Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Saturday, November first. We hope you had a safe Halloween last night. As we ease into November, our weather sets the scene for a beautiful weekend ahead. Stepping outside this morning, we’re greeted by some early clouds, but it quickly gives way to mostly sunny skies and highs in the low seventies. It’s perfect weather for outdoor plans or heading to one of our many community events today. Looking ahead, expect this sunny trend to last all weekend, making it ideal for beach trips, park visits, or any family outings.
Our top story this morning centers on the east end of the county, where San Diego’s Board of Supervisors is moving forward with plans to build sixty small cabin shelters for people experiencing homelessness. The cabins, designed for increased privacy and dignity, will go up on a vacant Caltrans lot at the corner of Troy Street and Sweetwater Road in Lemon Grove. The county’s investing roughly eleven million dollars into this project, and if negotiations go smoothly, construction could begin next summer. Some local residents have voiced concerns over the choice of location, especially since it’s close to homes and a new early childhood education center, but county leaders say this is a step toward addressing homelessness with compassion and innovation.
From city hall, there’s a reminder that additional vote centers have opened today for San Diego’s special election. Voters can cast their ballots at one of sixty-eight sites open across the county from eight to five through Monday, with longer hours on Tuesday. This election includes Proposition fifty, which could reshape congressional district lines, as well as a recall vote in Poway’s Council District two. Officials expect heavy turnout, so plan ahead, especially if you’re voting in person.
On the roads, Caltrans is closing the eastbound State Route fifty-six connector to southbound Interstate fifteen this morning until eleven a.m. If you need to travel through Carmel Mountain, be ready for detours and keep an eye out for road crews. This is all a part of ongoing improvement work to keep our highways safe and smooth.
Turning to new business activity, North Park is abuzz as locals welcome the grand opening of Pocket Press Cafe, a new spot on University Avenue focused on sustainable coffee and creative paninis. On the flip side, longtime favorite Casa del Taco in South Park closed its doors this week after nearly three decades, a bittersweet farewell for fans.
The San Diego housing market remains steady, with the average home price hovering near eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

On the jobs front, local tech and biotech hubs along Torrey Pines report a handful of new openings, particularly in IT, research, and lab support roles. The job market remains tight but stable, with unemployment holding around four percent.

For music lovers, INCenter Stage hosts a special event this morning—a live storytelling hour called The Next Wave, exploring the history of San Diego’s fishing community. That kicks off at ten thirty, with local musicians set to perform throughout the day in Little Italy and Gaslamp Quarter.
Our crime report shows a peaceful Halloween in most neighborhoods. However, police are investigating a series of car break-ins near Ocean Beach last night and are asking residents along Sunset Cliffs Boulevard to stay vigilant. County probation teams also increased checks in east and central San Diego, ensuring safety and compliance at homes with registered sex offenders, especially for families out trick-or-treating.
