Okay. A Burbank has 13 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 2: been doing this for I don't know twenty five years, 14 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 2: and now Los Angeles is going to steal the idea 15 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 2: and put solar street lights, so these guys can't take 16 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 2: the copper wire anymore. You know, it took them, you know, 17 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 2: about twenty five years to catch up to Burbo La, 18 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 2: mayor of. 19 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,680 Speaker 4: Here in Bass, is set to announce a plan to 20 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 4: replace up to sixty thousand city street lights with solar 21 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 4: power technology great idea. The mayor's expected to officially announce 22 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 4: the initiative this afternoon in Prokoima. Mayor Maass's office says 23 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 4: the plan will improve safety, reduce power consumption, and chip 24 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 4: away at the city's decade long backlog of repairs. Transitioning 25 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 4: to solar street light tech is also expected to cut 26 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 4: down on copper wire theft, which is responsible for many 27 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 4: of the city's broken lights. Mayor Maass is up for 28 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 4: reelection in the June tewond primary. 29 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 2: There you go, all right, there's a there might be 30 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 2: a billionaire's tax going around where people think, and may 31 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 2: rightfully so that they have too much body. But it's 32 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 2: going to be, I believe, on the ballot and we're 33 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 2: going to decide whether we're going to tax these billionaires. 34 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 2: And it goes, it goes. It's retroactive to I think 35 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 2: January of this year or January of last year. If 36 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 2: you lived in California, you're going to be hit with 37 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 2: this billionaire's tax spending. But the problem, and we're going 38 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 2: to see this if it happens, these billionaires are not 39 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 2: They didn't become billionaires by being taken advantage of. They 40 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 2: know loopholes and they're going to get around it. Plus 41 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 2: or they're going to move out of state. They'll move 42 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 2: to Texas or Florida or Nevada or Oregon or wherever. 43 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 2: You know. They don't pay income tax, and they'll split, 44 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 2: they'll just leave, and then we'll lose all of those 45 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 2: jobs and all that tax base. It might just disappear. 46 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 5: Spending big to avoid having to spend big. But that's 47 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 5: what we're talking about here. We've talked about the billionaire 48 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,239 Speaker 5: tax before and how some of California super rich are 49 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:51,119 Speaker 5: leaving the state to avoid this proposed billionaire tax. Now, 50 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 5: according to The Wall Street Journal, some California wealthy people 51 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 5: are trying to fight back with their own proposed ballot 52 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 5: measure that would either overturn or limit the other ballot 53 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 5: measure that would inflict the billionaire tax on them. Tech 54 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 5: and business leaders reportedly have ponied up nearly eighty million 55 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 5: dollars to collect signatures for a measure that would place 56 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 5: limits on the proposed billionaire tax. Google co founder Sergey 57 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 5: Brinn alone reportedly has committed forty five million dollars. 58 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 2: Wow, this guy really hates paying taxes. 59 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 5: To the alternative ballot measure, and that money is going 60 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 5: in large part to paying professional signature collectors to get 61 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 5: petitions to support the alternative measure. How much do these 62 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 5: collectors get, Well, they're reportedly receiving fifteen dollars for every 63 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 5: valid signature they can get. 64 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 2: Wow, that's a great job. Now you can get you 65 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 2: can get twenty signatures an hour legitimate you know, people 66 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 2: who are in voting a voting age, and in California 67 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 2: you can get twenty an hour. Three you know, you 68 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 2: make three hundred bucks an hour. 69 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 5: Onto these petitions, which is why you see them behaving 70 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 5: so aggressively outside of supermarkets and other places where they 71 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 5: gather these things. Now, vis, let's just take a step 72 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 5: back for a moment and look at what we're talking 73 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 5: about here. The proposed billionaire tax is a one time 74 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,359 Speaker 5: five percent levee on any California resident worth at least 75 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 5: one billion dollars as of January first, even if they've 76 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 5: subsequently moved away since then. Now, this tax money would 77 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 5: go towards the strengthening the states healthcare and education systems. 78 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 5: And that's pretty much it, and I want to emphasize 79 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 5: it's a one. 80 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 2: Time only levee. 81 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 5: Now, rather than apply a portion of their immense fortunes 82 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 5: to these causes healthcare and education, a number of super 83 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 5: rich here in California are instead now fighting back by 84 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 5: spending big bucks to sponsor these alternatives to protect their wellbeing. 85 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 5: And let's emphasize this key point. The rich are entire 86 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 5: do whatever they want with their money. It's their money, 87 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 5: after all. That's exactly right. We all get that. At 88 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 5: the same time, it's kind of a sign of the 89 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 5: times that we're talking about people with immense fortunes that 90 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 5: are conspicuously spending money to protect themselves rather than to 91 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 5: protect the well being of others. Sergey Brinn, for example, 92 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 5: he's worth more than two hundred billion dollars. 93 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 6: That is a lot of money. Statistically, most people are 94 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 6: more likely to become homeless. 95 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 2: Okay, But that's why he wants to fight it. You know, 96 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 2: if a guy's worth okay, let's he's worth two hundred 97 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 2: billion dollars, then five percent of that is ten billion. 98 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 2: And so if he could spend eighty million to try 99 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 2: to hold on to ten billion dollars, I think anybody 100 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 2: would do that. Anybody in his position would do that. 101 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 2: Five percent of two hundred billion dollars is a hell 102 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 2: of a lot of money. Billion dollars. 103 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 6: That is a lot of money. Statistically, most people are 104 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 6: more likely to become homeless before ever becoming a billionaire. 105 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 6: It's notable that Governor Gavin Newsom is a instance proposed 106 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 6: tax five percent one time levy on billionaires. He calls 107 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 6: it damaging, a threat to California's competitive competitiveness. He argues 108 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 6: that taxing billionaires will essentially cause an exodus of wealth 109 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 6: and thereby reducing tax revenue and investment in the state. 110 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 5: And it's a fair point, I mean to be sure you. 111 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 2: Obviously, although it is a one time tax, it's not 112 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 2: going to be an annual tax. So I don't know, 113 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 2: I don't know, But man, there is a there's no state, 114 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 2: I think in the United States like California, where there's 115 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,239 Speaker 2: so much space between the haves and the have nots. 116 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 2: It is unbelievable. 117 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 5: Disincentivize people, entrepreneurs, for example, from succeeding. So you can 118 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 5: see how the governor makes it a reasonable point. On 119 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 5: the other hand, the governor also counts the super rich 120 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 5: among his supporters, and so obviously they have his ear. 121 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 2: That's right, he's friends with these super wealthy people. 122 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 5: That said, we are in very difficult times and our 123 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 5: healthcare and education systems are teetering on the edge of 124 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 5: extreme distress. A handful of people have a lot of money. 125 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 5: Most people don't have a lot of money. Well, you 126 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 5: know the old saying, why do you rob banks because 127 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 5: that's where the money is spending. 128 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 2: To avoid That's exactly right. Speaking of that, What is 129 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 2: the restaurant where he got caught? 130 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 7: Was? 131 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 2: It? Was it wet laundry, dirty laundry. 132 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 7: It's French laundry. 133 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 2: French laundry. They got nailed. Did you hear what happened 134 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 2: to them? 135 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 7: No? 136 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 2: Bad? I go see if I'm right on this. I 137 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 2: don't want to say anything. Maybe I was dreaming this 138 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 2: French laundry. Yes, French laundry got nailed with. I think 139 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 2: it's pests and also a horrible, horrible conditions in the restroom. 140 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 2: If I got this right, but shut down because of 141 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 2: cockroaches and rats. Yes, let me see if I got 142 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 2: this right. I don't want to, you know, say anything. 143 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 2: Get sued here French laundry. Oh okay, here, I'm glad 144 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 2: I said this. French laundry is not shut down, but 145 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 2: it's currently facing a twenty twenty six lawsuit filed by 146 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 2: a former employee alleging wage theft and also labor violations. 147 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 2: All right, so there's two things going on. The wage 148 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 2: theft they're arguing that, and then also there was something 149 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 2: about the conditions in a bathroom. Maybe that's not right, 150 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 2: but they are looking at a lawsuit from a former 151 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 2: employee who says that they were ripping off either tips 152 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 2: or their wages or whatever. But that also might just 153 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 2: be a disgruntled ex employe. That's possible as well.

Easter's coming up, and you're going 206 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 2: to pay a lot more for the chocolate bunnies and 207 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 2: the chocolates. Chocolate is going through the rooms. 208 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 9: I'm trying to buy those chocolate bunnies now and filling 209 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 9: up that Easter basket this year, it's not getting any cheaper. 210 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,079 Speaker 9: A new report from Wells Fargo says that choppers should 211 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 9: expect to pay high prices for Easter chocolate, which is 212 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 9: a staple in ninety percent of all Easter baskets. Cocoa 213 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 9: bean prices have actually been plummeting recently from their historic highs, 214 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 9: but a lot of candy makers buy cocoa months in advance, 215 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 9: so the inventory that you see on store shelves right 216 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 9: now is to ill priced for those high levels. This 217 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 9: report says that we probably won't see chocolate prices come 218 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 9: down at the store until Halloween. 219 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 2: Oh that's good, that's good. We're gonna have a good Halloween. 220 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 2: And I think Halloween this year, if I'm not mistaken, 221 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 2: I think Halloween is on a Saturday. All the big 222 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 2: holidays are on the weekend. Oh, it's so great Halloween 223 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 2: up there. Yeah, the Halloween this year is on a Saturday. 224 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 2: So your kids can prepare all day on Saturday to 225 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 2: go out trigger treating and not have to worry about 226 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 2: school the next day. They can eat as much crap 227 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 2: as they can on Saturday night, because they can sleep 228 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 2: in on Sunday. It only happens what every seven years 229 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,559 Speaker 2: or so, maybe with leap beer every you know, six 230 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 2: or twelve years, could be every thirteen years. But this 231 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 2: year Halloween is on a Saturday, which means a lot 232 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 2: of parties are gonna be happening, tons of parties. 233 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 3: Overall. 234 00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 9: In the past year, candy prices including chocolate are almost 235 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,079 Speaker 9: twelve percent. In the last five years, they have spiked 236 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 9: forty five percent. There is one data point that can 237 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,559 Speaker 9: help put a little hop in your step this Easter, 238 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 9: and that is egg prices. After hitting record highs from 239 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 9: the shortage during the bird flu outbreak, eggs are now 240 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 9: down forty two percent. 241 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw eggs at Walmart the other day a 242 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 2: dollar sixty two a dozen for a dozen eggs a 243 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 2: dollar sixty two. It's huge, you know, compared to the 244 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 2: eight to nine dollars a dozen that we were seeing 245 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 2: a year ago, a year and a half ago. So 246 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 2: Easter is gonna be a little expensive, But Halloween is 247 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 2: gonna be great, and it is gonna be on a Saturday, 248 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 2: so the kids, we'll look forward to that. That is 249 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 2: going to be cool. So egg prices are down but 250 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 2: Easter chocolate is up. Yes, it's weird, it's odd, it's strange.

But experts say the effort to class up 281 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 10: the joint is nothing new. 282 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 12: If you were looking to project an image as an 283 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 12: establishment that is all about fine dining, and scattered throughout 284 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 12: the restaurant are people who look like they just came 285 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 12: from the gym. It's going to detract from that image. 286 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 2: That's right. Yeah. Why do adults need to be told this? 287 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 2: Why is an adult you have to be told not 288 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 2: to wear your swimsuit to a steakhouse. 289 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 10: One recent survey found diners want elevated and even instagrammable outings, 290 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 10: with seventy four percent of consumers saying they have or 291 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 10: planned to return to restaurants with a unique experience.

Still, 309 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 10: some requirements leave room for interpretation, like the dreaded smart 310 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 10: casual And I know if you're dressed smart? How do 311 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 10: you know if you're dressed smart? That's the standard?

You know that full blown, full grown adults 327 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 2: have to be told how to dress when they're fifty. 328 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 2: What did they miss when they were a child?

You know, not so much basketball, hockey, 377 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 2: and football, but baseball has a long tradition of opening day. 378 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,439 Speaker 2: When you say, oh, it's opening day for a sport, 379 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 2: immediately you think of baseball. You don't think of football, basketball, 380 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,919 Speaker 2: or hockey. Opening day is almost exclusively. That term is 381 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 2: used almost exclusively for baseball, and we have a world 382 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 2: championship team to celebrate, so there's gonna be a lot 383 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 2: of festivities out there.

Don't make the mistake 389 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,360 Speaker 2: of leaving at five. You know, at four o'clock. It's 390 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 2: a five thirty start.

Maybe they'll open it 397 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 2: a little early because so many people are going out there, 398 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 2: but it's a big deal. It's going to be the 399 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 2: lead story on you know, unless say you know, seven 400 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 2: forty seven, you know it does a cartwheel at LAX. 401 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 2: It's going to be the lead story for a lot 402 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 2: of newscasts as well.

I think 598 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 2: it's a peninsula, but it feels like an island. 599 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 16: We've got the beach, we've got the bay, so there's 600 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 16: just a lot to do and you want to be 601 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 16: out doing it. 602 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 3: Others point to how walkable the island is, making it 603 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 3: easier to get exercise. 604 00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 2: I walk everywhere, ride my bike everywhere, and I don't 605 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 2: length the island a lot. 606 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 3: I really don't. Along with Coronado University City San Dieguito, 607 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 3: North San Diego and Delmar Mira Mesa top the list 608 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 3: of life expectancy. The county's report points out that access 609 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 3: to healthcare and housing, economic opportunity, and level of exercise 610 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 3: all play a role in how long you live. 611 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 2: That's got a text. It's called an island, tim because 612 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 2: it is, and I said it's not. Technically it's not. 613 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 2: Because you can drive from Coronado all the way to 614 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 2: the Mexican border. Once you cross that bridge, there's a 615 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 2: road that goes, i believe, all the way down to 616 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 2: the Mexican border. So while they call it an island, 617 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 2: it's not as island ish as you think. 618 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 3: It is just about thirteen miles from Coronado. The city 619 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 3: of Lemon Grove has the lowest life expectancy in the county, 620 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 3: at just under seventy nine years. Right, do want to 621 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 3: move a little bit? A contributing factor to this lower 622 00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 3: life expectancy Lemon Grove's rate of fatal drug overdoses, which 623 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 3: it was almost double the county average in twenty twenty four, 624 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 3: while the county's overall rate was on the decline. 625 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 1: No, it doesn't surprise me one bit because I've seen 626 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 1: it happen on my block. 627 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 3: Other lemon growth residents point to environmental factors here impacting overall. 628 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 7: Health pollution from the exhaust from cars and stuff like that. 629 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 4: I believe that is bringing life xpacescy down. 630 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. Eighty seven eighty seven point two is 631 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 2: pretty good. All right. I just looked this up. Coronado 632 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 2: is technically a tide island. Okay, it's a peninsula. I 633 00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 2: was correct. It's not a true island. It's a city 634 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 2: in San Diego connected to the mainland by a ten 635 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 2: mile long sandy beaches. And yes, it is not technically 636 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 2: an island. So the guy who texts me that you 637 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 2: were wrong, and I'll wait for the apology.
