Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Thursday, August twenty-eighth. We kick off today under cloudy skies as the remnants of Tropical Storm Juliette bring some much-needed moisture across the county. There’s a chance of light showers mainly in the mountains through the morning, but we can generally expect cooler temperatures—highs in the 70s along the coast and mid-80s inland. Some of us might see those dramatic tropical clouds but for most, rain will be light and quick to clear by tonight. The National Weather Service tells us to expect a drying trend and warmer temps heading into the weekend.Now, let’s get to the latest headlines shaping our city. San Diego County supervisors are meeting this morning to address looming federal funding cuts, projected at about three hundred million dollars each year. This threatens support for health care and food assistance for thousands of our neighbors, and county leaders Tara Lawson-Remer, Monica Montgomery Steppe, and Nora Vargas Aguirre are pushing to find solutions to hold the safety net together.Wednesday brought updates from the City of Lemon Grove where its new program to place the unhoused into safer shelter kicked off. Residents and organizers are hopeful this marks a turning point for a community often overlooked in regional efforts. Speaking of overlooked, a dispute between UC San Diego students and a La Jolla landlord over withheld security deposits is drawing city hall’s attention, as students voice calls for better protections in the rental market.In real estate, we remain one of the priciest markets in the nation, with the median home price hovering around nine hundred thousand dollars. New luxury apartments on Park Boulevard downtown announce leasing today, but rental demand from students and newcomers remains strong, putting pressure on affordability from North Park to Clairemont.There’s also turbulence in the job market. Local hospitality and tourism are hiring ahead of Labor Day, adding roughly eleven hundred new positions, while tech layoffs create uncertainty for some in Sorrento Valley. Some bright news—Brady Children’s Hospital celebrates ten years by announcing new funding for pediatric research, a milestone for our medical community.Turning to public safety, the San Diego Sheriff’s Office reports two arrests in a violent road-rage incident near Calle Jules and Via Felicidad in Vista this week. In another matter, narcotics detectives made significant arrests in South Bay, where a man and a juvenile face charges after a months-long investigation. Meanwhile, San Diego police continue to investigate an overnight hit-and-run involving a pedestrian in the Mid-City area—drivers are reminded to stay alert, especially as rain makes roads slick.On the sports front, our Padres rallied late last night at Petco Park for a tight win over the Diamondbacks. In high school news, the Torrey Pines Falcons girls’ volleyball team swept their season opener and several local schools are gearing up for Friday night football under the lights.For community events, the Adams Avenue Street Fair returns this weekend, bringing live music, food, and family fun between Normal Heights and University Heights. Over in Balboa Park, the Museum of Art is hosting its summer night series with performances and outdoor films.We close with a heartwarming story. Volunteers from the nonprofit Somos Tías are stepping up to help San Diego families affected by recent immigration enforcement operations, delivering groceries and essentials to those afraid to leave home. Their compassion shines a light on community strength in challenging times.Thanks for tuning in and remember to subscribe so you never miss a beat. This has been San Diego Local Pulse.
