South County Goes Full YIMBY<\/a><\/p>\n

By Jim Hinch | Voice of San Diego<\/p>\n

South County leaders are bullish on housing.<\/p>\n

In a series of candidate forums last week, including our own Politifest, candidates for mayor in National City and Chula Vista, along with San Diego City Council District 8 candidate Antonio Martinez, voiced strong support for high-density housing, public transit, walkable shopping districts and anything else that would lower housing and transportation costs for residents.<\/p>\n

The unified pro-development attitude contrasts sharply with ongoing battles in some North County cities against state housing mandates.<\/p>\n

Intense heat wave coincides with Climate Week.<\/a><\/p>\n

by Drew Sitton | Times of San Diego<\/p>\n

San Diego Climate Week, a collection of grassroots and sponsored events<\/a> all related to the environment, saw several events canceled this week amid a sweltering heat wave that is breaking records for local fall temperatures.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe irony wasn\u2019t lost on any of us,\u201d wrote Sam Hodgson, a spokesman for the volunteer-run week, in an email.<\/p>\n

The heat wave isn\u2019t the only environmental crisis bearing down on San Diego right now. The region is scrambling to prepare for a rare El Ni\u00f1o so intense that there isn\u2019t yet a name for it, and untreated sewage continues to flow through the Tijuana River, poisoning air along the border and rendering the Pacific Ocean unfit for swimmers. Then there\u2019s the simple everyday threats posed by floods and wildfires throughout the county.<\/p>\n

Mayor Pushes for Councilmember\u2019s Opponent<\/a><\/p>\n

by Scott Lewis and Will Huntsberry | Voice of San Diego<\/p>\n

Multiple sources have confirmed for the Politics Report that San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria has been pushing interest groups, including local unions, to reconsider their support of Councilmember Henry Foster if not outright drop him.<\/p>\n

He has described Foster\u2019s downfall to them as his No. 1 political priority.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s part of an ongoing surge of support for Foster\u2019s opponent Martha Abraham. We\u2019ve reported on the firefighters dropping Foster and throwing support to Abraham. This week, she announced the Chamber of Commerce was supporting her \u2014 and we\u2019ve learned the Downtown Partnership also jumped aboard.<\/p>\n
