BIGGER THAN ANYTHING WE HAVE EVER DONE.

>> Reporter: AMONG THE MANY PROVISIONS, THE BUILD BACK BETTER ACT WOULD CREATE A UNIVERSAL PRE-K PROGRAM, EXTEND THE CHILD TAX CREDIT AND EXPAND ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE, AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND CARE FOR SENIORS AND PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES.

DEMOCRATS OF THESE ITEMS ARE URGENTLY NEEDED BY REPUBLICANS DECRIED THE REGULATIONS AS RECKLESS PENDING.

>> IT IS A PATHWAY TO SOCIALISM.

>> Reporter: THE VOTE CAME AFTER AN OVERLAY DELAY IN WHICH HOUSE MINORITY LEADER KEVIN McCARTHY SPOKE TO MORE IN A HALF HOURS TRYING TO STALL ACTION ON THE FLOOR.

SPEAKER PELOSI WITH EVEN MORE RADICAL POLICIES INTO A PARTISAN BILL.

IT COST TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

WE DO NOT HAVE.

FOR GOVERNMENT RUN PROGRAMS, NOBODY WANTS.

>> Reporter: THE IN A STATEMENT, PRESIDENT BIDEN APPLIED OF THE HOUSE PASSAGE CALLING IT A GIANT STEP FORWARD FOR HIS AGENDA.

THE BILL FACES A TOUGH ROAD AHEAD IN THE SENATE WERE MAJOR CHANGES ARE EXPECTED.

>> WHATEVER COMES OUT OF THE SENATE WILL BE WORKING TOGETHER WITH THEM SO WE HAVE AGREEMENT WHEN IT COMES BACK TO.

>>> THE PRESIDENT'S BUILD BACK BETTER PLAN CALLS FOR A SIGNIFICANT CHUNK OF MONEY FOR CLEAN ENERGY AND CLIMATE CHANGE.

ERIC ANDERSON HAS DETAILS.

>> Reporter: TAXPAYERS INVESTING IN ROOFTOP, SOLAR, OR ELECTRIC CARS COULD BE GETTING SIGNIFICANT HELP FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

EFFECT, THE NEARLY $2 TRILLION PACKAGE WOULD INVEST MORE THAN $550 BILLION IN POLICIES AIMED AT CURBING CLIMATE CHANGE.

>> THE WAY THAT WE MOVE GOODS AND MOVE PEOPLE AND BUILD BUILDINGS AND GROW FOOD AND GENERATE ELECTRICITY, ALL OF THAT WILL BE IMPACTED AND IMPROVED.

GI GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS REDUCED.

>> Reporter: THE BILL EXTENDS EXISTING TAX CREDITS FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY ANOTHER 10 YEARS.

>> THE TYPES OF INCENTIVES WE NEED TO REALLY GET ROLLING WITH MORE ELECTRIC VEHICLES AND SOLAR AND BATTERIES SYSTEMS.

>> Reporter: THE HOPE IS THAT RENEWABLE ENERGY WILL CUT GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS IN HALF BY 20/30.

ALL OF THE SAN DIEGO DEMOCRATIC REPRESENTATIVE SUPPORTED THE PACKAGE BECAUSE THEY SAY IT WILL BE TRANSFORMATIONAL.

>> I DO NOT THINK WE HAD OVER $100 BILLION FOR CLIMATE RESILIENCE AND CLIMATE COURSE SO WE CAN MAKE SURE WE ARE ADDRESSING DROUGHT AND FLOODS AND CREATE 300,000 JOBS WITH CLIMATE CORPS.

>> Reporter: THEY VOTED NO ON THE BILL AND SAYS IT DOESN'T FIX THE NATIONS ENERGY OR BORDER ISSUES.

IT DOESN'T ERASE THE NATIONS TAX BURDEN.

JACOBS IS THE PLAN WILL PAY OFF.

>> I BELIEVE THAT BECAUSE OF THE INVESTMENTS WE ARE MAKING IT WILL ACTUALLY REDUCE THE DEFICIT OVER THE LONG-TERM EVEN MORE THAN ESTIMATED BECAUSE WE KNOW WITH EVERY DOLLAR YOU SPEND ADDRESSING CHILDHOOD POVERTY NOW YOU ACTUALLY SAVE SEVEN DOLLARS DOWN THE ROAD.

>> Reporter: HOUSE LEADERS WILL WORK WITH THE SENATE TO KEEP THE PLAN INTACT.

>>> BOOSTERS FOR EVERYONE 18 AND OLDER.

TODAY, THE CDC MADE IT OFFICIAL, AUTHORIZING THIRD DOSE IS FROM PFIZER AND MODERNA.

TOP U.S. HEALTH OFFICIALS SAY AN ADDITIONAL DOSES NEEDED SINCE THERE HAS BEEN AN UPTICK IN COVID-19 HOSPITALIZATIONS AMONG VACCINATED PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT HAD BOOSTERS, ESPECIALLY THOSE 65 AND OLDER.

CALIFORNIA RECENTLY EXPANDED BOOSTER SHOTS TO ALL FULLY VACCINATED ADULTS.

>>> THE SAN DIEGO VACCINATION MANDATE GATHERED AT BALBOA PARK TODAY CALLING FOR THE MAYOR TO RECONSIDER DISMISSING EMPLOYEES WHO WILL NOT COMPLY BY THE DECEMBER 1st DEADLINE.

THEY CLAIM THEY ARE SUPPORTING LOCAL FIRST RESPONDERS BUT, KITTY ALVARADO GOT A DIFFERENT STORY FROM THE HEAD OF THE FIREFIGHTERS UNION.

>> Reporter: HEY, EVERYBODY IT IS TODD.

>> Reporter: IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE WORKING FOR THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO, YOU MUST BE FULLY VACCINATED OR, HAVE A VALID EXEMPTION BY DECEMBER 1st.

IN A PRESS RELEASE ISSUED FRIDAY MORNING, HE EMPHASIZED MANDATES ARE NECESSARY TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC AND EMPLOYEES WHO REGULARLY INTERACT WITH THEM.

THE POLICE HAVE FIRE DEPARTMENTS CONTINUE TO HAVE SOME OF THE HIGHEST NUMBERS OF VACCINATED EMPLOYEES.

NEARLY 37% AND MORE THAN 60% OF SAN DIEGO FIRE AND RESCUE.

>> WE HAVE TO REMEMBER, WE GO INTO PEOPLES HOMES WHO ARE NOT HEALTHY.

WHO ARE VERY SUSCEPTIBLE TO DISEASE AND ILLNESS AND IF NOT FOR OURSELVES, THEN FOR THE PUBLIC AND FOR OUR FAMILIES WE ENCOURAGE FIREFIGHTERS TO GET THE VACCINE FOR COVID.

>> Reporter: THAT IS JESSE CONNOR THE PRESIDENT OF LOCAL 145 REPRESENTING THE CITY FIREFIGHTERS.

HE SAYS THEY SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGE THE VACCINE.

AFTER ALL, THE EVEN HELP VACCINATE MEN IN THE CITY.

>> WE ENCOURAGE THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF PRECAUTIONS AVAILABLE TO US.

IT IS THE SAME AS THE BREATHING APPARATUS WE WEAR OR TURNOUT THAT WE ARE.

>> Reporter: THE UNITS AS IT WILL FOLLOW THE LINE SUPPORT EXCEPTIONS FOR RELIGIOUS AND MEDICAL REASONS.

>> I KNOW FOLKS FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS VIOLATED BUT WE CHECKED WITH SEVERAL EXPERIENCED ATTORNEYS AND NO THAT'S TO NOT BE ACCURATE.

FORTUNATELY, THE CONSTITUTION DOES NOT GUARANTEE RIGHTS TO WORK FOR THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO.

IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO COMPLY WITH MULTIPLE OPTIONS OF THE CITY GIVING YOU, I CANNOT HELP YOU.

THAT IS YOUR PERSONAL DECISION.

>> Reporter: HE SAYS LATELY THE MESSAGE IS GETTING HIJACKED BY A MINORITY THAT WILL NOT COMPLY OR TAKE PRECAUTIONS AND WORSE, HE SAYS FIREFIGHTERS FROM OTHER DEPARTMENTS ARE SHOWING UP AT RALLIES CLAIMING TO REPRESENT SAN DIEGO FIREFIGHTERS.

>> I THINK THAT IT IS, YOU KNOW, ABSOLUTELY APPALLING THAT THEY ARE REPRESENTING THEMSELVES AS SAN DIEGO CITY FIREFIGHTERS TO THAT IS NOT TRUE.

I DON'T LIKE THEY ARE FEAR MONGERING.

>> Reporter: HE SAYS FIREFIGHTERS WANT TO GET PAST COVID TOO AND THE MISSION WILL NEVER WAVER.

>> WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO PROVIDE THE REST SERVICE TO THE CITIZENS OF SAN DIEGO AND WILL DO THAT, YOU KNOW, ARBOR HONORABLY.

>>> A POTENTIAL LEGAL SETBACK FOR ANYONE TRYING TO FIGHT THE COVID VACCINATION MENDED IN THE SAN DIEGO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT.

A JUDGE HAS RULES AGAINST THE FAMILY OF A 16-YEAR-OLD FEMALE STUDENT AT SCRIPPS RANCH HIGH SCHOOL CLAIMING A RELIGIOUS EXCEPTION TO KEEP HER FROM HAVING TO GET VACCINATED.

THE JUDGE DENIED HER REQUEST SAYING THERE WAS NO PROOF OF IRREPARABLE DAMAGE FROM THE VACCINE AND NO PRECEDENT OF OTHER CASES LIKE HERS.

THE DISTRICT DOES NOT ALLOW RELIGIOUS OR PERSONAL BELIEF EXEMPTIONS, ONLY MEDICAL EXCEPTIONS.

>>> NEW RULES FOR AIR QUAILTY SUPPOSED TO BE IMPOSED ON SPORTFISHING BOATS A DAY.

TONYA THORNE TELLS US THERE IS AN EXTENSION.

>> Reporter: SPORT FISHING BOAT OWNERS WERE EXPECTING A VOTE ON AIR QUALITY REGULATIONS THEY SAY COULD PUTS MANY BOATS OUT OF BUSINESS.

THE CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES BOARD IS PROPOSING THE REGULATIONS TO IMPROVE AIR QUALITY.

THEY WANT BOAT OWNERS TO UPGRADE TO NEWER LESS POLLUTING ENGINES.

ENGINES THAT CAN'T BE INSTALLED IN MANY OF THE OLDER BOATS.

>> THE OBVIOUS ASK IS, LET'S COME UP WITH A PATH THAT PEOPLE CAN COMPLY WITH.

THAT IS LOGICAL AND REASONABLE.

>> Reporter: THE PRESIDENT OF THE SPORTFISHING ASSOCIATION HAVE BEEN FIGHTING FOR A COMPROMISE.

HE SAYS THERE ARE ONLY A COUPLE HUNDRED SPORT FISHING BOAT STATEWIDE.

THE COALITION FOR CLEAN AIR SAYS THE REGULATIONS WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

>> WHAT IS REALLY STRIKING IS THAT THE POLLUTION FROM ONE SPORTFISHING BOAT CAN IN THE POLLUTION FROM 162 DIESEL SCHOOL BUSES.

>> Reporter: HE SAYS NO INDUSTRY LIKES TO BE REGULATED BUT THE PRIMARY GOALS ARE PUBLIC HEALTH AND ZERO EMISSIONS.

>> THE PROBLEM IS THAT ALL OF THE POLLUTERS NEED TO CLEAN UP IN ORDER FOR US TO SOLVE THIS SEVERE AIR POLLUTION PROBLEM.

>> Reporter: HE FEARS IF REGULATIONS ARE PASSED, MOM-AND- POP SHOPS WILL CLOSE, TOUR PRICES WILL DOUBLE AND OCEAN ACCESS WILL BECOME A LUXURY.

>> FOLKS WITH THE BOATS, LOTS DO NOT HAVE, THEY ARE NOT RICH, THEY DON'T OWN THEIR OWN BOAT.

THIS IS THE ONLY WAY THEY GET TO TAKE THE KIDS OUT FISHING.

ON A HALF-DAY BOAT OR WHATEVER.

THIS RAISES PRICES BY DOUBLE.

THAT ENDS THE AXIS TO THE OCEAN.

THAT IS RUN.

>> Reporter: RESOURCES WILL KEEP TAKING PUBLIC COMMENTS AND ARE EXPECTED TO VOTE IN THE SPRING.

TONYA THORNE, KPBS NEWS.

>>> ALONG NEWPORT AVENUE AND OCEAN BEACH MORE THAN 100 YEARS.

A NUMBER OF PUMP TRIMS MAY BE COMING TO YOU BEFORE LONG.

THE AIRPORT AUTHORITY SAYS THEY ARE OR COULD BECOME A HAZARD TO APPROACHING AIRPLANES.

JOHN CARROLL TALKED TO NEIGHBORS TO SAY THE TREE SHOULD STAY RIGHT WHERE THEY ARE.

>> Reporter: IT IS A QUINTESSENTIALLY SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SEEN.

THE POLLEN TREES LINING NEWPORT AVENUE FROM THE OCEAN UP TO THE TOP OF THE STREET HAVE BEEN HERE SINCE BEING PLANTED IN THE EARLY PART OF THE LAST CENTURY.

>> WE FIRST RECEIVED A LETTER THAT WAS DATED OCTOBER 8.

WE DID NOT RECEIVE A LETTER UNTIL OCTOBER 14th.

>> Reporter: THE LETTER CAME FROM THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY REGIONAL AIRPORT AUTHORITY.

IT'S SAID THAT TWO PALM TREES, ONE IN FRONT OF THEIR HOUSE AND WHEN ACROSS THE STREET WOULD HAVE TO BE REMOVED BECAUSE THEY POSE OR WOULD SOON POSE A THREAT TO AIRPLANES WHEN THEY LED FROM THE WEST.

SHE SOON LEARNED IT WAS NOT JUST THOSE TWO TREES.

>> SOME OTHER NEIGHBORS RECEIVED THESE NOTICES ALSO WITH A MAP WITH THE TREES IN FRONT OF THEIR HOUSE ALSO.

>> Reporter: THE CITY MANAGED TO CUT OFF THE TOP OF ONE OF THE TREES AT THE TOP OF NEWPORT AVENUE.

THEORETICALLY, THEY WOULD HAVE JUST KEPT RIGHT ON GOING BUT, NEIGHBORS GOT INVOLVED.

THEN SHE SPRANG INTO ACTION FOLLOWING CITY CREWS AROUND STANDING UNDER TREE SHE THOUGHT THEY WERE ABOUT TO CUT.

>> THEY HAD TO STOP BECAUSE THEY CAN'T CUT A TREE WITH ME STANDING UNDERNEATH A.

>> Reporter: AT THE SAME TIME SHE WAS PROTECTING THE TREE, SHE WAS ALSO TRYING TO GET ANSWERS FROM THE AIRPORT AUTHORITY FROM THE CITY.

SHE SAYS THAT HAS BEEN A FRUSTRATING EXPERIENCE.

>> WE ASKED FOR REPORTS AND WHAT THEY ARE USING FOR THIS AND WE WERE JUST GETTING A RUN AROUND BACK AND FORTH WITH NO ONE HAVING ANY INFORMATION FOR US.

>> Reporter: WE REACHED OUT TO THE AIRPORT AUTHORITY OF THE CITY, BOTH ISSUED STATEMENTS, ONE FOR THE AIRPORT.

THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO OWNED PALM TREES LOCATED IN THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY ADJACENT TO THE NEIGHBORING HOMES EXCEEDING OR WILL SOON EXCEED ACCEPTABLE ELEVATIONS UNDER FEDERAL STANDARDS.

THEY INTRUDE INTO THE AIRSPACE THAT SURROUNDS THE AIRPORT.

THIS FROM THE CITY AGAIN JUST A PORTION OF THE OVERALL STATEMENT.

THERE CURRENTLY IS NO DATE FOR REMOVAL OF THE PALMS AND WE ARE ENGAGING WITH THE FDA AND THE SAN DIEGO AIRPORT SO WE WILL RECEIVE CLEAR DIRECTION ON WHY REMOVAL IS NECESSARY AND THE EXPECTED IMPACT FOR FIGHTS IN PUBLIC SAFETY IF THE TREES ARE NOT REMOVED.

IF IT CAN BE SHOWN TREES REALLY ARE AN AVIATION HAZARD, SHE WILL NOT STAND IN THE WAY REMOVING THEM.

FOR NOW, AT LEAST, THE VISTA WILL STAY THE WAY IT LOOKED FOR DECADES.

JOHN CARROLL, KPBS NEWS.

>>> LIGHTNING SPARKED WILDFIRES TAKING A STAGGERING TOLL ON THE WORLD LARGEST TREES.

SEQUOIA NATIONAL PARK RELEASED NEW ESTIMATES TODAY SHOWING NEARLY 10,000 GIANT SEQUOIAS HAVE BEEN KILLED IN THE LAST TWO YEARS.

THAT IS BETWEEN 13 AND 19% OF THE GIANT TREES NATIVE TO THE SIERRA NEVADA MOUNTAINS.

SEQUOIAS WERE ONCE CONSIDERED NEARLY FIREPROOF BUT FIRES HAVE BECOME MORE SEVERE WITH DROUGHTS BROUGHT ON BY CLIMATE CHANGE.

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

WE BRIEFLY KICK INTO OFFSHORE FLOW HEADING INTO SUNDAY WHICH MEANS MILDER TIMES STILL AHEAD OF US AS WE CLOSE OUT THE WEEKEND.

THERE IS A WEAK DISTURBANCE NEXT WEEK.

I THINK MOSTLY A FEW EXTRA CLOUDS IN THE AREA.

IT WILL NOT BE A HUGE IMPACT FOR TRAVEL AND THE GOOD NEWS IS FOR THANKSGIVING IT SEEMS A OKAY.

SEEMS PRETTY QUIET AS FAR AS THE WEATHER IS CONCERNED.

NOTICE AROUND THEIR WE ARE TALKING ABOUT COASTAL MOUNTAINS PERSISTING.

56 IN THE CITY.

OCEANSIDE 49.

WE HAD 242 FOR THE LOW.

FUTURECAST DEPICTS MARINE CLOUDS STILL HANGING ON FOR US, ESPECIALLY AS WE GO INTO DAYBREAK TOMORROW MORNING.

WE WILL HAVE THEM AROUND BUT OTHERWISE, IT IS PRETTY CLOUD FREE AS WE GO INTO FRIDAY.

WE HAVE THE CONTINUED COOLING NEAR THE COASTLINES.

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 AS WE GO THROUGH NOT JUST TOMORROW BUT MORE SO THE END OF THE WEEKEND.

67 TOMORROW FOR THE HIGH-END RAIN CLOUDS GIVING WAY TO AFTERNOON SUN SHINE.

MOUNT LAGUNA COMING AT 58 FOR THE HIGH.

SATURDAY, STILL PRETTY QUIET HERE, MORE ACTIVITY FURTHER NORTH WHERE THEY GET A LITTLE MORE COOLER AIR COMING FROM NEVADA BUT IT DOES NOT HAVE AN IMPACT ON IS.

WE DO SEE THE OFFSHORE FLOW KICK IN FOR SANDY.

THAT IS WHERE WE GET BACK INTO THE UPPER 70s FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY.

IT DOES COME AT A PRICE OF A FEW EXTRA CLOUDS WITH THE WEAK DISTURBANCE WORKING IT FOR SOME OF THE COASTAL AREAS.

A MAN COMMITTEES, YOU ACTUALLY ARE HANGING OUT IN THE 70s FOR A WHILE HERE.

THAT IS KIND OF THE COOLER COASTAL INFLUENCE WITH THE ONSHORE FLOW WITH LOWER 80s AS WE GO THROUGH SUNDAY AND MONDAY WITH THE EXTRA CLOUD COVERAGE THAT WE JUST HAVE THE WEAK DISTURBANCE COMING ONSHORE.

THAT TO HEAVENS IN THE MONTH OF LOCATIONS.

NO REAL CHANCES OF SHOWERS DEPICTED AS WE KEEP THINGS PRETTY QUIET.

THEN, FOR DESERT LOCATIONS, STAYING IN THE 80s THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE WEEK AND INTO THE UPCOMING HOLIDAY WE CAN.

FOR KPBS NEWS, BACK TO YOU.

>>> TONIGHT'S WE BRING IN THE THIRD AND FINAL PART OF OUR THREE-PART SERIES, CHRISTINA KIM EXAMINES HOW PEOPLE ARE RECONCILING WITH THE LEGACY OF RACIAL RESTRICTIONS AND WHITE PEOPLE ARE CHOOSING TO REMOVE OR IN SOME CASES NOT REMOVE RACIAL RESTRICTIONS FROM THEIR DEEDS.

>> I CAN SENSEI, ENERGY FOR EVERYONE WHO HAS COME INTO THIS HOUSE WHO HAD THAT MOMENT WHERE THEY WALK IN AND SAY OH MY GOD.

I FEEL SO GOOD IN HERE.

IT FEELS LIKE A SANCTUARY.

>> Reporter: THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THE MISSION HELP BUNGALOW FEELS AND SMELLS LIKE.

A SANCTUARY PERFUMES WITH FELLOW CENTO AND DECORATED IN RICH EARTH TONES.

IN 2019, THEY UNCOVERED A HARD TRUTH ABOUT THEIR HOME.

A RACIALLY RESTRICTIVE COVENANT ATTACHED TO THE ORIGINAL DEED.

IT'S LIKE SO MANY OTHER SAN DIEGO PROPERTIES BUILT IN THE EARLY 20 CENTURY BARRED NOT WHAT PEOPLE FROM BEING IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.

>> THAT IS A SHADOW OVER NOT ONLY THE PROPERTY BUT THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD AS THE RESTRICTION IS TIED TO IT OR, YOU KNOW, AT LEAST IN.

TO ME IT WAS LIKE, LET'S REMOVE THAT.

LET'S REMOVE THE SHADOW.

>> Reporter: HE IS BLACK AND SHE IS WHITE.

IT FELT WRONG BUT THE ORIGINAL DEED TO THE SHARED HOME COULD NOT HAVE THEM LIVED THERE.

THERE WAS AN ATTACHMENT TO THE DEED SAYING IT WAS OUTLAWED BUT THEY TOOK THINGS A STEP FURTHER.

THEY WANTED ANY AND ALL MENTIONS OF THE RESTRICTIONS STRUCK FROM THE DOCUMENT.

>> WHAT I DID IS I, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, I WAS A RETIRED LAWYER AT THE TIME SO I JUST GOOGLED, YOU KNOW, THE STATUTE AND FOUND IT AND THE STATUTE IS PRETTY CLEAR.

>> Reporter: WITH THE STATUTE REFERRED TO AS A LAW ENACTED IN 2005.

IT GIVES CALIFORNIA HOMEOWNERS THE ABILITY TO CROSS OUT RACIALLY RESTRICTIVE LINKAGE FROM THEIR DEEDS.

THEY FINISHED THE PROCESS ON THE LAST DAY OF 2020 BLACK HISTORY MONTH.

THEY IMMEDIATELY FELT THE DIFFERENCE.

>> PEOPLE MIGHT SAY, IT IS NOT ENFORCEABLE SO WHAT IS THE POINT TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THE STEPS IN DOING THIS?

WHAT DOES IT PROVE?

I LIKE TO SAY, IT FELT LIKE DOING JUST LIKE, A BIG SAGE, LIKE A SMUDGED IT.

THE ULTIMATE SMUDGED.

>> Reporter: FOR THEM IT IS NOT ABOUT FORGETTING BUT CREATING A NEW FOUNDATION AND FUTURE FOR THEIR HOME.

NOT EVERYONE IN CALIFORNIA HOWEVER IS EAGER TO REMOVE THE RACIALLY RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS FROM THEIR DEEDS.

>> YOU CAN MAKE A STATEMENT AND IT SAYS THE LANGUAGE DOES NOT APPLY.

I DO NOT WANT IT TO BE LOST 20 YEARS FROM NOW THAT THIS WAS A PART OF SOCIETY.

TO BE AWARE OF HISTORY.

CERTAIN PARTS OF THE COUNTRY I SEE REPEATS.

YOU KNOW, FOR ME I JUST WANT IT NOTED HAPPENS HERE IN SAN DIEGO TO GO.

>> Reporter: A BLACK HOMEOWNER WAS ONCE MISTAKEN FOR A GARDENER IN HIS OWN NEIGHBORHOOD.

HE IS KEEPING THE RESTRICTIVE LANGUAGE ON HIS DEED HE HAS BEEN ABLE TO USE IT TO GET HIS EXTENDED FAMILY TO TALK ABOUT THE SAN DIEGO RACIST HISTORY AND THE HURDLES THAT THEY FACE.

IT HAS NOT BEEN EASY.

>> YOU REALLY HAVE TO PULL TEETH TO GET YOUR OLDER RELATIVES TO TALK ABOUT THESE THINGS THAT I THINK THAT IS PART OF THE TRAUMA OF IT ALL.

RATHER THAN TACKLE IT HEAD-ON, WE JUST PUT IT IN THE BACK.

>> Reporter: HE UNDERSTANDS WHY HIS GRANDFATHERS AND FAMILY DO NOT WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.

HE ALSO WANTS TO MAKE SURE THE HISTORY IS KEPT ALIVE, SPECIALIST DEBATES OVER SUBURBIA AND SINGLE-FAMILY ZONING AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING ONCE AGAIN TAKING CENTER STAGE.

AT THE LOCAL LEVEL AND AS WE SAW DURING THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL.

>> WE WILL FIGHT ALL OF THEIR LIVES TO GET INTO THE SUBURBS AND HAVE A BEAUTIFUL HOME.

NO MORE LOW-INCOME HOUSING FORCED INTO THE SUPPERS.

>> Reporter: RACIALLY RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS AND OTHER FORMS OF HOUSING DISCRIMINATION ARE ILLEGAL NOW.

THE IDEAS AND LANGUAGE THAT NORMALIZE RACIAL RESTRICTIONS IN THE FIRST PLACE CONTINUE TODAY.

>> YOU SEE IT A LOT.

A LOT OF MOVEMENTS.

AND LOT OF THE NOT IN MY BACKYARD MOVEMENTS WHERE PEOPLE ARE PUSHING BACK AGAINST CHANGES THAT WOULD MAKE A NEIGHBORHOOD NOT ACCESSIBLE.

>> Reporter: THAT IS A UC SAN DIEGO HISTORIAN.

OFTEN LOCAL SAN DIEGO TALK ABOUT A PROPERTY VALUE AND RIGHTS AS HOMEOWNERS, SHE HEARS THE SAME LOGIC USED IN THE PAST TO DEFEND SEGREGATION.

>> I EARNED THIS HOUSE.

THIS IS WHERE I PUT MY MONEY AND SAVE MY EARNING SO THEREFORE, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I DESERVED.

>> Reporter: WHILE WE NO LONGER HEAR OVERT RACIST STATEMENTS AROUND HOUSING.

HOMEOWNER STILL FEEL IT IS THEIR RIGHT TO CONTROL WHO CAN AND CAN'T LIVE NEAR THEM.

THAT IS WHY SHE AND OTHERS EMPHASIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF SEEING AND UNDERSTANDING THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE RACIAL COVENANTS OF THE LAST CENTURY AND THE HOUSING ISSUES OF TODAY.

IT IS KEY TO ENSURING A MORE EQUITABLE FUTURE.

>>> TO READ THE COMPLETE THREE- PART SERIES ON RACIAL COVENANTS IN SAN DIEGO, GO TO KPBS.ORG.

>>> YOU MAY WANT TO CATCH A RIDE ON A TROLLEY THIS SUNDAY.

IT IS FREE.

IT IS OFFERED AT ALL TROLLEY LINES TO CELEBRATE THE OFFICIAL OPENING OF THE BLUE LINE EXTENSION.

THE 11 MILE EXPANSION INCLUDES NINE NEW TROLLEY STATIONS CONNECTING THE AREAS WHICH TOOK FIVE YEARS TO COMPLETE AND INCREASES THE TROLLEY NETWORK BY 20%.

STRUCK TODAY'S HEADLINE FROM WASHINGTON IS THE HOUSE PASSING THE BUILD BACK BETTER BILL.

IT IS IS THE SECOND PART OF A MASSIVE INVESTMENT IN LOCAL COMMUNITIES.

SOME OF WHAT IS ALREADY PLANNED FOR SAN DIEGO.

>> Reporter: THE STATE WILL RECEIVE OVER $380 MILLION FOR VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES.

ADDITIONALLY, THE BILL FINDS OVER $100 MILLION FOR HIGH- SPEED BROADBAND OVER HALF 1 MILLION CALIFORNIANS IN REMOTE AREAS WHO DO NOT HAVE ANY ACCESS TO BROADBAND AT THIS POINT.

WHAT IS IS ALL HAPPENED?

AS EARLY AS THE YEAR 2022.

THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE MONEY COMING TO SAN DIEGO WILL HOPEFULLY IMPROVE TRANSIT SYSTEMS.

THAT IS PART OF THE $160 BILLION VISION DELIVERED ABOUT A YEAR AGO.

A LOT OF INTEREST SECTOR PROJECTS REQUIRE SOME KIND OF LOCAL FUNDED.

A POTENTIAL BALLOT MEASURE WILL BE ON THE NOVEMBER 2022 BALLOT THAT WILL RAISE SALES TAX BY HALF A CENT.

THAT IS TO FUND A LOT OF THE EXPANSION IN THE TRANSIT SYSTEM.

IN ORDER TO GET THE KIND OF FUND WE NEED, IF THE CITY PASSES IT, IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT WE ARE GOING TO GET A LOT OF NATIONAL FUNDS FOR THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT.

>> I AM JUDY WOODRUFF.
