Coronado beach closure lifted by county health officials
Above: KUSI report on Sen. Corey Booker touring the Tijuana River on Thursday, May 29. CORONADO, Calif. (FOX 5/KUSI) — County health officials have lifted the closure of Coronado's shoreline that was put in place over Memorial Day weekend. The ending of the closure was accompanied by the issuance of advisories for La Playa Beach near Lawrence Street in Point Loma and the water near the Coronado Lifeguard Headquarters due to bacteria levels that exceed state health standards. The entire western shoreline of Coronado — from Avenida Lunar in the south to North Beach in the north — was first closed on Saturday due to the flow of sewage from the Tijuana River Valley. The closure came on the heels of a period with worse-than-normal conditions for South County residents amid work to the sewage treatment system on the other side of the border. Sen. Cory Booker tours Tijuana River sewage crisis The repairs earlier this month to a critical line connecting the San Antonio de los Buenos Plant in Mexico to the South Bay International Wastewater Treatment Plant in the U.S. required the diversion of wastewater into the Tijuana River. When the repairs began, Mexican and U.S. officials noted the South Bay treatment plant would try to collect as much of the extra wastewater as possible, but it could lead to temporarily increased sewage flows. The work was completed last week and concluded with minimal sewage flows crossing the border, according to a post on X by the U.S. International Boundary and Water Commission, which oversees the South Bay treatment plant. With the lifting of the Coronado shoreline closure, the county's ongoing beach management actions have returned to what has become normal in recent years: closures limited to perennial problem spots close to the Tijuana River estuary, like Silver Strand and Imperial Beach. As of Wednesday, advisories due to levels of bacteria exceeding state standards are also in place for other area that regularly see health warnings like La Jolla Children's Pool, North Cove Vacation Isle in Mission Bay and the La Jolla Cove.

San Diego ranks third worst US city to find a starter home: report
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — For first-time homebuyers in the San Diego metropolitan area, the search for a starter home remains a steep uphill battle. According to a new report from Construction Coverage, an online publisher of construction industry research reports, San Diego, Chula Vista and Carlsbad ranked 52nd out of 54 large U.S. metros in its 2025 analysis of the best cities to find a starter home. The report, which evaluates more than 300 U.S. metros and all 50 states, combines data from Zillow, Redfin, and the U.S. Census to assess where young buyers still have a shot at homeownership. Factors included the availability of smaller homes, affordability relative to income, and the current rate of homeownership among people under 35. UC San Diego impacted by crackdown on student visas Key findings for the San Diego, Chula Vista and Carlsbad metros: Starter-sized homes dominate the market with 63.3% of homes having three or fewer bedrooms. Affordability remains a major hurdle. The median sale price for a starter home in the area is $825,397, based on this report. Monthly mortgage payments for these homes would consume approximately 66.2% of the median renter income—one of the highest rates in the country. These area's, ranking of 52 out of 54 large metros, highlights the ongoing challenges for young and first-time buyers in the region. Popular reality TV show to hold casting event in San Diego Nationally, the report shows a sharp decline in the construction of starter-sized homes. In the mid-1980s, one and two-bedroom homes made up about 24% of new single-family builds. By 2023, that number had dropped to just 5%, while four-bedroom homes surged to over 50%. At the same time, housing prices have outpaced income growth dramatically. Since 2000, inflation-adjusted home prices have climbed by 56.5%, while median household income has increased by only 8.5%, according to researchers with Construction Coverage.
