San Diego has a new proposal designed to overhaul many of its more dilapidated neighborhood parks and it’s doing so by luring developers towards the city’s transit hubs.

The proposal is not only designed to revitalize parks in historically underserved neighborhoods, but would also incentivize developers into building more affordable housing in the process.

Voice of San Diego reporter MacKenzie Elmer joined Midday Edition on Wednesday with more on the new proposal.
