The housing picture remains genuinely contradictory: a $500 million Affordable Housing Trust Fund at the city level, construction underway in San Carlos, an approval in Logan Heights, and state-level legal protection for Midway Rising working through Sacramento all point toward production, while the Del Mar Fairgrounds collapse, an ongoing Sierra Club lawsuit over Otay Mesa Southwest Village, and persistent geographic concentration of affordable housing in inland neighborhoods point the other way.

Thursday will be warm across the county. Coastal communities can expect highs in the upper 70s to low 80s. Western valleys will reach the 80s and low 90s. Mountain communities around Julian may approach 91 degrees. Desert areas could near 111 degrees. A modest cooldown is expected heading into the weekend, but heat remains the practical concern through at least Friday for inland, mountain, and desert residents. Thunderstorm advisories in mountain and desert zones can develop quickly and should be monitored.
