Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Friday, August 1, 2025. We start today with breaking news from City Hall, where the city has just announced an extra fifteen million dollars for affordable housing under the Bridge to Home initiative. Mayor Todd Gloria says this boost will ramp up efforts to make housing more accessible for everyone, with nearly six hundred new affordable homes already under construction across various neighborhoods. There’s even a new focus on making it easier for smaller developers to get funding, with a networking event set for August nineteenth—an encouraging sign for anyone struggling with rent or searching for housing around places like City Heights or Logan Heights.Weather-wise, we welcome a gentle start to August. The National Weather Service reports we’ll have a cool-down along the coast with variable winds, mostly clear skies, and highs in the mid-70s inland, closer to 80 if you’re in East County. If you’re heading to the beaches near Pacific Beach or Mission Bay, expect calm water conditions and waves around three feet. Some light breezes will pick up by afternoon, making it great for early morning runs or afternoon strolls.In business and real estate, we’re seeing steady hiring in downtown tech firms and new service positions, with local job boards listing around one thousand open roles this week—most in tech and healthcare. On the real estate side, prices are still high, but we’ve seen a slight increase in listings, with about twelve hundred homes currently available countywide. New construction in Barrio Logan and Otay Mesa is also drawing attention from first-time buyers.Let’s look at what’s coming up this weekend. Tonight, Taste of Imperial Avenue will fill Logan Heights with music, food, and a vibrant neighborhood spirit. On Saturday and Sunday, Art Walk Liberty Station celebrates its twentieth anniversary, featuring over a hundred artists showing off everything from paintings to jewelry. Sunday brings the twentieth annual Cardiff Dog Days of Summer, a free event perfect for families and their furry friends, with adoption opportunities and plenty of food trucks. For a nostalgic kind of fun, the Ramona Country Fair runs all weekend with rides, music, and games for the whole family.Turning to public safety, yesterday afternoon San Diego Fire crews quickly contained a small vegetation fire near Interstate 805, thanks to rapid action from local responders. Police report a quiet night otherwise, but urge everyone to stay alert for vehicle break-ins, particularly in neighborhoods near Balboa Park and North Park. On the education front, a few local schools in Alpine and areas east postponed classes yesterday due to precautionary power shutoffs, but everything is returning normal today. Meanwhile, a Point Loma High School science team just won top honors at a regional robotics competition, continuing a tradition of academic excellence.Wrapping up sports, the Padres concluded a whirlwind trade deadline, moving twenty-one players in a series of bold deals. Fans are watching closely to see how the new lineup will shape the rest of the summer at Petco Park.We leave you with a feel-good story: local artist Laura Spielman has partnered with the Rosie Project Foundation to bring art workshops to military veterans and students, creating healing spaces in neighborhoods from Chula Vista to Oceanside.Thank you for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe for your daily local news.
