What were the top stories of 2007? The regional housing market experienced a sharp downturn, and the impending water crisis has communities looking to conserve. How low will home prices go? What can the region do to secure an adequate water supply for the future?
Also, the news out of San Diego City Hall was dominated by conflicts between Mayor Sanders and the City Council, and City Attorney Mike Aguirre's battles with both. What's on the agenda for 2008 at City Hall? The October wildfires reinforced to everyone in San Diego County that our region is susceptible to massive firestorms, and there's not much we can do to prevent them.
Plus, the war in Iraq and debates between the president and Congress dominated national headlines. Is an end to the war in sight? Will the Democrat-controlled congress pass meaningful legislation on healthcare and immigration reform in 2008? All that's next time on the Editors Roundtable.
