“A father and son who operate a nonprofit boxing gym for kids in suburban San Diego are fighting their town for the right to stay where they are. Ultimately, their battle to hold onto their property could help decide your right to hold onto yours.

Carlos Barragan and his son Carlos Jr. turned an old gun store into the gym. They sued in September to challenge the “blighted” certification given to the property and an adjacent neighborhood by National City.
