SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — The environmental community is concerned that individuals using masks are disposing of the face-covering properly.Dimitri Deheyn is a Scripps Institution of Oceanography research scientist and studies biodegradable objects, something disposable masks are not. He said around the world, researchers are seeing an increase in trashed masks on beaches, which will ultimately end up in the ocean and harm wildlife and our ecosystem.In addition, when the disposable masks are thrown away, the string can become a danger to animals if not cut, so he said if you have to use disposable masks, cut the string that goes around the ear.Deheyn has been working with a company based in Austria called Lenzing that typically makes eco-friendly comfortable clothing from fibers that can degrade, making them better for the environment. He said the company shifted to making biodegradable masks when the pandemic hit, and he’s helped test them.“Basically test them, we put them in the seawater and see if they degrade and yes they degrade,” he said.He said there are U.S. companies that make a similar product, and this is what people should be wearing instead of disposable masks. He said reusable masks are another solution to helping save the environment.“If you are acting as an individualistic human being, and you oppress nature, at the end this could be very bad for us as a human society,” he said, encouraging everyone to do their part. 1457

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- The cost of housing is a huge issue in California, as the issue of rent control heads to the November ballot.Proposition 21 would allow local governments to establish rent control on residential properties over 15 years old. It allows rent increases on rent-controlled properties of up to 15 percent over three years from previous tenant’s rent above any increase allowed by local ordinance.The proposition would exempt individuals who own no more than two homes from new rent control policies.Mark Doering is a landlord who rents out two homes. While Prop. 21 would not apply to him, he said he is against rent control. "I think the government has put enough burden on landlords like myself," he said. During the pandemic, numerous local governments issued bans on evictions for those facing hardships due to COVID-19. While Doering understands this difficult time, he said he and other landlords depend on the rent money."If they relied on that rent, they're in a bad enough situation as it is right now," Doering said. The No on 21 ad airing on television is sponsored by the California Apartment Association, with major funding from Essex Property Trust and Affiliated Entities, Equity Residential, and AvalonBay Communities. Pt. Loma Nazarene University's Chief Economist Lynn Reaser said the No and Yes on 21 ads do not actually explain what will happen if the measure passes. “It allows local governments to set their own rent control measures that would be different from what the state now has, which basically caps rent increases at 5 percent plus rate of inflation,” Reaser said.The ad claims that voters rejected a similar measure two years ago, which is true. There are a few differences with Prop. 21 than Prop. 10, which failed in 2018. This measure would apply to housing more than 15 years old. Owners with one or two properties would be exempt. Reaser analyzed Census statistics and said roughly one out of 10 rental units would be affected by Prop. 21. About 45 percent of Californians are renters. In San Diego County, about 450,000 rental units would be affected, or about 85 percent of all rental housing.The ad also claims that Prop. 21 would reduce home values by up to 20 percent. Reaser said it is likely property values will decrease over time, but not immediately."That will spill over into lower property taxes, which funds primarily our schools," Reaser said. The Legislative Analyst's Office said even as owners sell off their properties, "revenue losses from lower property values would be larger than revenue gains from increased sales." "It's very important to vote, but it's also very important to be an informed voter," Reaser added. 2698

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — The former home of San Diego Padres icon Tony Gwynn has finally found a buyer."Mr. Padre's" Poway home, that had since been foreclosed, was sold on Dec. 13 for ,429,500, according to Realtor.com. The two-acre residence was placed on the auction block in June starting at .2 million. The posted legal notice said that .5 million was still owed on the home.After the auction failed to find a new owner, the lender took control of the property.RELATED: Family of MLB legend Tony Gwynn settles tobacco lawsuitWhen the home remained empty, suspicious activity and reported squatters took up residence inside the estate. In January, the San Diego County Sheriff's Department said they had received nearly half a dozen reports about trespassers at the address over the past few weeks.Realtor celebrity reporter Erik Gunther said the steady price cuts on the property encouraged the new buyer to "take a swing" at the home."After a drawn-out debacle involving squatters and foreclosure, the former home of Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn finally has a new owner," Gunther wrote. "The bank whiffed with their initial price of .12 million, but a steady number of price cuts over the past few months finally encouraged a buyer to take a swing at rehabbing the baseball legend's home."The 7,370-square-foot home features seven bedrooms, 5.5 baths, living room with fireplace, a spacious kitchen and dining room, and its grounds include a basketball court and a pool with a spa. Bad investments by Gwynn caused the MLB legend to file for bankruptcy in 1987, which may have played a role in difficulties holding on to the property after his death from cancer in 2014. The Gwynn family had owned the residence since 1991 for the bank took ownership, according to Realtor. 1784

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — The City of San Diego will consider making a significant change to the way voting is done, best known as "ranked choice voting."It would allow voters to list up to four candidates in order of preference, rather than just cast a traditional ballot for one candidate."It's a very interesting system that hopefully decreases some of the negative campaigning that we ordinarily see," Councilmember Mark Kersey, who supports ranked choice, told 10News Friday.In the proposed version of ranked choice that San Diego is considering, the top four candidates in each primary race would advance to the general election, rather than the top two. In November, voters would then rank the candidates by preference. If one candidate has more than 50 percent of the vote on first count, that candidate would win. If no candidate reaches 50 percent, the last place finisher would be thrown out. That person's votes would then be reallocated according to the voters' second choice. The field would continue winnowing until a candidate tops 50 percent.UC San Diego political science professor Thad Kousser says ranked choice allows voters to feel like they are not wasting their vote on a long shot, and helps avoid the idea of voting for the lesser of two evils. "It allows voters to take a sincere vote without throwing away the weight that their vote would have," Kousser said.Kousser also says ranked choice helps keep races from getting as negative. "It could give candidates incentive to play nice with each other, to be less negative in their advertising beceause they would love to be second place on every voter's dance card," he added.Kersey says the City Council will consider placing ranked choice on the November ballot, with the goal of making the change in 2022. If the council elects not to put ranked choice on the ballot, supporters say they will launch a signature drive to get the measure on the ballot that way.Other cities in California have already adopted ranked choice, including San Francisco, Oakland, and Palm Desert. The concept is also gaining steam elsewhere in the country, with Maine moving to ranked choice for statewide elections."There's a reason why people are looking at doing it this way," Kersey said. "I think it's just a better way." 2283

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — The Filipino community in San Diego numbers around 200,000, second only to Latinos.This election the effort to get out the vote among that group has stepped up.Jo Ann Fields is among those getting out the word. She's been manning a phone bank nearly every day for the past few weeks. "It's important for us to get out the vote so we can grab the attention of our decision-makers and get things done," Fields said.Fields is the Government and Public Relations Director for the Asian Pacific Islander Initiative. The group does many things to support and advance its community, including civic engagement."We are the second largest ethnic group after Latinos we are the largest segment among Asian Pacific Islanders," says Fields.According to the San Diego County Registrar of Voters, more than 46,000 special language ballots have been requested in Filipino this year.Fields says there are several factors she thinks will encourage people to vote in record numbers, including having a Filipino candidate on the ballot, such as Todd Gloria, who is running for San Diego mayor."This is the first time someone from our community would be the leader of a city with 1 million-plus residents so that's really exciting," Fields said.The effort to get out the vote has been impacted by COVID-19, but the outreach is all done virtually this year."Phone banking is one way, text banking is another, virtual town hall like we will have Friday," Fields recalls.That town hall is designed to answer questions about how and when to vote. That's information Fields says is more important than ever this year. 1619
