Description
Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Saturday, November 30, 2024.

We start with breaking news from the past few days. A man was found shot to death in an alley in the Southcrest neighborhood of San Diego on Thursday, police reported. The investigation is ongoing, and we will keep you updated as more information becomes available.

In other news, voters in Chula Vista overwhelmingly approved extending Measure P, a half-cent sales tax, for another decade. This decision is expected to have significant impacts on local funding for various projects and services.

Moving on to the job market, we don't have any major hiring announcements or new job postings from top local employers to report today. However, it's worth noting that the California Association of Realtors announced that housing affordability in San Diego County improved slightly in the third quarter of 2024, which could have positive implications for the local economy.

In real estate, we don't have any notable commercial or residential property sales to report, but we do have some updates on new development projects. The city is working on various construction projects, including improvements to local infrastructure and public spaces.

From city hall, we have updates on decisions that affect daily life. The city is preparing for the holiday season with various events and activities planned across San Diego. Additionally, there are ongoing efforts to address public safety concerns, including high bacteria levels that have closed some San Diego County beaches.

Weather-wise, we are expecting a mostly sunny day today, with temperatures ranging from the mid-60s to the mid-70s. However, we are keeping an eye on a 'bomb cyclone' in Northern California, which could potentially bring rain to our area later in the week.

In new business activity, we have some exciting openings to report. The Rady Children’s Ice Rink at Liberty Station is now open, offering a fun holiday activity for families. Additionally, various holiday markets and events are popping up around the city, including the Gaslamp Artisan Market and the East Village Tree Lighting & Holiday Market.

Looking ahead to community events, there's plenty to do in San Diego over the next few days. Today, you can catch Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas at the Old Globe, or enjoy the Julian Country Christmas Tree Lighting in Julian Town Square. Tomorrow, don't miss the SDSU vs Air Force game at Snapdragon Stadium, or the San Diego Gulls home game at Pechanga Arena San Diego.

In local school achievements, Grammy-winner Andra Day recently visited Taft Middle School students, delivering some inspiring music news. And in sports, the San Diego Padres are looking forward to the potential signing of Japanese phenom Roki Sasaki in 2025.

For a feel-good community story, we highlight the efforts of local organizations providing free Thanksgiving meals to thousands in San Diego, ensuring that everyone has a place to go for the holidays.

Finally, in today's crime report, we have a few incidents to note. A driver fatally hit a man riding a bicycle in San Diego, and police are investigating. Additionally, two dozen motorcyclists were pulled over in a large-scale stop that shut down I-15.

This has been San Diego Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
