On Tuesday, the San Diego City Council voted 8-1 on the sale of the Tailgate lot and approved a plan that would create space outside of Petco Park in the East Village.
SAN DIEGO —

Affordable housing advocates believe the space could be better used to help those living on the streets of downtown San Diego.
