Description
With more rain than usual this year, you may have noticed more weeds and overgrown vegetation. A recent audit of San Diego’s brush management efforts found that overall, the City’s been lacking and just isn’t cutting it. CBS 8 is Working for You to find out who’s responsible for the brush cleanup and what’s being done about it.
“More weeds and varieties of weeds came in so thick that it’s really hard to get rid of, and now you can see, it’s not green anymore. It’s dying and it’s a fire hazard,” said Damien Devine, who lives near a city-owned lot in the San Carlos neighborhood. “The brush was 8 feet tall right here. Several neighbors came together one morning, and we just trimmed the heck out of it as best we could.”
Two months ago, a city crew trimmed back one area down the hill, but they stopped there.
