Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Thursday, November sixth.We start today with a major political development as California voters have passed Proposition 50. With nearly sixty-four percent of ballots in favor, this measure will temporarily reshape our state’s congressional map to give Democrats an advantage in key districts for the 2026 midterms. Local seats, especially up in North County, could see new faces next year. At City Hall, our Board of Supervisors has voted unanimously to urge the federal government to speed up CalFresh food assistance. Almost four hundred thousand San Diegans rely on these SNAP benefits, and the government shutdown is putting essential support at risk. Leaders are pushing hard to make sure our neighbors get the help they need.Turning to Poway, the recall effort against Councilman Tony Blaine appears to have succeeded, with over eighty percent of voters calling for his removal. The charges against Blaine, involving both felonies and misdemeanors, have rocked the community. If the results are certified, Poway will hold a special election to fill that City Council seat. In other City Hall news, San Diego’s safe parking lot in Point Loma, the old H barracks near the airport, now has more than one hundred open spots for people experiencing homelessness, especially those in oversized vehicles. The city’s contract with Jewish Family Services ensures essential support and it’s working to ease the closure of the Arrow Drive sleeping area as services consolidate.Now, let’s take a look at the weather. We’re waking up to mostly clear skies, a light breeze, and cooler temperatures along the coast. Expect highs today in the upper sixties to low seventies, with more sunshine as we head into the afternoon. But if you’re near the ocean, be cautious. King Tides, peaking just before nine this morning, are combining with elevated surf and bringing the real risk of minor flooding on low-lying boardwalks and parking areas, especially around La Jolla, Ocean Beach, and Mission Bay. Swells could hit up to eight feet, and the risk of rip currents remains high, so please be careful if you’re heading into the water.Looking at the real estate market, inventory remains tight, with single-family home listings hovering just above twenty-three hundred. Average home prices are still above eight hundred fifteen thousand dollars, but open houses this weekend may bring deals as fall continues to cool the market. For jobs, the hospitality sector is seeing small but promising growth. Several new positions opened this week at downtown hotels, and two new tech startups in Sorrento Valley are hiring engineers and data analysts.In education, congratulations go out to San Diego High School’s women’s cross-country team, who took first place in the citywide meet at Balboa Park last night. The team’s dedication and sportsmanship made our city proud.We do have to address a somber story in crime. Police have arrested eighteen-year-old David Garcia, accused of shooting and killing two teenage boys at a Halloween party in Paradise Hills. He has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder. Police are still investigating and say more arrests may be coming. Meanwhile, public safety officials report no major incidents overnight but do urge everyone to be extra cautious around areas with minor flooding.On the culture front, Barrio Logan’s Art Walk returns this Saturday, featuring live music and over eighty local artists. And for music lovers, the Observatory North Park welcomes acclaimed singer-songwriter Lucy Dacus tomorrow night, a can’t-miss show for indie fans.Finally, a feel-good story for us all: volunteers from the Ocean Beach Community Garden helped plant over one thousand native plants along the Sunset Cliffs trail this week, restoring habitat and bringing fall color just in time for Veterans Day.Thank you for tuning in and remember to subscribe.
