San Diego Local Pulse: Drones Take Flight, Housing Debate Heats Up
Published 5 hours ago
Description
Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Friday, April 24.
We start with breaking news from La Mesa, where the city council just approved two million dollars in federal grant money for a drone first responder program at the police department. Drones will launch from their new real-time crime center on Sixth Street, giving officers aerial views ahead of arriving on scene for big events like Oktoberfest at Harry Griffen Park or the farmers market. Chula Vista pioneered this back in 2018, and now El Cajon, Oceanside, and Carlsbad have it too, helping us all stay safer with quicker responses while following strict privacy rules.
Shifting to real estate, selling a home here feels tougher than buying for nearly half our homeowners, who spend about five thousand dollars on upgrades. Agents like Matt Toby in Claremont say keep it simple, like a fresh white paint job and staging, to sell move-in ready spots in under two weeks, while fixer-uppers linger sixty days longer. Meanwhile, leaders propose taxing big investors renting out over ten single-family homes to help everyday buyers compete and ease prices, with voters possibly deciding in November.
Gas prices climbed another two and a half cents overnight to five eighty-nine a gallon countywide, up over a dollar since the Iran tensions started in February, so text gas to 858-571-8888 for the cheapest spots near you.
Crime stayed low in the past day, with no major incidents or alerts from San Diego police, though were watching the Maya Millete murder trial in Chula Vista for any delays.
City hall updates include recruiting poll workers for the June governors primary, paying one forty-five dollars a day to keep voting smooth at sites like Balboa Park.
Weather today brings mostly cloudy skies with highs near sixty-nine and lows around sixty, just thirteen percent chance of rain, so outdoor plans at Mission Bay hold up fine, though gusty winds hit eastern valleys like San Gorgonio Pass this weekend with fifty-five mile per hour blasts, so secure those beach chairs.
Tonight, catch Cheap Trick at Humphreys by the Bay or Poor Thing at the Casbah in Middletown. Tomorrow, live music kicks off at LandShark Bar in the Gaslamp, and impromptu drinks at The Shack in La Jolla from six thirty.
In feel-good news, the fabulous Fabulous Seven Motel sign on El Cajon Boulevard glows bright again after restoration, lighting up our East County history.
County poll workers needed too. Thanks for tuning in, listeners, and subscribe for more. This has been San Diego Local Pulse. Well see you tomorrow with more local updates. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.
