1+ hour, 9+ min ago (187+ words) SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Nearly 1,500 affordable housing units could be in the future for San Diego Unified School District employees, if the school board approves proposals Wednesday to develop on district land. The proposals, to be discussed at the 4:30 p.m. meeting at the Eugene Brucker Education Center, 4100 Normal St., entail using three developers for five properties. SDUSD anticipates receiving an estimated $504 million in revenue over 99 years from the five properties if the agreements are finalized as outlined in the proposals. "Building affordable housing, and the district retaining ownership of the land to collect annual lease revenue, strengthens our schools and the surrounding San Diego neighborhoods." The five locations being proposed are: Those locations and developers were selected through a process winnowing down 15 submissions. If an agreement on any location cannot be reached, the district can approach the second-highest scored proposer. The board…...

If we reach 100 first-time donors, we'll unlock additional funds! Even in Southern California, winter has a way of surprising people. On rare occasions, San Diego " famous for sunshine and mild temperatures " has been dusted with snow. Historical weather records indicate that only five true snowfall events have ever been documented in the city's recorded history. These fleeting moments briefly transformed the region into a winter landscape. While San Diego is known for its steady, predictable weather, these remarkable storms stand out as exceptions. However, flurries have appeared in nearby inland neighborhoods on other rare occasions. While the five events above are widely recognized as the official "snow in the city" record, other flurries have occasionally been reported, mostly in…...

Yn Sun, who goes by Sunny, was released from the Otay Mesa Detention Center last week after spending three and a half months in custody. She had another check-in with ICE on Tuesday. "It was really terrible over there, and it's a nightmare to me," Sunny said. Sunny has lived in the United States for 17 years and has worked as a server at the Westgate Hotel in downtown San Diego for 11 years.

13+ hour, 15+ min ago (639+ words) SAN DIEGO " Even with Rodney Rice sidelined, the USC men's basketball team has shown it has plenty of firepower. Chad Baker-Mazara scored a season-high 31 and Ezra Ausar scored 22 of his career-high 29 points in the second half before fouling out as USC used the second half to take control and beat San Diego, 94-81, on Tuesday night, bouncing back from their first loss of the season. "First half, you know, we turned the ball over way too much," USC coach Eric Musselman said. "Offense was just sloppy with the turnovers. Our shooting percentage was great, but we didn't get enough shots on goal. Credit to San Diego. Then in the second half, I thought we came out and played the way that we're supposed to again." Reserve Jaden Brownell scored 16 points and shot 4 for 5 from 3-point range for USC (9-1), which eventually stopped…...

15+ hour, 30+ min ago (199+ words) It certainly doesn't feel like December! It was a record hot day with a daily record high set in Chula Vista (84) and tied in Escondido (86), while Borrego Springs and Ramona were shy of their daily record highs by just one degree. I'm forecasting record highs on Wednesday in Ramona (86), Escondido (87), and Chula Vista (79), while we may be a degree or two shy in El Cajon, Palomar Mountain, and Alpine. These temperatures are 10 to 20 degrees above average! High pressure is keeping the storm track to the north and helping fuel this record heat while weak Santa Ana winds are helping bump temperatures up and humidity down. While we cool slightly by the weekend, temperatures will remain up to 15 degrees above average. This weekend you can expect highs in the mid-60s to low-70s at the coast, which isn't too far from what is…...

But both the selection process and the proposals chosen have drawn some concerns from the public, including about who could and couldn't live there, particularly at the largest site. By far the most ambitious project would be built at the site of current district headquarters, the Eugene Brucker Education Center on Normal Street at the edge of Hillcrest and University Heights. The proposal recommended by district staff, from developer Affirmed Housing, would see the development of 952 units " all of them rent-restricted for people who make between 30% and 100% of area median income, and most of them studios and…...

Despite outside interest, the Padres won't trade Fernando Tatis Jr., as they look to field the best team possible. So, what is the latest on San Diego's plans for the 2025 MLB offseason? The Padres are looking for more pitching, which seems to be more critical than their starting lineup, as said by San Diego president of baseball operations A.J. Preller on MLB Network. As of now, the Padres' rotation is headlined by Nick Pivetta, who is a significant downgrade compared to 2025. Dylan Cease and Michael King were the one-two punch for San Diego last season, but both will likely leave the organization this winter. In fact, Cease has already signed a contract with the Toronto Blue Jays, while…...

Surveillance and body-worn camera footage from Jan. 28 showed Konoa Wilson running away from someone who pulled a gun and fired at him in a downtown train station.

Wilson's parents sued the city and San Diego Police Department Officer Daniel Gold in connection with the teen's shooting death on the night of Jan. 28.
