT SHOULD NOT BE USING THE TERM.

>> WHY IS THIS COMING BACK NOW TO SAN DIEGO?

>> Reporter: THIS IS COMING UP BECAUSE OF A LAWSUIT THAT THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA IS FACING.

THIS GOES BACK FOUR YEARS TO A MAN IN CUSTODY THAT HAPPENED DURING -- WHILE SOMEONE WAS BEHELD BY CHULA VISTA POLICE IN MARCH OF 2020.

THAT MAN WAS NAMED OR DOMINGUEZ.

HE WAS A BUSINESS OWNER FROM CALIFORNIA.

HE OWNED A TRUCKING COMPANY NEAR STOCKTON BUT HE WAS IN TOWN TO VISIT HIS DAUGHTER WHO LIVED IN CHULA VISTA.

THAT EVENING, IN AN EVENING IN MARCH, HE STARTED EXPENSE A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS AND HIS DAUGHTER WORRIED ABOUT HIS SAFETY AND CALLED 911 TO GET HELP FROM POLICE.

WHEN OFFICERS ARRIVED, THEY RESTRAINED HIM AND USED WHAT HIS FAMILY MEMBERS ALLEGE ARE VIOLENT METHODS.

THEY USED UNLAWFUL FORCE AND WHEN PARAMEDICS ARRIVED, THEY FOUND THAT HE HAD STOPPED BREATHING.

WHAT HAPPENED NEXT WAS THAT THE COUNTY MEDICAL EXAMINER, THEY DID AN AUTOPSY ON HIS BODY AND THEY FOUND -- THEY CANNOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF DEATH.

THEY SAID THAT HE HAD LIKELY DIED DUE TO EXCITED DELIRIUM.

THIS WAS BEFORE CALIFORNIA PASSED THE LAW.

IT WAS A CAUSE OF DEATH THAT THEY COULD STILL REFERENCE.

THAT WAS WHAT THEY RELIED ON.

>> CAN YOU TELL US WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THAT?

>> THE FAMILY DISAGREED WITH THE POLICE VERSION OF EVENTS.

THEY SAID THE POLICE HAD USED UNLAWFUL FORCE AND HAD VIOLATED THE CIVIL RIGHTS AND TARGET HIM BECAUSE HE WAS BLACK.

THEY FILED A SUIT AGAINST THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA.

THEY ASKED THE JUDGE IN THE SUIT TO REMOVE ALL MENTIONS OF EXCITED DELIRIUM FROM THE TRIAL.

LASTLY, THIS FEDERAL JUDGE SIDED WITH THEM AND SAID THAT THAT WOULD BE HOW THE TROUT WOULD BE PROCEEDING WITHOUT ANY MENTIONS OF THIS CONTROVERSIAL MEDICAL TERM.

>> HOW WILL THE EXCITED DELIRIUM THEORY FIT INTO ALL OF THIS?

>> Reporter: I THINK THAT REMAINS TO BE SEEN AT THIS POINT.

CALIFORNIA WAS THE FIRST TO PASS THIS NATIONAL BAN ON EXCITED DELIRIUM.

OTHER STATES ARE NOW CONSIDERING THIS.

I THINK WHAT HAPPENS, EXACTLY IN THIS TRIAL, WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE.

I THINK ONE PERSON I SPOKE TO FOR THE STORY WAS MIKE GIBSON, WHO INTRODUCED CALIFORNIA'S BAN ON THE USE OF THE TERM AS A MEDICAL TERM, AS A CAUSE OF DEATH.

HE SAID THAT THIS IS ONE STEP CLOSER TO ALLOWING THE FAMILY TO FIND OUT THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED NOW THAT THIS TERM IS NOT GOING TO BE C.A.R.T.

OF THE CASE.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, COREY.

>> Reporter: THANKS.
