Denise of Voice of San Diego sent us some news:

I know that you are a frequent reader of our site, but I wanted to bring to your attention that Rich Toscano of piggington.com will now write a regular housing and real estate column for us. It will appear on Thursdays. You can learn more on our site here.

Additionally, we’ve began to dedicate more time and energy covering housing and real estate from a news angle. Reporter Will Carless has tackled subjects like risky home loan financing and appraisal fraud. Earlier this week, he wrote a story “Surf City to Sin City,” detailing how Las Vegas officials are poised to target local businesses and encourage them to move to their town. Will is scheduled to talk about this story and the real estate beat this Friday on Full Focus: Top Stories on KPBS. To read “Surf City to Sin City,” visit our home page at www.voiceofsandiego.org.
