Amid San Diego's high transportation costs, some manage to find relief San Diego households spend more on transportation than almost every other metro area in the country. The culprit, experts say, is the automobile.

VA reverses course on disability rule change; advocates warn it's not going away The department says it won't enforce a new disability rule two days after announcing it β€” critics said it would cut veterans' benefits and penalize them for seeking treatment.
