A June 2nd ballot measure that could cost San Diego homeowners thousands of dollars if their properties are left vacant for more than 182 days a year; rationale behind the measure; potential for legal challenges to the measure, if it passes; how other jurisdictions (whether in California or nationally) have addressed the problem of vacant residential or commercial properties; how such measures have performed.
