SAN DIEGO – Wednesday was move-in day for the Menjivar family in San Diego’s Southcrest neighborhood.They don't have all the furniture or appliances just yet, but Edgardo Menjiver said this is all they need for the holidays.“Thank God for giving me all the little things. I'm so happy. Believe me, I'm so happy,” Edgardo said.The family has spent the last nine months without a home, living in hotels and their garage after the Jan. 22 floods destroyed most of their belongings.
“Exactly,” Edgardo replied.But not everyone on Beta Street is celebrating this year.'Life to me is just life now. I don’t look forward to anything anymore,' said Jerry Hernandez. 'I don’t. It hurts.”Jerry used to live on Beta Street in Section 8 housing. He was relocated soon after the flooding but said the experience worsened his spinal cord injury.“We sat in that cold freezing water for 5-and-a-half hours. I felt something lock in my back. I said, ‘Something’s wrong.
