San Diego Local Pulse: Opening Day at Petco, New Trash Fees, and Community Spirit

Published 4 weeks, 1 day ago
Description
Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Thursday, March 26. We kick off today with huge excitement at Petco Park, where our San Diego Padres host their 2026 home opener against division rivals this afternoon. Tickets are flying out the door for the festivities, live music, and player meetups that make gameday special. Perfect timing with sunny skies ahead, as we wake up to around 60 degrees downtown, climbing to the mid-70s by afternoon with light winds. No disruptions for outdoor plans, and it stays clear tonight with lows in the 50s.

Shifting to city hall updates, single-family homeowners are pushing back on new trash pickup fees after 106 years without them. Former Mayor Kevin Faulkner leads the charge for repeal, while low-income residents can apply for aid to ease the hit on daily budgets. Nearby, gig workers rally at 11 a.m. outside Petco calling for SB 1246 to regulate self-driving cars, a move that could reshape our streets and jobs.

On the crime front, San Diego County Sheriff's reports from the past day note a hit-and-run in Santee involving a juvenile on an e-motorcycle, under investigation by traffic division. No other major incidents in the last 24 hours, but we urge drivers to stay vigilant around Mission Gorge Road.

New business buzz includes the San Diego Opera launching Carmen shows tomorrow and Saturday at the Civic Theatre, blending culture with our vibrant scene. Volleyball fans, catch the San Diego Mojo wrapping their season soon after recent Major League matches.

Local schools shine too, with high school teams posting strong results in recent track meets at Balboa Stadium. For jobs, postings are up about 5 percent in tech and hospitality near Sorrento Valley. Real estate sees median home prices holding steady around 950 thousand dollars, with quick sales in La Jolla.

Looking ahead, community events feature an R and B Lovers Tour on Saturday, all ages with mature content. And a feel-good note: neighbors in Lakeside rallied to search for a missing hiker, bringing closure through their teamwork.
