Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Friday, December 27, 2024.

We're starting off with a look at today's big event: the 2024 Port of San Diego Holiday Bowl Parade. This beloved tradition, now in its 45th year, kicks off at 10 a.m. along the bayfront in downtown San Diego. Over 100,000 people are expected to attend, enjoying unique floats, giant balloons, magnificent marching bands, and drill teams. It's a fantastic way to start the day before the Syracuse vs. Washington State game at Snapdragon Stadium later today.

In local job market news, San Diego continues to show resilience and stability. The unemployment rate remains at 4.7%, down from 5.1% in August. Professional and business services are expected to see significant job growth, adding around 45,000 jobs, followed by educational services and healthcare, which are projected to add about 33,000 jobs. This steady growth is a positive sign for our local economy.

Moving on to real estate, there have been concerns about rising rents and tenant protections. Imperial Beach is considering enacting tenant protections as institutional investors transform the city's housing market. Meanwhile, National City is taking on the Port of San Diego over pollution and policies that residents say are oppressive. These are important issues that affect many of our residents, and we'll continue to monitor these developments.

From city hall, there are no major updates today, but we're keeping an eye on zoning changes and property developments that could impact daily life.

Weather-wise, it's a beautiful day for the parade and other outdoor activities. Expect clear skies and mild temperatures, making it perfect for enjoying the festivities along the bayfront.

In new business activity, there are no major openings or closings to report today, but we're excited about the upcoming events in our community. The Holiday Bowl game and associated activities are expected to bring a lot of energy to the city.

In local school achievements, we're proud of our students who have been participating in various holiday events and charity drives. It's great to see our young community members giving back.

In sports, all eyes are on the Holiday Bowl game today. Syracuse and Washington State are set to face off at Snapdragon Stadium, and we're looking forward to an exciting match.

Finally, in today's crime report, there have been no significant incidents or arrests in the past 24 hours. We're grateful for the safety and security of our community.

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