THE PLAYGROUND, WALKING TRAILS, AND OUTDOOR THEATER SPACE.

THE SAN DIEGO UNIFIED SCHOOL BOARD STARTED TALKING ABOUT THIS IN 2014.

THEY WORKED WITH THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.

>> LIVING IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA I DO BELIEVE IT'S RIGHT FOR ANY CHILD TO GO TO SCHOOL WITHOUT LEARNING HOW TO SWIM.

>> Reporter: THIS COMMUNITY POOL HAS BEEN IN PROGRESS FOR YEARS AFTER ALL THE COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS TAKEN TIME TO FIND A BALANCE BETWEEN THE FUN AND THE FUNDING.

THE JOINT VENTURE WAS APPROVED BY SAN DIEGO VOTERS TO REPAIR AND RENOVATE AND REVITALIZE NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS.

THIS WILL BE USED BY STUDENTS TO LEARN HOW TO SWIM AND PLAY AND POSSIBLY TRAIN FOR THE OLYMPIC GAMES.

THE GRAND OPENING COMES TOO LATE FOR UNIVERSITY CITY HIGH SCHOOL SWIMMERS WHO WERE ABOUT TO GRADUATE AND WHO HAVE BEEN BORROWING LANES LATELY.

>> WE HAD TO BOUNCE AROUND AT A DIFFERENT COUPLE OF COMMUNITY WILLS.

I'M GLAD TO SEE THIS WILL BE USED FOR THE NEXT KIDS.

SHOWER CHANCES GET BACK IN THE NEXT WEEK AS WE WATCH A POWERFUL STORM SYSTEM IN THE WEST.

HEAT ADVISORY'S ARE IN PLACE.

BE READY.

IT WILL BE 55 FOR THE LOW.

TRANSITIONING INTO TOMORROW STILL THE SAME STORY.

JETSTREAM WELL TO THE NORTH.

EXPANDING AND TALKING ABOUT QUITE A BIT OF WARMTH FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.

AS WE GO THROUGH TOMORROW NO SURPRISE HERE.

85 FOR THE HIGH.

ESCONDIDO 95.

IT WILL BE PRETTY UNCOMFORTABLE OUT THERE GIVEN IT IS ALREADY APRIL.

THINGS CHANGED FOR SATURDAY.

MOST OF US GET TO TAPER DOWN AND WE AWAIT A COLD FRONT WHICH WILL BRING YOUR CHANGES HEADING INTO NEXT WEEK.

WE DO GET A PATTERN CHANGE WITH THE NUMBERS GOING DOWN.

FOR THE COAST YOU CAN SEE WE GO BACK INTO THE UPPER 60s ON SUNDAY.

SOME CLOUDS OUT THERE.

NOT A WHOLE LOT CHANGING FOR US AS FAR AS TEMPERATURES INTO MONDAY BUT WE WILL HAVE A FEW SHOWERS GET ADDED BACK INTO THE FORECAST AS WE KICKOFF THE START OF THE NEXT WORKWEEK.

INLAND COMMUNITIES WE CAN SEE SHOWERS ON MONDAY.

BUT THE TREND IS FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS A TEMPERATURE DECLINE FROM THE MID-90s TO THE LOWER 80s AND MID-70s BY THE TIME WE GET THE SUNDAY.

MATT McCUTCHEON'S LOOKING GOOD AS WE FALL BACK INTO THE 60s AND EVEN 50s BY THE THE TIME WE START OFF THE NEXT WORKWEEK.

MAYBE A FEW GUSTY WINDS.

THE DESERT COMMUNITIES IT IS A SLOWER FALL FOR US BUT WE DO START TO SEE THE TEMPERATURES GO DOWN BY SUNDAY.

>>> STATE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES PROTECT WHITE CALIFORNIANS LEAVING PEOPLE OF COLOR EXPOSED TO MORE POLLUTION.

THAT IS THE FINDING OF A UC SAN DIEGO STUDY THAT SUGGESTS SYSTEMIC RACISM COULD BE BEHIND THE INEQUITY.

RESEARCHERS FOUND DURING THE PANDEMIC LOCKDOWNS NEIGHBORHOODS WITH HIGH ASIAN AND LATINO POPULATIONS EXPERIENCED DISPARATE FORTUNATELY LARGE DECLINES IN AIR POLLUTION.

THAT MEANS THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE WHEN IT IS BUSINESS AS USUAL.

THE STUDY'S CO-AUTHOR SAID IT IS EVIDENCE OF PREDOMINANTLY WHITE NEIGHBORHOODS BEING FAVORED.

>> EVERYTHING RELATED TO TRANSPORTATION IS LAID OUT IN CALIFORNIA.

THE ERRANT TRAFFIC PATHWAYS, THE THINGS THAT AUTOMATICALLY CURTAILED.

THAT WHOLE SYSTEM AND GOVERNANCE OF THE EMISSION SOURCES IS REALLY TILTED IN A WAY THAT IS PROPORTIONATELY AFFECTED SPECIFICALLY HISPANIC AND ASIAN CALIFORNIANS.

ESTIMATE THE STUDY FOUND NO CHANGE IN AIR QUALITY FOR BLACK CALIFORNIANS DURING THE SHUTDOWNS.

RESEARCHERS SAY THIS SUGGESTS POWERPLANT ELECTRICITY GENERATORS AND OTHER EMISSION SOURCES THAT WERE NOT CURTAILED OR REGULARLY EXPOSING THESE POPULATIONS TO DIRTIER AIR.

>>> IF YOU THINK PRICES AT THE GROCERY STORE OR HIGH NOW JUST WAIT.

THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE SAYS YOU CAN EXPECT FOOD COSTS TO CLIMB HIGHER POSSIBLY ANOTHER 4 TO 5%.

AS FOR RESTAURANT PRICES THEY WILL LIKELY GO UP 6%.

THE HARDEST HIT IS BEEF AND VEAL PRICES.

THAT IS UP 7%.

EVIAN FLU IS ALSO CAUSING CHICKEN PRICES TO GO UP ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT.

FRESH VEGETABLES ARE EXPECTED TO SEE THE SMALLEST CHANGE TO THEIR CURRENT PRICES.

>>> THEY DO THEIR BEST TO STAY OUT OF SIGHT OF PEOPLE.

SO IT MIGHT SURPRISE YOU TO LEARN THERE ARE UP TO 1 MILLION FERAL CATS LIVING IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

IN ONE PART OF THE CITY THERE IS A UNIQUE PLACE THAT PROVIDES CARE FOR DOZENS OF THESE FELINES.

JOHN CARROLL TAKES US TO THE SANCTUARY WHERE CATS FIND HEALING WITH NOWHERE TO GO AND LOVE.

>> THIS IS OUR MAIN COTTAGE.

>> Reporter: CHRISTINA HANCOCK FOUNDED SHANTI'S HOUSE FIVE YEARS AGO.

SHE IS A LAWYER AND A CRITICAL CARE NURSE.

ONE DAY SHE TOOK A WRONG TURN AND FOUND HERSELF FACE TO FACE WITH THE FERAL KITTEN THAT WOULD CHANGE HER LIFE.

SHE NAMED HER CHANTE.

SHE BEGAN DRIVING TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD EVERY DAY TO FEED HER.

>> I DISCOVERED SHE WAS TIP OF THE ICEBERG.

>> Reporter: MORE THAN 60 FERAL CATS WERE IN THE AREA.

SHE AND A HANDFUL OF VOLUNTEERS STARTED FEEDING THEM, GETTING THEM SPAYED AND NEUTERED, CARING FOR THEIR MEDICAL NEEDS.

SHE SAID SHE KNEW THAT WASN'T ENOUGH.

THEY NEEDED A PLACE.

AND SHE HAD AN IDEA.

SHE CONTACTED THE OWNERS OF THE ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY AND PROPOSE BUILDING A CAT SANCTUARY BEHIND THE BUILDING AND SO CHANTE'S HOUSE WAS BORN.

>> THEY GAVE US THE SPACE.

>> Reporter: THE MANAGEMENT KNEW A GOOD THING WHEN THEY SAW IT.

>> THE RESIDENCE OF THE CATS.

WE WILL COME IN THE AFTERNOON AND ONE OF THE RESIDENCE WILL TELL US A STORY ABOUT THE CATS.

>> Reporter: YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING AT THIS POINT, WHERE IS THIS SPECIAL PLACE?

THE LOCATION IS A SECRET.

CHRISTINA HANCOCK SAID THE PEOPLE THE WORLD WAS SHE'S AFRAID THEY WOULD START BRINGING FERAL CATS HERE AND THEY ARE READY HAVE ALL THEY CAN HANDLE PLUS THERE IS THIS.

THE ABANDONMENT OF CATS OR ANY OTHER KIND OF ANIMAL IS A CRIME.

BUT FOR THE FERAL CATS WHO ARE LUCKY LOVE TO LIVE YOUR LIFE IS GOOD.

>> THIS ALL HAPPENED VERY ORGANICALLY.

WE BUILT THE FIRST CUT IS TO GET THEM OUT OF THE RAIN.

THEN WE WANTED A TREE HOUSE, A WATERFALL.

>> Reporter: THE SANCTUARY IS DIVIDED INTO A SERIES OF PAVILIONS.

EACH ONE AN OASIS OF CALM, OF HEALING.

WHEN IT COMES TO HEALING CHANTE'S HOUSE TOOK A GIANT STEP FORWARD A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO.

>> THIS IS THE NEW INFIRMARY WE BUILT.

>> Reporter: FOR THE CATS THAT DON'T NEED MEDICAL CARE THE VIBE IS STILL ONE OF HEALING.

SOFT SOOTHING MUSIC AND WHEN TIMES ARE IN THE YEAR.

EVERY NEED OF THE CATS IS TAKING CARE OF.

THAT MEANS DONATIONS AND VOLUNTEERS ARE ALWAYS NEEDED.

>> WE CAN ALWAYS USE FOOD, KITTY LITTER, AND VOLUNTEERS TO JUST CUDDLES THE KIDDIES THAT ARE TAME.

>> Reporter: WE DID NOT SEE MANY CATS THE DAY WE SHUT THE STORY.

THE CATS TEND TO SLEEP DURING THE DAY.

WE WERE ABLE TO CATCH A GLIMPSE OF SABINA WHO SEEMS TO BE WONDERING WHAT IN THE WORLD WE ARE DOING.

THINGS ARE ALWAYS CHANGING AT CHANTE'S HOUSE.

THAT IS BECAUSE THE GOAL IS TO ADOPT THE CATS OUT ONCE THEY BECOME TAME.

IF THEY REMAIN FERAL THEY CAN STAY HERE FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES.

CHRISTINA HANCOCK HOPES OF THE PEOPLE FOLLOW HER MODEL FOR A FERAL CAT SANCTUARY.

IF YOU WANT MORE INFORMATION OR TO MAKE A DONATION JUST GO TO THEIR WEBSITE, SUCH AS START WORK.

YOU ALSO SEE A LOT OF PICTURES OF THE FELINE RESIDENTS AND THE VOLUNTEERS WHO TRANSFORMED THIS PREVIOUSLY UNUSED AREA INTO THE PLACE OF BEAUTY AND LOVE THAT IT IS TODAY.
