Episode Synopsis

Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for January 1, 2025. We're starting the new year with a look at some of the key developments in our city.First off, let's talk about a new law that's going into effect today. The statewide "daylighting" law aims to improve safety at intersections by prohibiting parking within 20 feet of any marked or unmarked crosswalk. This means that drivers will need to be more mindful of where they park, especially in busy areas like downtown San Diego. The San Diego Police Department will be handing out warnings to violators for the first 60 days, and starting March 1, motorists who park within 20 feet of a crosswalk may be cited and fined $77.50[1].In job market news, we're seeing a variety of new job postings from top local employers. Indeed.com lists over 1,300 job openings in San Diego, including positions at the San Diego Police Department, UC San Diego, and local businesses like SDCCU. Some notable job postings include a Community Resiliency Fellow position, a Database Analytics Administrator role, and a Full-Time Teacher for the Visually Impaired[2].Moving on to real estate, we don't have any major updates on notable property sales or new development projects. However, we do know that the local real estate market is expected to continue growing in the new year.In city hall news, the Golden Hall homeless shelter has closed, and residents have been relocated as the city works to increase shelter capacity. This is part of the city's ongoing efforts to address homelessness in San Diego[5].Weather-wise, we're expecting a chilly start to the new year, with dense fog and strong surf along the coast. Temperatures are expected to remain cool throughout the day, so make sure to bundle up if you're planning on heading outdoors.In business news, we're seeing some new activity in the local restaurant scene. While we don't have any major openings or closings to report, we do know that the San Diego International Auto Show is back in town, and the Holiday Bowl Parade was a big success last weekend[5].Looking ahead to community events, we've got a few things happening in the next few days. The San Diego Padres are hosting their 2025 FanFest, and tickets are now available. We're also expecting a big turnout for the upcoming Veterans Day Parade and Salute to Service Festival.In local school news, we're proud to report that the Aztecs had a strong showing in the Holiday Bowl, despite ultimately losing to Utah State. And in a feel-good community story, thousands of Lincoln Strike Group sailors returned to San Diego for the holidays, bringing some much-needed cheer to local families[5].Finally, in crime news, we're reporting on a few significant incidents from the past 24 hours. A Feather Alert has been issued in San Diego County for a man who was last seen three months ago. We're also following a story about a grandmother who has been charged with murder in a San Diego child-abuse death case. As always, we urge everyone to stay safe and aware of their surroundings.This has been San Diego Local Pulse.
