THANKS FOR JOINING US.

I'M ELIZABETH SANCHEZ IN FOR MIA TRABULSI.

UNION LEADERS SAY ABOUT 5,800 SHARP NURSES AND HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS BEGAN A THREE-DAY STRIKE TODAY.

KPBS HEALTH REPORTER HEIDI DeMARCO SAYS SHARP CHULA VISTA WORKERS TOLD HER IT WAS A LAST RESORT.

>> UNION POWER!

>> Reporter: AT SUN RISE PICKET LINES BEGAN AT THREE HOSPITALS ACROSS THE COUNTY.

UNION MEMBERS ARE REPRESENTED BY THE SHARP PROFESSIONAL NURSES NETWORK.

THEY ARE DEMANDING BETTER WAGES, ADEQUATE STAFFING, AND MORE SICK LEAVE.

THEY SAY THOSE CHANGES ARE NECESSARY TO KEEP BOTH PATIENTS AND STAFF SAFE.

>> WE'RE STRIKING FOR MUCH NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS TO OUR WORK ENVIRONMENT, IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE FEEL ARE GOING TO ALLOW US TO PROVIDE BETTER PATIENT CARE TO THE RESIDENTS OF SAN DIEGO.

>> Reporter: ANDRE GATEWOOD IS A SPEAK LANGUAGE PATHOLOGIST AT SHARP CHULA VISTA MEDICAL CENTER.

HE SAYS MANY UNION MEMBERS ARE STRUGGLING TO MAKE ENDS MEET.

>> MANY OF US ARE BEING PAID WAGES THAT DON'T EVEN ALLOW US TO AFFORD A SIMPLE ONE-BEDROOM APARTMENT IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY, WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE.

>> Reporter: GATEWOOD SAYS IT TAKES TWO TO THREE MONTHS TO EARN ENOUGH PAID SICK TIME TO COVER A SINGLE SHIFT.

HE SAYS THAT FORCES WORKERS TO MAKE TOUGH CHOICES.

>> WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE TO MAKE THAT DECISION ARE THEY GOING TO COME IN SICK AND WORK, OR ARE THEY GOING TO BE DISCIPLINED FOR NOT HAVING ENOUGH SICK TIME IN THEIR SICK BANK.

>> Reporter: SHARP EXECUTIVES HELD A MEETING IN KERNY MESA.

THEY SAID THEY ALREADY OFFER COMPETITIVE WAGE INCREASES.

>> COMPETITIVE WAGES OF $160,000 GROWING TO 180 WITH THE MOST EXPERIENCED NURSES AVERAGING ANNUAL SALARY OF $225,000.

>> Reporter: SUSAN STONE IS SHARP'S CHIEF NURSING EXECUTIVE.

SHE SAYS THEIR PROPOSAL ALSO INCLUDES A MORE GENEROUS SICK LEAVE PLAN.

>> 70 HOURS OF PAID SICK TIME EVERY JANUARY, ALLOWING EMPLOYEES FULL-TIME AND PART-TIME TO USE THOSE HOURS AT THEIR DISCRETION.

>> Reporter: SHARP SAYS HOSPITALS WILL REMAIN OPEN DURING THE STRIKE.

MORE THAN 950 REPLACEMENT WORKERS ARE READY TO COVER SHIFTS THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING.

UNION MEMBERS SAY THEY HOPE TODAY'S TURNOUT HELPS PUSH THINGS FORWARD WHEN BOTH SIDES MEET AT THE BARGAINING TABLE IN DECEMBER.

HIDEO DeMARCO, KPBS NEWS.

>>> I'M ARULA SCOLIS, AND COMING UP TONIGHT UNDER A PARTLY CLOUDY SKY TEMPERATURES DROP BACK TO THE 50s.

BEAUTIFUL WEATHER FOR THANKSGIVING.

A LITTLE COOLER WITH MAYBE A SPRINKLE OR TWO THIS WEEKEND AND THEN A DRY AND NICE START TO DECEMBER.

IT'S ALL COMING UP IN THE FORECAST.

>>> REFUGEES ADMITTED INTO THE UNITED STATES SINCE 2021 ARE THE SUBJECTS OF ANOTHER TRUMP ADMINISTRATION POLICY TARGETING LEGAL IMMIGRATION.

KPBS MILITARY AND VETERANS REPORTER ANDREW DYER SAYS THE POLICY WOULD IMPACT ALMOST 200,000 PEOPLE.

>> Reporter: A NEW TRUMP ADMINISTRATION POLICY ORDERS A REVIEW OF ALL REFUGEES ADMITTED TO THE U.S.

DURING THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION.

IT ALSO ORDERS ALL REFUGEE GREEN CARD APPLICATIONS TO BE PAUSED, AND IT APPLIES TO REFUGEES WHO ALREADY HAVE GREEN CARDS.

NONPROFITS THAT ASSIST REFUGEES SAY THE POLICY WILL RETRAUMATIZE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE LEGALLY LIVING IN THE U.S.

MOHAMED RAHINI IS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF AFGHAN FAMILY SERVICES IN EL CAJON.

HE SAYS HE'S ALREADY HEARING FROM LOCAL AFGHANS ABOUT THE POLICY.

>> I RECEIVED CALLS, I RECEIVED MESSAGES NOT ONLY FROM PEOPLE HERE IN SAN DIEGO AND CALIFORNIA BUT FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY BECAUSE OUR COMMUNITY IS IN SHOCK RIGHT NOW.

YOU SEE A HIGH LEVEL OF ANXIETY, UNCERTAINTY, DISAPPOINTMENT, AND, YOU KNOW, WE JUST BELIEVE THAT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TURNED ITS BACK ON AFGHAN REFUGEES.

>> Reporter: THE POLICY WILL IMPACT TENS OF THOUSANDS OF AFGHANS BROUGHT TO THE U.S.

BY THE STATE DEPARTMENT, IT ACCUSES THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION OF PRIORITIZING ADMITTING MORE PEOPLE OVER DETAILED SCREENING AND VETTING.

THE INTERNATIONAL RESCUE COMMITTEE DISPUTES THIS.

IN A STATEMENT THE REFUGEE ADVOCACY NON-PROFIT SAYS REFUGEES ARE VETTED MORE INTENSIVELY THAN ANY OTHER IMMIGRANT GROUP, VETTING THAT GOES THROUGH MULTIPLE GOVERNMENT AGENCIES BEFORE THEY'RE ADMITTED TO THE U.S.

RAHINI SAYS THESE REFUGEES HAVE DONE EVERYTHING BY THE BOOK AND DESERVE A CONSISTENT AND FAIR PROCESS.

>> IT IS AN INSULT, AND IT IS A SLAP IN THE FACE OF THE MOST VULNERABLE PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY WHO CAME TO THIS COUNTRY LEGALLY.

>> Reporter: ON HIS FIRST DAY BACK IN OFFICE DONALD TRUMP ORDERED A HALT TO ALL REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT.

DATA FROM THE STATE DEPARTMENT SHOWS THE EFFECT.

ALMOST 38,000 REFUGEES WERE ADMITTED TO THE U.S.

DURING THE LAST FOUR MONTHS OF THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION.

AS OF LAST MONTH THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION HAS ADMITTED 506, MOST OF WHICH ARE WHITE SOUTH AFRICANS.

ANDREW DYER, KPBS NEWS.

>>> CALIFORNIA'S ATTORNEY GENERAL IS ONE OF NEARLY TWO DOZEN DEMOCRATIC A.G.

'S SUING THE USDA OVER CHANGES TO S.N.A.P.

ELIGIBILITY.

LAST MONTH USDA ISSUED NEW GUIDANCE DECLARING SOME INDIVIDUALS INELIGIBLE FOR S.N.A.P.

BENEFITS.

THAT ALSO INCLUDES REFUGEES AND THOSE GRANTED ASYLUM.

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL ARGUES THE MEMO GOES BEYOND WHAT THE LAW PRESCRIBES.

THEY ALSO SAY IT COULD PUT SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL STRAIN ON STATES THAT WOULD HAVE TO SHOULDER THE COST OF FINES.

A SPOKESPERSON FOR USDA SAYS THEY DO NOT COMMENT ON PENDING LITIGATION.

>>> WHEN PEOPLE GET DEPORTED YOU MIGHT WONDER WHAT HAPPENS TO THEIR PETS?

COMING UP, THE SAN DIEGO HUMANE SOCIETY SHARES THE STORY OF ONE DOG LOOKING FOR A NEW HOME.

>>>EN AN ELECTRONIC ROAD SIGN IN ENCINITAS WAS TAMPERED WITH TO DISPLAY RUDE MESSAGES.

KPBS REPORTER ALEXANDRIA WINN SAYS THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME IT'S HAPPENED, AND NOW THE CITY IS CLAMPING DOWN ON IT.

>> Reporter: THIS IS WHAT THE ELECTRONIC SIGN NEAR QUAIL GARDENS DRIVE SAYS NORMALLY, WARNING DRIVERS OF ROADWORK AHEAD.

BUT FOR A SHORT TIME LAST WEEK IT WAS REPROGRAMMED WITH MESSAGES THAT WERE RUDE AND EVEN OBSCENE.

>> IT MENTIONED A BODY PART AND THINGS LIKE THAT ON ONE OF THEM.

YEAH, AND THAT'S JUST NOT ACCEPTABLE.

>> Reporter: ENCINITAS MAYOR BRUCE ELLIS SAYS IT WAS PROBABLY A PRANK, BUT PRANKS HAVE THE POSSIBILITY OF GOING WRONG.

>> IT TAKES AWAY FROM THE FUNCTIONALITY OF HAVING THOSE SIGNS THERE.

>> Reporter: THAT FUNCTIONALITY INCLUDES TELLING DRIVERS TO STAY SAFE AND SLOW DOWN.

THE CITY INSTALLED A DOZEN OR SO OF THESE VARIABLE MESSAGE SIGNS AT DIFFERENT INTERSECTIONS AFTER SEVERAL HIGH PROFILE CRASHES INCLUDING ONE THAT KILLED A 12-YEAR-OLD GIRL.

>> CERTAINLY WHEN YOU'RE PRANKING AND IN TRAFFIC SITUATIONS, THAT CAN HAVE DIRE IMPACT.

>> Reporter: HE SAYS THE SIGN WASN'T OWNED BY THE CITY.

IT WAS PROVIDED BY A THIRD-PARTY CONTRACTOR.

HE SAYS THIS WAS THE FOURTH TIME IN THREE MONTHS THESE VARIABLE MESSAGE SIPS HAVE BEEN TAMPERED WITH, AND HE DOESN'T WANT IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN.

>> OBVIOUSLY WE'RE UPGRADING ALL OF OURS IMMEDIATELY, AND WE'RE GOING TO PUT A REQUIREMENT ON ALL THE CONTRACTORS THAT THEY LOCK THEM DOWN BETTER AND THAT THEY TAKE OTHER MEASURES TO PREVENT ANYBODY FROM BREAKING INTO THEM.

>> Reporter: WE CHECKED OUT THE SIGN THAT HAD BEEN TAMPERED WITH.

THE NEW LOCK IS THE SAME KIND AS THE ONE THAT HAD BEEN BROKEN OFF.

ALEXANDER WINN, KPBS NEWS.

>> WELL, IT'S ALMOST EASY TO BUY ALMOST ANYTHING WITH JUST ONE CLICK OR TAP.

NOW TECH COMPANIES ARE BEGINNING TO ENTER A NEW ONLINE SHOPPING BATTLE CENTERED AROUND A.I.

IVAN RODRIGUEZ REPORTS ON THE RACE TO ADD A.I.-POWERED SHOPPING TOOLS.

>> Reporter: WITH CONSUMERS INCREASINGLY USING A.I.

TO MAKE PURCHASES, EXPERTS SAY COMPANIES LIKE AMAZON AND GOOGLE ARE TRYING TO STAY AHEAD OF UPSTARTS LIKE OPEN A.I.

AND PERPLEXITY.

>> THERE ARE A LOT OF DIFFERENT BIG TECH COMPANIES THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WHO ARE TRYING TO LEVERAGE A.I.

>> Reporter: FOR EXAMPLE, AS OF SEPTEMBER, U.S.-BASED USERS CAN BUYETSY PRODUCTS DIRECTLY FROM OPEN A.I.

'S CHATGPT.

OPEN A.I.

AND WAL-MART ANNOUNCED A SIMILAR PARTNERSHIP IN OCTOBER.

PERPLEXITY'S COMMENT WEB BROWSER LETS USERS SET UP A.I.

AGENTS TO HANDLE TASKS LIKE SHOPPING ON AMAZON.

LAST MONTH AMAZON SENT A CEASE AND DESIST LETTER TO THE A.I.

STARTUP.

FOR JEREMY GOLDMAN IT'S A SIGN AN A.I.

BATTLE IS BLOOMING.

>> AMAZON IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST PLAYERS SURPRISELY IN THIS REGARD.

ONE THING THEY'RE TRYING TO DO QUITE A LOT OF IS FACILITATE EXTRA TRANSACTIONS AND TO REDUCE THE FRICTION FOR THE CONSUMER.

>> Reporter: A.I.

AND ONLINE AGENTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE INVOLVED IN $73 BILLION OF GLOBAL ONLINE SALES OR 22% OF ALL ORDERS PLACED FROM TUESDAY THROUGH CYBER MONDAY, ACCORDING TO SALESFORCE DATA PROVIDED EXCLUSIVELY TO CNN.

RECENTLY GOOGLE ANNOUNCED NEW A.I.

SHOPPING FEATURES INCLUDING AN A.I.

AGENT ABLE TO CALL LOCAL STORES AND ASK IF A PRODUCT IS IN STOCK ALONG WITH INFORMATION ABOUT PROMOTIONS AND PRICING.

WITH ALL THE NEW A.I.

TOOLS, GOLDMAN SAYS CONSUMERS WILL NEED TIME TO ADAPT.

>> AT ONE POINT THE IDEA OF CLICKING AN AD ON GOOGLE AND CLICKING THROUGH AND THEN TRANSACTING, THAT WAS STRANGE TO PEOPLE.

AND NOW THAT'S SOMETHING PEOPLE DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT.

>> Reporter: IN ATLANTA, I'M IVAN RODRIGUEZ.

>>> FATHER JOE'S VILLAGES STARTED THE HOLIDAY CELEBRATIONS A LITTLE EARLY TODAY.

VOLUNTEERS DISHED OUT FOOD FOR THE ANNUAL THANKSGIVING DINNER LUNCHEON.

THE ORGANIZATION TOLD OUR MEDIA PARTNER, KGTV, THEY EXPECTED TO FEED MORE THAN 1,000 PEOPLE THIS YEAR.

THAT'S MORE THAN LAST YEAR.

>> INFLATION HAS BEEN GOING UP, SO THE ECONOMY IS REALLY PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN HANGING ON THATHEIR FINGERNAILS.

THEY WOULD HAVE NEVER EXPECTED THAT.

SO THE LINE IS EVEN LONGER THIS YEAR THAN IN PAST YEARS.

OUR FOOD PANTRY, WHICH WE HAVE ONCE A WEEK, IS INDICATING THAT AS WELL.

>> AND VOLUNTEERS SERVED UP 170 TURKEYS, 450 POUNDS OF POTATOES, AND 400 POUNDS OF GREEN BEANS.

>>> THE HOLIDAYS ARE A TIME THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE FILLED WOULD JOY, BUT FOR MANY FAMILY, FRIENDS, OR EVEN WORTH GATHERINGS CAN BRING STRESS, GUILT, AND PRESSURE TO PLEASE EVERYONE.

MICHAEL YOSHIDA TALKED ABOUT WAYS TO PROTECT YOUR PEACE THIS HOLIDAY SEASON.

>> Reporter: AS MANY HOLLYWOOD FILMS SHOW.

>> NO POLITICS ON THANKSGIVING.

>> Reporter: HEADING HOME FOR THE HOLIDAY.

>> IF I MIGHT MAKE MY OWN POINT.

>> Reporter: CAN TURN INTO A TIME OF STRESS AND EMOTIONAL OUTBURST.

>> I THINK WE'VE ALL EXPERIENCED THAT.

ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU'RE LIKE WHY AM I BEING A JERK.

>> Reporter: LIFE COACH BAY SAYS GATHERING WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS CAN TRIGGER CODEPENDENCY AND PEOPLE PLEASING HABITS LEADING TO ANXIETY AND NOT ACTING LIKE YOURSELF.

>> IT'S A LOT OF PRESSURE ON US TO BE WHO WE HAVE COME TO BE THEY WANT US TO BE AND NOT NECESSARILY TO BE OURSELVES.

>> Reporter: PLANNING AHEAD AND UNDERSTANDING WHAT'S LIKELY TO HAPPEN AND HOW YOU'LL REACT OR RESPOND CAN HELP.

GETTING YOUR MIND-SET AS WELL AS YOUR BODY'S NERVOUS SYSTEM BALANCED AND READY FOR WHAT MAY BE THROWN YOUR WAY.

>> IF YOU WALK IN DISREGULATED, MEANING YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM IS A HOT MESS, YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM THINKS YOU'RE 13 AND NOT 33 OR 43, THEN EVERY LITTLE COMMENT IS GOING TO FEEL LIKE DEATH BY A THOUSAND CUTS.

>> Reporter: SHE OFFERS THIS FOR CALMING YOUR NERVES.

>> SIMPLY LOOKING AROUND AND NAMING THE THINGS YOU CAN SEE, AND I LIKE TO ADD A PHRASE THAT'S SUPPORTIVE.

FOR ME IT'S "I AM SAFE ENOUGH."

>> Reporter: AND FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS WHO ALWAYS SEEM TO MAKE A COMMENT, TRY THIS.

>> PRACTICE SAYING OH, AND LIKE LEGIT LEAVE IT HANGING THERE.

AND THAT STARE, THAT MOMENT OF I'M NOT ENGAGING OF I'M NOT ENGAGING ANY FURTHER IS A QUIET AND SIMPLE WAY TO STAY ON YOUR SIDE OF THE STREET IN YOUR DIGNITY, IN YOUR INTEGRITY.

>>> THE COLLEGE AREA'S COMMUNITY PLAN COULD RECEIVE ITS FIRST UPDATE IN OVER 30 YEARS.

I-NEWS SOURCE INTERN ROMY ALARIAN BREAKS DOWN WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THE PROPOSAL.

>> Reporter: DOUBLING THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF HOMES, INCREASING DENSITY IN SOME AREAS, PEDESTRIAN-FRIENDLY IMPROVEMENTS.

THE CITY'S LATEST PLAN FOR DEVELOPMENT IN THE COLLEGE AREA COULD RESHAPE NEIGHBORHOODS NEAR SAN DIEGO STATE FOR DECADES TO COME.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAS ALREADY APPROVED THE PROPOSAL.

NOW IT MOVES ONTO THE FULL CITY COUNCIL.

>> WHAT THIS PLAN DOES SIMILAR TO OTHER BUILT OUT NEIGHBORHOODS, HILLCREST I THINK IS A GOOD EXAMPLE IS WE'RE LOOKING AT THE SUPPLEMENTAL DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS THAT WE USE IN HILLCREST THAT WE THINK WILL BE SUCCESSFUL.

>> Reporter: OFFICIALS SAY THE PROPOSAL IS IN RESPONSE TO THE AREA'S GROWTH AS IT'S SHIFTED INTO A MAJOR UNIVERSITY SINCE THE PLAN WAS LAST UPDATED IN 1989.

IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT HOUSING.

THE PLAN ALSO HOPES TO ADD A MIXED USE VILLAGE NEAR THE CAMPUS, EXPANDED BIKE ROUTES, TRANSIT LANES, A RECREATION CENTER ON CITY OWNED PROPERTY AND MORE.

THE CITY CAN'T MANDATE DEVELOPMENT, BUT IT HOPES THIS WILL UPDATE HOUSING.

THE PLAN HAS DRAWN OPPOSITION FROM RESIDENTS.

SOME WANT LESS UP ZONING AND MORE FOCUS ON INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS.

THEY ALSO SAY THEY WANT MORE SPECIFICS ON HOW THE PLAN WOULD HANDLE PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICES.

COMMISSIONER FARA MAZARI RAISED CONCERNS.

>> ENVISIONING SO MUCH NEW DEVELOPMENT NEAR TRANSIT BUT MAYBE THOSE PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO USE TRANSIT BECAUSE IT DOESN'T GO WHERE THEY WANT TO GO.

>> Reporter: COUNCIL MEMBERS ARE EXPECTED TO VOTE ON THE PLAN IN DECEMBER.

FOR KPBS, I'M I-NEWS SOURCE INTERN ROMI ALARIAN.

>> I-NEWS SOURCE IS AN INDEPENDENTLY FUNDED PARTNER OF KPBS.

THIS STORY IS PART OF OUR PUBLIC MATTERS PARTNERSHIP.

>>> I'M NICK SHIFFRIN.

TONIGHT ON THE NEWS HOUR, TWO NATIONAL GUARD MEMBERS ARE SHOT IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

WHERE THEY'VE BEEN DEPLOYED UNDER THE PRESIDENT'S EMERGENCY ORDER.

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

>>> WELL, WHAT HAPPENS TO THE PET WHEN A PET OWNER IS DEPORTED?

THAT'S A SITUATION MANY SAN DIEGANS ARE FINDING THEMSELVES IN RIGHT NOW.

KPBS REPORTER GUSTAVO SOLIS BRINGS US THIS DISPATCH FROM THE SAN DIEGO HUMANE SOCIETY'S ESCONDIDO CAMPUS.

>> Reporter: SO A COUPLE MONTHS AGO I READ THIS STORY OUT OF MIAMI ABOUT HOW ANIMAL SHELTERS THERE HAVE NOTICED ABOUT HOW FOLKS BEING DEPORTED, THEY'RE DROPPING OFF THEIR ANIMALS, THEIR PETS OFF AT THE SHELTER.

AND THAT GOT ME THINKING WHETHER THAT'S HAPPENING HERE IN SAN DIEGO, AND IT IS.

WE REACHED OUT TO THE FOLKS AT THE SAN DIEGO HUMANE SOCIETY.

WE'RE HERE AT THEIR ESCONDIDO CAMPUS, AND WE'RE GOING TO TALK TO EXPERTS ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE SEEING AND I THINK IMPORTANT FOR THE VIEWERS TIPS YOU CAN USE, A BIT OF ADVICE.

IF YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT DEPORTATIONS OR A FRIEND OR RELATIVE IS WORRIED AND WHAT TO DO WITH THEIR PETS, HOPEFULLY WE'VE GOT TIPS TO HELP YOU PREPARE FOR THE SITUATION.

SO LET'S GO MEET WITH EXPERTS AND FIND OUT WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY.

RIGHT NOW WE'RE ABOUT TO MEET ONE OF THE DOGS DROPPED IN BY ONE OF THE FAMILY'S IMPACTED BY TRUMP'S DEPORTATION POLICIES.

HELLO.

>> HI, COME ON IN.

>> THANK YOU.

>> MY NAME IS NINA THOMPSON.

I'M THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC RELATIONS HERE AT SAN DIEGO HUMANE SOCIETY.

>> Reporter: WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT PETS THE HUMANE SOCIETY HAS RECEIVED FROM FAMILIES IMPACTED BY DEPORTATIONS?

>> YEAH, SO FAR WHAT WE KNOW WE HAVE HAD NINE PETS COME INTO OUR CARE, FIVE DIFFERENT OWN, FIVE DIFFERENT CASES.

BUT THERE COULD BE MORE BECAUSE IT'S SUCH A SENSITIVE SITUATION THAT IT MAY BE THAT WE HAVE PETS IN OUR CARE AND WE DON'T KNOW THE FULL STORY.

THIS SWEET GIRL HER NAME IS KATA.

SHE CAME INTO OUR CARE IN OCTOBER, AND SHE WAS BROUGHT IN BY A NEIGHBOR WHO REPORTED THAT THEIR NEIGHBOR HAD BEEN DEPORTED.

KATA, SHE'S ABOUT 4 YEARS OLD.

SHE'S A HEELER PITBULL MIX, I THINK.

SHE'S VERY SMART, BUT SHE'S A LITTLE BIT SHY, SO SHE'S BEEN WORKING WITH OUR STAFF.

CHRISTINA IS GIVING HER TREATS TO MAKE HER FEEL BETTER, BUT SHE'S A LOVELY GIRL THAT JUST NEEDS THAT SECOND CHANCE.

I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT IT'S LIKE FOR HER.

HER WHOLE LIFE CHANGED WITHIN JUST A FEW MOMENTS, AND THEN NOW SHE'S HERE AT THE SHELTER.

BECAUSE WE ARE SO FULL, IT'S ALSO EXTREMELY HARD FOR US TO GET EACH AND EVERY PET NOTICED.

>> Reporter: FOR FOLKS WHO ARE IN THIS SITUATION OR FEAR THEY MIGHT BE IN THIS SITUATION, WHAT CAN THEY DO TO PREPARE FOR WHAT TO DO WITH THEIR PET, IF UNFORTUNATELY, THEY'RE FORCED TO MAKE A TOUGH DECISION ABOUT LIVING IN THIS COUNTRY?

>> YEAH.

IT MUST BE INCREDIBLY HEART BREAKING TO COME TO THIS POINT, BUT WE DO ENCOURAGE ANYONE WHO THINKS THAT THEY MIGHT BE IN THIS SITUATION TO HAVE A PLAN.

JUST THAT OUR ESCONDIDO CAMPUS HERE WE'RE AT 173% CAPACITY FOR DOGS.

>> Reporter: WOW.

>> SO WE'RE FULL.

THERE'S TWO DOGS IN MOST KENNELS.

AND SO WE'LL NEVER TURN AN ANIMAL AWAY, BUT THIS IS NOT A GREAT PLACE FOR A PET TO BE.

IT'S BETTER IF YOU CAN MAKE A PLAN AND POSSIBLY HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER OR A FRIEND OR SOMEBODY CARE FOR YOUR PET IF YOU FEAR THAT THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

>> Reporter: WHAT DO YOU THINK WOULD BE, LIKE, A GOOD HOME SITUATION FOR HER?

>> BECAUSE SHE'S A LITTLE BIT SHY, WE THINK THAT MAYBE OLDER CHILDREN OR ADULTS WOULD BE A GOOD HOME FOR HER.

EVEN IF YOU CAN'T ADOPT AN ANIMAL, MAYBE YOU COULD TEMPORARILY FOSTER AN ANIMAL.

BRING THEM HOME FOR TWO WEEKS, GET THEM OUT OF THE SHELTER SETTING.

IT WOULD BE A GREAT HELP FOR US JUST GETTING AN ANIMAL OUT OF HERE FOR A TEMPORARY TIME, LETTING THEM DECOMPRESS IN A HOME SETTING.

>> Reporter: SO A FEW QUICK TAKE-AWAYS.

ONE, IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE A PLAN.

AND TWO, THIS SHELTER IS OVER CAPACITY.

THEY NEED PEOPLE TO COME IN, HELP, ADOPT, OR EVEN FOSTER.

THE HOLIDAY IS A GREAT TIME TO FOSTER.

YOU CAN HELP A BIT MORE, AND YOU CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT THESE WONDERFUL PETS AND HOW THEY BEHAVE AT HOME.

WELL, FOR KATA, SHE'S STILL LOOKING FOR A LONG-TERM HOME.

FOR YOU'RE INTERESTED REACH OUT TO THE HUMANE SOCIETY.

I KPBS NEWS, IN ESCONDIDO.

>>> HAPPY TO BRING YOU THE WEATHER WHEN IT'S BEAUTIFUL FOR THANKSGIVING.

WE'LL SEE HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS BUT OVERNICE.

MAYBE A SPRINKLE OR TWO IN SOME LOCATIONS AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND, AND THEN WE'RE DRYER AND WARMER TO START DECEMBER.

CAN'T BELIEVE WE'RE SAYING THAT ALREADY BUT THE YEAR HAS MOVED QUICKLY.

TONIGHT'S TEMPERATURES DROP BACK DOWN TO THE UPPER 40s IN BORREGO SPRINGS.

44 MOUNT LAGUNA AND A COOLER NIGHT IN OCEANSIDE.

HERE WE GO, THANKSGIVING.

CAN'T ASK FOR BETTER WEATHER.

A LITTLE BIT COOLER THAN THE PREVIOUS DAYS HERE, BUT VERY PLEASANT AND DRY, GOOD FOR TRAVEL, GOOD FOR SOME TIME OUTSIDE THROUGH OUR THURSDAY.

IT'S THAT SUNNY AND 75 WEATHER EVERYBODY LOVES.

SAN DIEGO, OCEANSIDE A DEGREE COOLER AT 74.

BORREGO SPRINGS AT 74.

AND MOUNT LAGUNA 55 DEGREES.

ALL RIGHT, FRIDAY, IT'S DRY FOR SHOPPING OR TRAVEL, IF THOSE ARE YOUR PLANS OR JUST KIND OF STAYING PUT, ENJOYING A NICE STRETCH OF WEATHER HERE THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.

BY THE WEEKEND, BIG CHANGES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

IF YOU ARE TRAVELING, THERE'S ANOTHER SNOWSTORM GOING TO IMPACT PARTS OF THE UPPER MIDWEST HERE, AND RAIN AND SNOW MOVE BACK ON IN ACROSS THE NORTH EAST.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S TAKE IT INTO OUR WEEKEND FORECAST HERE ACROSS THE COAST WHERE UPPER 60s DROP TO THE MID-60s BY SUNDAY WITH A SPRINKLE POSSIBLE TO WRAP UP THE WEEKEND.

FURTHER INLAND TEMPERATURES INTO THE 80s TOMORROW, BUT WE'LL SEE A COOLING TREND HERE BY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

TEMPERATURES BACK TO THE 60s, AND AGAIN THERE'S THAT SPRINKLE POSSIBLE ON SUNDAY.

HOW ABOUT ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS?

WATCH FOR THE WIND TO PICK UP ON SUNDAY MORNING, AND STAYING COOL TO START NEXT WEEK.

INTO THE DESERTS WE GO WHERE A COMFORTABLE 70 DEGREES HERE AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND.

FOR KPBS NEWS, I'M MARIELA SCOLIS.

>> OUT OF TOWN GUESTS WILL DEFINITELY LOVE IT.

>>> WELL, HE WAS A PIONEER IN SAN DIEGO AND ONE OF THE FIRST CIVIC DEVELOPERS WHO COULD SEE THE POTENTIAL OF DOWNTOWN.

SO WHY DON'T WE KNOW MORE ABOUT HIM?

KEN KRAMER HAS THE STORY OF A MAN WHO HAS BEEN FORGOTTEN IN THE HISTORY OF SAN DIEGO.

>> Reporter: GOING TO SHOW YOU TWO FACES FROM OUT OF OUR DISTANT PAST, OKAY?

STARTING OFF THIS IS ALLONZO HORTON, AND THIS IS BILL DAVIS.

NOW, OF THE TWO WHO DO YOU THINK FIRST CAME UP WITH THE IDEA OF LOCATING THE MODERN CITY OF SAN DIEGO WHERE IT IS TODAY?

BECAUSE REMEMBER WAY BACK SAN DIEGO WAS UP IN OLD TOWN, BUT WHO FIRST THOUGHT OF PUTTING STREETS AND HOUSES IN NEW TOWN WHERE THE MAIN DOWNTOWN OF THE CITY GREW AND IS THRIVING TODAY?

OH, YOU SAY ALLONZO HORTON, OF COURSE.

AFTER ALL HE'S THE ONE WHO IN THE LATE 1860s BOUGHT UP ALMOST 1,000 ACRES OF LAND AND FIRST LAID OUT THE STREETS, SET ASIDE SPACE FOR CHURCHES.

WE HONOR HIM FOR THAT WITH A STATUE, AND HIS NAME'S ALL OVER.

BILL DAVIS, NOT SO MUCH.

WELL, LET'S GO TO THIS HOUSE.

THIS PARTICULAR HOUSE AT 4th AND ISLAND AVENUES, IT'S A SALTBOX HOUSE, KELSEY WOOD SAYS.

>> YEAH, IT ACTUALLY MIMICS THE STYLE OF THE OLD THYMY SALTBOXES YOU WOULD SCOOP FROM, SO THAT'S WHERE IT GETS THE NAME.

>> Reporter: SEE HERE ARE SOME OLD SALTBOXES AND THE HOUSE LOOKS A LITTLE BIT LIKE ONE.

IT'S CALLED THE DAVIS HORTON HOUSE.

THERE'S THOSE TWO NAMES AGAIN.

WELL, WHO WAS THIS BILL DAVIS?

WILLIAM HEATH DAVIS, A PACIFIC ISLANDER, CUNOCA BILL THEY CALLED HIM.

>> HE WAS -- ACTUALLY HE WAS A DESCENDANT OF HAWAIIAN ROYALTY.

HE WAS BORN IN HAWAII AND HE CAME OVER TO CALIFORNIA WHEN HE WAS 15 YEARS OLD.

>> Reporter: FOUND WEALTH IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, BUT HAD AN EYE ON SAN DIEGO, WHICH AGAIN WAS JUST OLD TOWN BACK THEN.

HE TOOK A LOOK AT THAT AND SAID, NO.

>> AND HE KNEW THAT OLD TOWN WASN'T WHAT IT COULD BE.

IT WAS A LITTLE TOO FAR AWAY FROM THE WATER, SO HE DID COME HERE WITH A REALLY STRONG VISION.

>> Reporter: A VISION OF A NEW SAN DIEGO DOWN ALONG THE WATERFRONT, WHERE BACK THEN THERE WAS NOTHING.

HE ORDERED AND PUT TOGETHER TEN PREFABRICATED SALTBOX HOUSES, BUT TODAY THERE'S JUST THIS ONE LEFT.

IT HOUSES THE GAS LAMP MUSEUM WHERE KELSEY WOOD IS ENGAGEMENT COORDINATOR.

>> HE BUILT ALL OF THESE HOUSES IN 1850, SO THIS HOUSE ALONG WITH THE OTHERS WERE BUILT THAT YEAR.

>> Reporter: CANACA BILL DAVIS WAS THE ONE WHO STARTED EVERYTHING OR TRIED TO.

>> HE WASN'T TOO HAPPY ABOUT THE SITUATION, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE AREA GOT THE NICKNAME DAVIS' FALL LEAF.

>> Reporter: MR.

DAVIS' TOWN DIDN'T GROW.

>> PART OF IT WAS ECONOMIC AT THE TIME, OUT OF HIS CONTROL.

>> Reporter: NO, ABOUT A DOZEN YEARS LATER HERE COMES ALLONZO HORTON WITH THE SAME IDEA BUT THIS TIME IT TAKES OFF.

IT'S ALLONZO HORTON WHO BOUGHT THE LAND AND SAW IT DOUBLE IN VALUE AND DOUBLE AGAIN.

HE BECAME FAMOUS.

HE IS REVERED TODAY AS THE FATHER OF SAN DIEGO.

AND WILLIAM HEATH BILL DAVIS IS HARDLY KNOWN.

>> YEAH, I DO THINK HE DESERVES A LITTLE MORE CREDIT THAN HE'S GIVEN.

YOU KNOW, IT WAS HIS IDEA INITIALLY.

HE HAD ALL THESE GRAND, WONDERFUL PLANS, SO I DO FEEL A LITTLE SAD HE DOESN'T GET THE CREDIT HE DESERVES.

>> Reporter: BUT AT LEAST HERE HE IS HONORED AND HIS STORY IS TOLD.

THIS REMARKABLE 175-YEAR-OLD HOUSE MOVED TWICE FROM ITS EARLIER LOCATIONS AT STATE AND MARKET AND 11th AND K HAS SO MUCH HISTORY OF ITS OWN.

SOLDIERS WERE HOUSED HERE FOR A TIME.

IT WAS A COUNTY HOSPITAL FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO WERE DOWN-AND-OUT AND DIDN'T HAVE ANYWHERE ELSE TO GO WHEN THEY WERE SICK.

THERE'S THE STORY OF A GERMAN SPY WHO WAS SAID TO HAVE LIVED HERE DURING WORLD WAR I AND AN OWNER WHO HAD A HIDDEN STILL IN A CLOSED OFF ROOM.

THAT WAS A SURPRISE TO DISCOVER.

BUT DO YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE BILL DAVIS WILLIAM HEATH DAVIS HIMSELF NEVER LIVED HERE, KELSEY SAYS.

BUT ALLONZO HORTON DID WHILE ONE OF HIS MANSIONS WAS BEING BUILT.

LOOKING BACK BILL DAVIS COULD HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN FOR THINKING IT COULD HAVE BEEN ME.

>> BUT HE WAS SUPPORTIVE OF ALLONZO HORTON PICKING UP THE PROJECT, ACTUALLY.

>> Reporter: AND SO IN THIS SALTBOX STRUCTURE IT'S THE DAVIS HORTON HOUSE AT 4th AND ISLAND.

IT AND THE GAS LAMP MUSEUM HERE IS WORTH A VISIT FOR THIS PLACE IS A TRIBUTE TO THEIR PLACE IN THE HISTORY WRITTEN ABOUT SAN DIEGO.

>>> KEN KRAMER HAS A HALF HOUR OF STORIES EVERY WEEK ABOUT SAN DIEGO.
