Listen "San Diego Local Pulse: Airport Cuts, Officer-Involved Shooting, Scams Targeting Seniors, and More"
Episode Synopsis
Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Friday, November 7th, 2025. As we head into the weekend, we begin with breaking news impacting travel for so many of us. The Federal Aviation Administration confirms San Diego International Airport is among 40 major airports nationwide slashing flights by about ten percent starting today due to the ongoing government shutdown. Passengers are being notified about abrupt cancellations, so those with weekend travel plans should check with their airlines and prepare for changes. This move is meant to relieve overworked air traffic controllers, but it’s already causing frustration at Lindbergh Field and could ripple into holiday deliveries and local business schedules.Turning to public safety, the California Department of Justice is investigating a deadly officer-involved shooting involving the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office in Alpine near the intersection of Tavern Road and Alpine Boulevard. The incident occurred Wednesday evening and led to a heavy law enforcement presence. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the DOJ. Meanwhile, in La Mesa, police rescued a baby after a five-hour standoff near University Avenue—a tense situation but with a safe outcome.In city news, the Sheriff’s Office teamed up with the FBI and county elder abuse investigators for a major operation, focusing on scams targeting some of our most vulnerable residents. This crackdown aims to make sure our seniors are protected, especially as the holiday season approaches and scam attempts tend to rise.Let’s talk weather and its influence on our plans today. Expect patchy fog for the morning commute, then partly cloudy skies as we head into sunny and warmer conditions. Highs will push into the low seventies along the coast and mid-seventies inland. The marine layer will stick around most mornings this weekend, but by Sunday we’ll see clear skies and temperatures climbing up to the low eighties in some neighborhoods. Daytime highs are running nearly fifteen degrees above normal. King tides are peaking again just after nine this morning, raising the risk of minor flooding at Mission Beach and along the boardwalks. Beachgoers and morning walkers should watch for uneven sand and overflowing curbside puddles.Looking at our local economy, construction cranes are busy in East Village with three new apartment buildings breaking ground. Reports from local realtors say the average home price in San Diego has hovered near one million dollars for detached homes, but a slight bump in new listings last week offers buyers more choices than we saw this summer. On the jobs front, Biotech firm NovaGrowth just announced fifty new openings at their Sorrento Valley lab, giving a boost to our life sciences sector. And a new Latin fusion restaurant, Luna Azul, celebrates its grand opening tonight on Adams Avenue, adding fresh flavor and forty jobs to the North Park corridor.For community events, the San Diego Beer Week kicks off with tastings in Little Italy and throughout the city. The Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla unwraps its fall exhibit, open free to all county residents this Saturday. Meanwhile, National City saw a heartwarming act of service—the Church of Christ’s Care for Humanity gathering, where volunteers handed out care packages and city leaders proclaimed October 31 as Brother Eduardo V. Manalo Day in his honor. It’s a reminder of the strength in our diverse communities.Shifting to local schools, congratulations go out to the Hoover High Cardinals football team for clinching their first playoff spot in over a decade. In youth news, the Canyon Crest Academy robotics club just won first place at the regional championships, showing innovation and teamwork are alive and well among our students.On the crime front, aside from the tragic event in Alpine, police are asking residents in Pacific Beach to lock up valuables after a string of overnight car break-ins along Garnet Avenue. Increased patrols are planned going into the weekend.As we wrap up, one feel-good note to carry us into Friday. Down at Balboa Park, third grader Maya Hernandez led her classmates in planting fifty native trees as part of the city’s green initiative. Their energy and optimism remind us of the positive impact even our youngest neighbors can have.Thank you for tuning in and remember to subscribe to stay connected with the pulse of San Diego.
