Community Budget Alliance coalition organizer Andrea Gaspar tells the San Diego Union Tribune that the City of San Diego has long favored the wealthy and well-connected and the pandemic is exacerbating these inequities:
"Institutional racism has existed on the City Council since it was created, so we need to focus on making sure these neighborhoods get their fair share."
