THANK YOU!

>>> GET READY TO PAY MORE FOR PARKING IN SAN DIEGO.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

I'M MAYA TRABULSI.

STARTING NEXT MONTH, PRICES WILL INCREASE AROUND PETCO PARK DURING SPECIAL EVENTS AND PLANS TO CHARGE FOR PARKING AT BALBOA PARK ARE MOVING FORWARD.

KPBS METRO REPORTER SAYS THERE IS A LONG LIST OF MAINTENANCE NEEDS WAITING.

>> Reporter: FOR YEARS, SAN DIEGO HAS OFFERED FREE TRAM SERVICE THAT CIRCULATES THROUGHOUT BALBOA PARK.

THE CITY IS PLANNING TO EXPAND THE TRAM OPERATING HOURS THIS HOUR USING REVENUE FROM PAID PARKING.

IN OCTOBER, THE CITY PLANS TO INSTALL PARKING METERS ON SIXTH AVENUE AND PARK BOULEVARD.

SOON, CITY COUNCIL WILL ALSO VOTE ON CHARGING FOR THE PARKING LOTS.

AND THERE'S NO SHORTAGE OF IDEAS ON HOW TO SPEND THE REVENUE.

>> THERE IS THE DAY-TO-DAY MAINTENANCE NEEDS OF THE PARK RIGHT?

THAT DOESN'T EVEN TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE AT LEAST $500 MILLION THAT WE EXPECT IN DEFERRED MAINTENANCE.

>> KATIE McDONALD IS PRESIDENT AND CEO OF FOREVER BALBOA PARK THAT RAISES MONEY FROM PHILANTHROPISTS TO SUPPORT THE PARK.

THE GROUP OPPOSES PAID PARKING BUT RECOGNIZES THE CITY HAS TO FIND MONEY SOMEWHERE.

THE PARK NEEDS NEW BATHROOMS, TREE MAINTENANCE, THERE IS EVEN A FORMER LANDFILL ON THE EAST SIDE THAT THE CITY HOPES TO CLEAN UP.

SOMEDAY.

>> ROOFS ON ALL THESE BEAUTIFUL BUILDINGS.

IT'S ABOUT MAKING SURE THE STUCCO IS MAINTAINED AND NOT FALLING DOWN.

THERE ARE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF WORK THAT BILLABLE DISTRESS BALBOA PARK NEEDS.

>> Reporter: BALBOA PARK HAS ROUGHLY 500 OPEN REQUESTS.

JUST RELATED TO TRANSPORTATION ISSUES.

LIKE BROKEN SIDEWALKS AND CURBS.

>> VERY FREQUENTLY EVEN DURING DECEMBER NIGHTS, STREETLIGHTS ARE A BIG CONCERN WHEN IT GETS FAIRLY DARK.

SO THERE IS PLENTY OF INFRASTRUCTURE WHERE THIS REVENUE COULD BE UTILIZED TO IMPROVE THE PARK AMENITIES.

>> Reporter: THE CITY COUNCIL IS EXPECTED TO VOTE ON PHASE TWO OF THE PARKING PLAN SOMETIME IN THE FALL.

ANDREW BOWEN, KPBS NEWS.

>> PARKING METER PRICES WILL BE GOING UP NEAR PETCO PARK STARTING NEXT MONTH.

THAT INCLUDES RACE GAMES AND OTHER EVENTS EXPECTED TO DRAW MORE THAN 10,000.

THE NEW SPECIAL EVENT ZONES WITHIN HALF A MILE OF PETCO PARK.

TWO HOURS BEFORE A PADRES GAME, METERS WOULD GO UP TO $10 AN HOUR.

THAT PRICE LASTS FOR SIX HOURS TOTAL.

SAN DIEGO CITY COUNCIL SAYS THE GOAL IS TO REDUCE TRAFFIC CONGESTION AND GENERATE REVENUE FOR THE CITY.

>> WE ALL KNOW THAT WHEN THERE IS A SPECIAL EVENT THAT PRIVATE PARKING LOTS DRAMATICALLY INCREASE THE PRICE.

THE DEMAND IS HIGH, SUPPLY IS LIMITED SO THEY ARE JUST PRICES ACCORDINGLY.

AND SO THE CITY HAS NEVER TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THAT KIND OF APPROACH.

SO THIS IS A FIRST EVER ATTEMPT.

>> THE REVENUE FROM THE PARKING METERS MUST BE SPENT ON PARKING AND MOBILITY INFRASTRUCTURE WITHIN THE EVENT ZONE.

PARKING WILL STILL BE FREE FOR DRIVERS WITH DISABLED PLACARDS OR LICENSE PLATES.

THE NEW METER RATES BEGIN ON TO COVER FIRST.

>>> TONIGHT DROPPING DOWN TO THE MID-60s ONCE AGAIN.

WE WILL SEE A LITTLE BIT OF A ROLLER COASTER WITH OUR TEMPERATURES THIS WEEK AND THE OTHER THING YOU MIGHT HAVE ALREADY NOTICED IS THE WILDFIRE SMOKE FROM THAT SMOKE FURTHER TO THE NORTH.

A LOT OF THAT WORKING ITS WAY ALL THE WAY DOWN TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

I'LL BREAK DOWN WHAT TO EXPECT FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK AHEAD.

>>> THE MARINE CORPS HAS CHANGED ITS LONG-STANDING AGREEMENT WITH IN OCEANSIDE CREDIT UNION FOLLOWING A KPBS INVESTIGATION LAST YEAR.

SCOTT SAYS THE NEW CONTRACT IS MARINE RECRUITS CHOICE.

>> Reporter: OUR INVESTIGATION REVEALED FRONT WAVE CREDIT UNION HAS HAD AN EXCLUSIVE ARRANGEMENT WITH THE MARINE CORPS FOR DECADES.

FUNNEL THOUSANDS OF MARINE RECRUITS INTO THE UNION EVERY YEAR IN ORDER TO PROCESS DIRECT DEPOSITS FROM BOOT CAMP.

KPBS ALSO FOUND THEY RELY ON OVERDRAFT FEES CHARGED TO MARINES AND OTHER CUSTOMERS AS A KEY SOURCE OF REVENUE.

FOLLOWING KPBS REPORTING, A BIPARTISAN GROUP OF MEMBERS LED BY ELIZABETH WARREN LAUNCHED AN INVESTIGATION.

FRONTWAVE'S NEW CONTRACT REQUIRES MORE FINANCIAL COUNSELING TO NEW RECRUITS AND GUARANTEES RECRUITS THE CHOICE OF THEIR OWN BANK OR CREDIT UNION.

>> THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT CHOICE IS VALUABLE.

YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SELECT THE FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT THEY WANT TO WORK WITH.

>> Reporter: BILL IS A ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF ECONOMICS AT WILLIAM AND MARY.

THESE CHANGES WILL ONLY MATTER IF THE MARINE CORPS HOLDS FRONT WAVE ACCOUNTABLE TO THE AGREEMENT.

>> WE NOW HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE, DOES THIS MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

>> Reporter: FRONT WAVE DECLINED AN INTERVIEW REQUEST.

THE MARINE CORPS DID NOT RESPOND TO REQUESTS FOR COMMENT.

KPBS NEWS.

>>> PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS HE WILL NAME A NEW COMMISSION OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS IN THE COMING DAYS.

AFTER HE FIRED THE PREVIOUS COMMISSIONER OVER AN UNFAVORABLE JOB NUMBERS REPORT HE CLAIMS WAS RIGGED.

BRIAN HAS MORE ON WHY MANY EXPERTS ARE SAYING THE REASON FOR FIRING ARE BASELESS.

>> Reporter: PRESIDENT TRUMP OVER THE WEEKEND SAYING THAT HE FIRED EURO OF LABOR STATISTICS COMMISSIONER AFTER THAT JOBS REPORT BECAUSE HE "HAD NO CONFIDENCE" SAYING THE NUMBER SHE PUT AND NOT REPORT WERE "RIDICULOUS".

HE NOW SAYS A NEW HEAD OF THE BUREAU WILL BE ANNOUNCED IN THE NEXT TWO DAYS.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THAT JOBS REPORT.

THAT WAS THE ORIGIN OF THIS.

IT SHOWED 73,000 JOBS ADDED TO THE LABOR MARKET IN JULY.

AND REVISED NUMBERS SHOWING DISMAL JOB CREATION.

THOSE REVISIONS ARE WHAT THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS HE TOOK ISSUE WITH BEFORE FIRING THE HEAD OF BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.

REVISIONS HOWEVER, THEY ARE COMMON.

IN FACT, A SUBSTANTIAL AND DOWNWARD REVISION NOT LONG AFTER PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN DROPPED OUT OF THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE LAST JULY.

NOW, TRUMP HAS SUGGESTED WITHOUT EVIDENCE THAT RIGGED THE JOBS NUMBERS IN THIS MOST RECENT REPORT.

BUT A FORMER COMMISSIONER SAYS THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE.

>> THE COMMISSIONER DOESN'T DO ANYTHING TO COLLECT THE NUMBERS.

THE COMMISSIONER DOESN'T SEE THE NUMBERS UNTIL WEDNESDAY BEFORE THEY ARE PUBLISHED.

BY THE TIME THE COMMISSIONER SEES THE NUMBERS, THEY ARE ALL PREPARED.

THEY ARE LOCKED INTO THE COMPUTER SYSTEM.

>> Reporter: HE BELIEVES TRUMPS ACTIONS ON THIS UNDERMINE THE CREDIBILITY OF THE AGENCY FOR FUTURE REPORTS.

AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

>>> PRESIDENT TRUMP'S DOMESTIC AGENDA WOULD ADD MORE THAN $4 TRILLION TO THE FEDERAL DEBT OVER THE NEXT DECADE.

THAT IS ACCORDING TO A CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET ANALYSIS RELEASED TODAY.

THE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL WITH SWEEPING TAX CUTS BUT ACCORDING TO THE CBO THOSE SAVINGS ARE OUTWEIGHED BY COST.

THE INCREASED BORROWING WILL ADD NEARLY $720 MILLION IN INTEREST.

IT ALSO BALLOONS THE DEFICIT BY $3.4 TRILLION BY THE YEAR 2034.

AT A TIME WHEN DIGITAL MEDIA IS TAKING OVER PRINT PUBLICATIONS, THE NEW YORK POST IS EXPANDING OUT WEST.

THE OWNERSHIP COMPANY MADE THE ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY.

THE CALIFORNIA POST WILL BE BASED OUT OF LOS ANGELES AND WILL REPLICATE THE GOSSIP WRITING STYLE OF NEW YORK POST.

IT WILL INCLUDE NEWS, ENTERTAINMENT AND SPORTS REPORTING WITH THE GOLDEN STATE FOCUS.

IT WILL ALSO INCLUDE A DAILY PRINT VERSION.

>>> LIVED EXPERIENCE IS A NONPROFIT THAT TWO BROTHERS STARTED IN THE CHURCH BASEMENT AND TOOK ON THE ROAD BRINGING FOOD AND SERVICES TO NORTH COUNTY COMMUNITIES.

NOW THEY HAVE A NEW HOME AND KPBS NORTH COUNTY REPORTER SAYS THE BROTHERS HAVE BIG DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE.

>> Reporter: DREAMS COME TRUE.

A LONG TIME COMING.

SO WE STARTED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CHURCH WITH A SAME IDEA THAT WE COULD HAVE A SPACE TO INVITE LOVE, PEACE, OPPORTUNITY.

>> Reporter: USED TO ORGANIZE WARBLE FOOD-- MOBILE FOOD DISTRIBUTIONS AND A FREE LAUNDRY TRAILER TO DIFFERENT IMMUNITIES.

>> ONE DAY IN CARLSBAD, ONE DAY IN OCEANSIDE.

>> Reporter: NOW, THOSE RESOURCES ARE BEING OFFERED AT LIVED EXPERIENCES PHYSICAL LOCATION IN OCEANSIDE.

>> DO SOME LAUNDRY, SOME CLASSES, IT'S GREAT.

>> Reporter: ORTEGA SAYS HE AND HIS BROTHER WANT TO CREATE A COMMUNITY SPACE.

ESPECIALLY FOR THE YOUTH.

>> A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE WE DIDN'T HAVE FOOD, DIDN'T HAVE WASHER AND DRYER.

THESE THINGS MEAN A LOT TO US.

>> Reporter: THEY HOPE TO ADD MORE COMPUTERS AND RESOURCES FOR THE COMMUNITY.

BUT THEIR FUNDING HAS HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD.

ORTEGA SAYS THEY WERE EXPECTING A GRANT FROM THE LATINO COALITION.

BUT IT GOT RESCINDED IN THE LAST FEDERAL BUDGET.

>> WE CALLED OURSELVES THE RICHEST BROKE JUST NONPROFIT PAID JUST RIGHT BACK INTO THE COMMUNITY.

>> Reporter: THEY ARE RELYING ON COMMUNITY SUPPORT FROM PEOPLE LIKE HENRY.

A LOW LETTER BIKE ENTHUSIAST.

>> WE ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WAYS TO BUILD BIKES AND GET THEM OFF THE STREETS.

GET THEM TO DO SOMETHING POSITIVE AND SHOW OUR COMMUNITY CAN DO SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL.

YOU KNOW.

>> Reporter: THE BIKES ARE ALSO AVAILABLE FOR THE PUBLIC TO RENT AS A WAY TO GENERATE INCOME FOR THE CENTER.

AND THERE ARE SERVICES LIKE A DIAPER VAN.

>> IT'S VERY HELPFUL.

YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT PEOPLE ARE GOING THROUGH AND KNOWING THEY HAVE A PLACE LIKE THIS.

IT'S AWESOME.

YOU DON'T SEE THIS EVERYWHERE AND I FEEL LIKE BACK IN THE DAYS THERE WASN'T ANY STUFF LIKE THIS.

>> Reporter: THE CENTER IS OPEN MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY FROM 10:00 A.M. TO 8:00 P.M.

IN OCEANSIDE.

THE BROTHERS GOAL IS TO OPEN MORE CLASSES AND RESOURCES TO THE COMMUNITIES.

>> THE WAY WE SEE OURSELVES IF THERE IS POISON GIRLS CLUB, YMCA AND LIVED EXPERIENCES.

WE WANT TO BE A NATURAL RESOURCE CENTER FOR OTHERS AND SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR THE COMMUNITY.

>> Reporter: TONYA THORNE, KPBS NEWS.

>>> TONIGHT ON THE NEWS HOUR, TEXAS DEMOCRATS ATTEMPT TO DROP A TRUMP REDISTRICTING PLAN BY LEAVING THE STATE.

THAT'S AT 7:00 AFTER EVENING EDITION ON KPBS.

>>> A NEW DEVELOPMENT PROPOSED BY CITY OF SAN DIEGO COULD DRAMATICALLY TRANSFORM THE COLLEGE AREA.

IT IS THE FIRST UPDATE TO THE COMMUNITY PLAN IN THREE DECADES.

AIMS TO CREATE A MIXED-USE CAMPUS TOWN ATMOSPHERE WITH SIDEWALKS, BIKE LANES AND PUBLIC GATHERING SPACES.

IT WOULD ALSO ADD ROOM FOR UP TO 18,000 HOMES OVER THE NEXT 30 YEARS.

YOU CAN SUBMIT FEEDBACK TO THE CITY ON THEIR WEBSITE, SANDIEGO.GOV.

FOR OUR NEXT STORY, DO NOT ADJUST YOUR TELEVISION SET.

AS PART OF OUR PUBLIC MATTERS INITIATIVE, WE HAVE THIS SANDIEGO 101 EPISODE SHOP IN RETRO STYLE.

EXPLAINS WHY HOUSING IS SO HARD TO BUILD.

>> Reporter: MANY YEARS AGO WHEN NORTHPARK WAS AFFORDABLE, THIN DIEGO DIDN'T HAVE A HOUSING CRISIS.

IT WAS TAKING ROOT BELOW THE SURFACE.

MUCH OF THE REASON IT IS SO HARD TO BUILD HOUSING TODAY GOES BACK TO THE DECISIONS.

LAND WAS PLENTIFUL.

UNFORTUNATELY, THAT IS NO LONGER THE CASE.

THIS WOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE IF PEOPLE JUST STOPPED COMING HERE.

BUT FOR THE LAST THREE DECADES, THE REGION HAS CONSISTENTLY ADDED MORE.

TODAY'S HIGH LABOR AND MATERIAL COSTS, BUILDING REGULATIONS AND ANTI-HOUSING SENTIMENT, WELL, YOU HAVE A HOUSING SHORTAGE.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE HOUSING CRISIS?

>> I LOVE IT.

CAN YOU BELIEVE WHAT I GET AWAY WITH CHARGING THESE PEOPLE?

>> CHARGING COSTS MIGHT LEAD TO A POPULATION DECREASE.

BUT THAT WON'T BE ENOUGH TO GET US OUT OF THIS MESS.

>> WE NEED TO BUILD MORE HOMES.

TO DO THAT, WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHY THEY ARE SO HARD TO BUILD IN THE FIRST PLACE.

SAN DIEGO PASSED ITS FIRST ZONING ORDINANCE IN 1983 AND WAS A THINLY VEILED MECHANISM FOR RACIAL SEGREGATION.

THIS ORDINANCE STRONGLY FAVORED SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES OVER APARTMENTS AND TOWNHOUSES.

THIS WAS BARELY CHANGED OVER THE LAST HUNDRED YEARS.

WITHIN THREE QUARTERS OF THE RESIDENTIAL LAND IS STILL ZONED FOR SINGLE-FAMILY.

ON TOP OF THIS, SANDIEGO FACES UNIQUE CONSTRAINTS THAT LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO SPRAWL.

TO BUILD EAST OR BUILD UP.

AND SPRAWL HAS ITS OWN ISSUES.

SUCH AS WILDFIRES AND LONG COMMUTES.

THE TRUTH IS, IF WE WANT TO HAVE MORE PEOPLE ON LESS LAND WE NEED TO EMBRACE MORE MULTIFAMILY HOUSING LIKE APARTMENTS AND TOWNHOUSES.

WE COULD CHANGE ZONING LAWS TO ALLOW APARTMENTS IN MORE AREAS, WE WILL HAVE TO TAKE THAT UP WITH THE NIMBYS.

>> THEY ARE GOING TO BE BUILDING MORE APARTMENTS IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD?

IT STANDS FOR NOT IN MY BACKYARD, A NICKNAME FOR PROPERTY OWNERS WHO FEAR THAT HOUSING WILL REDUCE THEIR PROPERTY VALUES AND REALLY JUST COMPROMISE.

THEY HOLD A LOT OF POLITICAL INFLUENCE.

CONSTRUCTION COSTS HAVE SKYROCKETED FOR REASONS I'M SURE YOU'VE HEARD BEFORE.

SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES, LABOR SHORTAGES, TARIFFS, GENERAL POLITICAL UNCERTAINTY.

>> I'M FINALLY A HOMEOWNER.

IT'S JUST GOING TO BE ME, MY BOYFRIEND MY MY BEST FRIEND FROM COLLEGE, HER BOYFRIEND, THIS HORSE AND SOME GUY FROM CRAIGSLIST.

THE BEST THING FOR THE HOUSE IS ONLY 45 MINUTES FROM THE BEACH.

>> INTEREST RATES HAVE ALSO BEEN REALLY HIGH WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO GET LOANS TO BUILD STUFF UNLESS YOU ARE A CORPORATE DEVELOPER.

THIS MAKES IT HARD TO BUILD ANY TRULY AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

WITHOUT GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES, THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO DO IT.

PEOPLE WITH A LOT OF EXPENSIVE APARTMENTS IN THE SAME BUILDING AND USE HIGHER RENTS TO MAKE UP FOR THE LOWER RENT REVENUE ON THE AFFORDABLE APARTMENTS.

SAN DIEGO REQUIRES AT LEAST 10% OF APARTMENTS AND NEW DEVELOPMENTS BE AFFORDABLE.

BUT WE STILL HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO TO MEET DEMAND.

>> BUILDING REGULATIONS ARE IMPORTANT TO ENSURE NEW DEVELOPMENTS MEET CERTAIN COMMUNITY NEEDS.

BUT TOO MUCH REGULATION CAN SLOW IT DOWN TO A HALT.

CLASSIC CAPITALISM.

THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT HAS HELPED ENSURE THAT NEW BUILDINGS ARE MADE SUSTAINABLY.

BUT, IT WAS MASSIVELY OVERHAULED BECAUSE IT ALSO MADE IT EASY FOR ANTIDEVELOPMENT GROUPS TO KILL PROJECTS WHICH STUNTED HOUSING PRODUCTION ACROSS THE STATE FOR YEARS.

THERE ARE ALSO REQUIREMENTS LIKE PARKING MINIMUMS.

EVEN JUST A FEW SPOTS CAN ADD TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO THE COST.

OR THE DOUBLE STAIRWELL REQUIREMENT.

A FIRE SAFETY RULE THAT DOESN'T ACTUALLY MAKE THEM SAFER BUT IT DOES MAKE THEM HARDER TO BUILD A MORE EXPENSIVE AND UGLIER.

>> HOW WOULD HE DO THAT?

>> LET ME SHOW YOU.

>> TOTAL DEREGULATION CLEARLY ISN'T THE ANSWER.

UNLESS, OF COURSE, WE WANT A WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHER PROBLEMS.

BUT ADDING A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF FLEXIBILITY TO THE PROCESS COULD GO A LONG WAY TOWARD HELPING US MEET HOUSING NEEDS.

WHICH WE ARE CURRENTLY NOWHERE NEAR DOING.

THE IMPORTANT QUESTION HERE REALLY IS HOW DO WE GET PEOPLE HOUSED AND KEEP THEM THERE?

SIMPLY SUPPLY AND DEMAND.

WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH HOUSING AND WE NEED TO BUILD MORE OF IT.

IN EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE CITY WILL HAVE TO DO ITS PART.

CITIES CAN ALSO SAVE A TON OF MONEY BY HELPING PEOPLE PAY RENT WHICH IS FAR LESS COSTLY THAN PAYING TO GET THEM OFF THE STREET.

TENANT PROTECTIONS ARE ANOTHER TOOL FOR KEEPING PEOPLE HOUSED AND PREVENTING DISPLACEMENT.

THERE ARE ALSO A FEW QUARTERS OF THE MARKET THAT MIGHT BENEFIT FROM MORE REGULATION SUCH AS SHORT-TERM VACATION RENTALS AND CORPORATE.

>> I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE PRICE-FIXING ALGORITHM.

>> I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT PRICE-FIXING ALGORITHM.

>> CUT THE CAMERAS.

CUT THE CAMERAS.

>>> AND KPBS AND OUR PUBLIC MATTERS PARTNERS EASILY DID A DEEP DIVE INTO WAREHOUSING IS BEING BUILT AND WHERE IT IS NOT.

CHECK OUT THE SERIES AT KPBS.ORG.

>>> THE NAVY IS LAUNCHING A SAFETY AWARENESS CAMPAIGN TO CURB A TREND OF FALLING OUT OF WINDOWS AT MILITARY HOUSING.

DOCTORS TOLD OUR MEDIA PARTNER IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS, TWO CHILDREN HAVE DIED AND ANOTHER SURFER A CONCUSSION.

LORI IS THE MANAGER OF INJURY PREVENTION PROGRAMS AND SHE SAYS IN THE PAST TWO YEARS, 58 KIDS HAVE BEEN RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL.

>> IT IS SUCH A SIMPLE THING YOU CAN FIX.

LOTS OF EASY SAFETY DEVICES FROM YOUR LOCAL AMAZON OR ANYTHING LIKE ELSE.

>> FEW DETAILS HAVE BEEN RELEASED.

THE LATEST HAPPENED AT LIBERTY MILITARY HOUSING AND LEFT THEM WITH A CONCUSSION.

A SPOKESPERSON SAYS THE COMPANY IS DEEPLY SADDENED BY THE TRAGEDIES AND HAS BEEN WORKING PROACTIVELY TO STOP THE FALLS.

>>> TURBULENCE IS ONE OF THE MOST COMMON AIRLINE ACCIDENT ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD.

MORE THAN TWO DOZEN WERE HURT AFTER A DELTA FLIGHT HIT SEVERE UNEXPECTED ROUGH AIR.

HOW NEW TECHNOLOGY COULD HELP MAKE FOR A SMOOTHER FLIGHT.

>> Reporter: THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION SAYS TURBULENCE IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF INJURIES TO FLIGHT ATTENDANTS AND PASSENGERS IN NONFATAL ACCIDENTS.

WITH TENS OF THOUSANDS OF INSTANCES OF MODERATE TO SEVERE TURBULENCE IMPACTING AIRCRAFT IN THE U.S. EVERY YEAR.

EXPERTS WE SPOKE WITH SAY THE REASON FOR THE RISE IN THIS TURBULENCE IS WARMING TEMPERATURES ON EARTH.

25 PEOPLE TAKEN TO HOSPITALS AFTER A DELTA FLIGHT EXPERIENCED SEVERE TURBULENCE CAUSING SERVICE CARTS TO HIT THE CEILING AND FORCING AN EMERGENCY LANDING.

>> TODAY, THERE IS 41% SEVERE TURBULENCE IN THE SKIES OVER THE U.S. 55% MORE OVER THE NORTH ATLANTIC.

>>> PROFESSOR PAUL WILLIAMS IS EARTH WARMING TEMPERATURES ARE MAKING CONDITIONS WORSE.

THAT IS ESPECIALLY TRUE ALONG BUSY FLIGHTPATH WHICH ARE NEAR POWERFUL WIND CALLED JET STREAMS.

>> THE CLIMATE CHANGE IS WARMING THE AIR TO THE SOUTH OF THE JET STREAM MORE RAPIDLY THAN THE AIR TO THE NORTH OF THE JETSTREAM.

>> Reporter: THE CLASHING OF INCREASINGLY WARM AND COOL AIR IS CAUSING MORE FREQUENT AND MORE SEVERE CLEAR AIR TURBULENCE WHICH CAN'T BE SEEN ON RADAR AND ISN'T CONNECTED TO OTHER VISUAL CUES.

MEANING IT CAN SEEMINGLY HIT OUT OF NOWHERE.

>> A STRONGER JETSTREAM HAS MORE WIND SHEAR IN IT.

THAT IS THE WIND SPEED INCREASING WITH ALTITUDE.

AND MORE WIND SHEAR EQUALS MORE TURBULENCE.

SO THAT IS THE MAIN FROM TEMPERATURES TO THE JETSTREAM TO THE WIND TO THE TURBULENCE.

>> Reporter: BETWEEN 2009 AND 2018, FLIGHT CREWS HAD NO WARNING IN ABOUT 20% OF TURBULENCE RELATED ACCIDENT.

WILLIAMS HAS STUDIED THE TOPIC FOR MORE THAN A DECADE AND SAYS THE NUMBERS WILL KEEP GOING UP.

FLYING WON'T BE ANY LESS SAFE.

NEW TECHNOLOGIES COULD HELP.

FORECASTING MODELS TO EVEN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.

WILLIAMS AND OTHER EXPERTS WE SPOKE WITH SETH IN THE FUTURE THESE NEW TECHNOLOGIES INCLUDING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE COULD HELP WITH TURBULENCE.

RIGHT NOW, THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO TO STAY SAFE IS KEEP THE SEATBELT ON WHILE SEATED.

>>> WE ARE LOOKING AT A LITTLE BIT MORE ROLLER COASTER WITH OUR TEMPERATURES THIS WEEK.

A WARMING TREND STARTING TOMORROW.

THIS IS GOING TO LEAD TO EXTREME HEAT WARNINGS BY MIDWEEK FOR OUR DESERT REGIONS.

THAT'S GOING TO EXTEND A COUPLE DAYS THROUGH THE MID TO END OF THE WEEK BUT ALSO WE HAVE INCREASED FIRE DANGER.

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR DEALING WITH WILDFIRE SMOKE FROM SOME ONGOING FIRES TO THE NORTH AND INCREASED FIRE DANGER FOR SOME OF US IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AS WELL.

START OFF WITH TEMPERATURES FOR TONIGHT, IN THE LOW 60s ALONG THE COAST AND OCEANSIDE.

MID-60s IN SAN DIEGO.

AT 74 AS WE GET TO BORREGO SPRINGS.

LOOKING AHEAD TO TOMORROW, BORREGO SPRINGS IN THE TRIPLE DIGITS HERE.

75 FOR SAN DIEGO.

SOME COASTAL CLOUDS OVERALL BUT OTHERWISE LOOKING AT PLENTY OF SUNSHINE.

HERE'S WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT WITH THE SMOKE.

THE GIFFORD FIRE THAT IS IN SAN LUIS OBISPO AND SANTA BARBARA.

BUT THE SMOKE IS GETTING INTO PARTS OF MEXICO.

IT IS REALLY JUST HAZY SKIES.

NOT NECESSARILY AIR-QUALITY IMPACT.

BUT JUST A HEADS UP ESPECIALLY SUNRISE AND SUNSET A LITTLE HAZY.

THAT IS WHY.

THIS IS ALONG WITH INCREASED FIRE DANGER FOR MORE OF US.

THIS DOES NOT EXTEND ALL THE WAY TO THE COAST BUT A LOT OF OUR INLAND AND DESERT REGIONS ARE GOING TO BE DEALING WITH THAT MODERATE RISK FOR FIRE.

SO IT'S JUST THAT TIME OF YEAR.

YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE TAKING THOSE OPTIONS.

TAKING A LOOK AT OUR FIVE DAY OUTLOOK, A LITTLE BIT OF A TEMPERATURE ROLLER COASTER I WAS TALKING ABOUT.

NOT TO PRONOUNCE AT THE COAST.

WE GET TO 81.

FURTHER INLAND WE GET TO 85 BY THE TIME WE GET TO THURSDAY.

START TO EVEN OUT AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND.

TAKE A LOOK AT OUR MOUNTAIN REGIONS.

WE DON'T SEE TOO MUCH OF A WARM- UP DURING THE WEEK.

IT EXTENDS INTO THE WEEKEND.

YOU GET TO THE MID-80s BY THE TIME WE GET TO SATURDAY.

IN THE 70s FOR MOST OF THE WEEK.

BUT THEN IN OUR DESERT REGIONS YOU CAN SEE WHY THE EXTREME HEAT WARNINGS WILL GO INTO EFFECT MIDWEEK.

WE GET TO 115 BY THE TIME WE GET TO THURSDAY.

IT'S GOING TO BE HAZY BECAUSE OF THE SMOKE.

SUNNY AND HOT.

SO MAKE SURE YOU ARE STAYING SAFE.
