As the pace of new confirmed COVID-19 cases is slowing down in California, state authorities are adopting a reopening plan based on monitoring local and county-level hotbeds. Meanwhile, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill extending the state’s eviction moratorium through January of next year, which supersedes the recent federal action taken by the CDC. In the meantime, San Diego’s multifamily sector is holding relatively steady, but is still facing its share of uncertainty. However, activity did not grind to a halt, as development maintained a steady pace. Read our August selection of San Diego must-knows:
