Here's your local news at a glance for Thursday, the 22nd of May.
Good morning, Oceanside.
Airbnb is using its anti-party technology ahead of Memorial Day weekend to block disruptive bookings by checking over 100 signals during the reservation process—this system blocked 350 bookings last year in San Diego to reduce large gatherings near short-term rentals.
Data from the Regional Task Force on Homelessness shows San Diego County’s count dropped by 7% from 10,605 to 9,905 in the January 2025 Point-in-Time Count—Oceanside saw a 9% decline alongside other cities, though officials say more work remains to help seniors and those living in vehicles. Officials credit targeted investments for the progress but emphasize that continued efforts are needed to address homelessness.
Residents voiced concerns during a recent City Council meeting about a controversial warehouse project set to be voted on by local officials.
The upcoming vote will determine if the development moves forward + community members worry about its potential impact.
