What is prop 22?
Based on t.v. ads, you'd think Prop 22 was the best thing since sliced bread for the Uber, InstaCart and DoorDash workers. Why, Uber is even one of the sponsors! But, alas, after reading the actual text of the proposition, you'd soon realize that things aren't always as they are portrayed on t.v.
This has become the most expensive ballot-measure campaign in state history,. Why, you ask? Because these large, super successful companies that built their businesses around gig labor seek are seeking to avoid having to reclassify their workers as full-time employees, which would result in these workers being compensated fairly, as they are in any other line of work.
Proposition 22 is a ballot measure that would exempt gig companies from AB5, a groundbreaking labor law that was passed in 2019 that extended employee protections to gig workers. In other words, Prop 22 would allow these companies not to treat gig workers like employees.
The official name of the ballot measure is the “Protect App-Based Drivers and Services Act.” The measure, if passed by the majority of voters on 3 November, would apply to app-based drivers, including those who work for Uber, Lyft and DoorDash.

3 Roots Housing Development coming soon
The City recently approved a new 1,800-home neighborhood just East of Sorrento Valley, in what some refer to as western Mira Mesa, but what may become known as the new Carol Canyon neighborhood. Located in the former quarry East of Camino Santa Fe and North of Miramar, this sprawling new development has been in the works for years, and is finally coming to fruition.
The community will feature five separate neighborhoods with varying densities of housing, allowing people of all incomes to live in 3 Roots. The developers have agreed to restore Carroll Canyon Creek and include 256 acres of parks, trails and open space. There also will be 160,160 square feet of retail and commercial development in a mixed-use central area called the “Roots Collective.”
For more information on this development, click here for an article from the San Diego Union-Tribune.
