SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – In 2022, San Diego saw its highest crime rates in ten years. Dan Shea of the Lucky Duck Foundation says San Diego put roughly 1,500 low-level criminals onto the street during the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, police are powerless to remove them, even when they cause issues, says Shea. “Everybody thinks that homelessness is our number one problem in San Diego, ” said Shea. “I’m here to say I believe our number one problem are the criminals on the street.” “The streets of San Diego are horribly unsafe, and that’s because nobody’s taking criminals off the street,” Shea added.

SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – The San Diego coastline could be in jeopardy due to state pressures to increase housing availability in major cities. San Diego could face financial penalties if the city doesn’t transition more units from single-family homes into high-rises, according to city officials. Sacramento politicians have gradually eroded protections and zoning for single-family homes by signing SB9, a bill allowing single-family lots to be subdivided. Newsom and his fellow state leaders have also passed numerous laws making it easier to develop high-rise, multifamily units. Mayor Richard Baily of Coronado joined KUSI’s Lauren Phinney to discuss the potential impact this high-rise agenda could have on the landscape of San Diego.

SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – Moderate to vigorous exercise and daily walks can reduce the risk of developing dementia among senior women, according to a study by UC San Diego researchers published today. In Wednesday’s online edition of “Alzheimer’s & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association,” the team from UCSD’s Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science found that, among women 65 or older, each additional 31 minutes per day of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity was associated with a 21% lower risk of developing mild cognitive impairment or dementia. Risk was also 33% lower with each additional 1,865 daily steps. “Given that the onset of dementia begins 20 years or more before symptoms show, the early intervention for delaying or preventing cognitive decline and dementia among older adults is essential,” said senior author Andrea LaCroix, distinguished professor at the Wertheim School. Dementia is a “debilitating neurological condition that can cause loss of memory, the ability to think, problem solve or reason.” Mild cognitive impairment is an early stage of memory loss or thinking problems that is not as severe as dementia.
