AND BY VIEWERS LIKE YOU, THANK YOU.

>>> FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IS NOW PRESIDENT-ELECT.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US, I MAYA TRABULSI.

TRUMP BECAME THE SECOND PERSON TO INTO NONCONSECUTIVE TERMS AS COMMANDER IN CHIEF.

WHAT EFFECT MIGHT A SECOND TERM HAVE ON SAN DIEGO COUNTY, AND WHAT DO PEOPLE THINK ABOUT IT?

>> HOWEVER YOU FEEL ABOUT DONALD TRUMP, YOU HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE HE PULLED OFF ONE OF THE GREATEST, IF NOT THE GREATEST POLITICAL COMEBACK IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

NOW THE CRYSTAL BALLS ARE COMING OUT, WHAT MIGHT IT MEAN FOR US ACROSS THE GOLDEN STATE?

CARL LUNA IS POLITICAL SCIENCE EMERITUS, HE HAS LIVED AND BREATHED POLITICS FOR DECADES, HE SAID WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY IS NOTHING SHORT OF MONEY METAL.>> THIS IS A WAVE ELECTION AND A FUNDAMENTAL SHIFT IN WHAT AMERICA IS MYSTICALLY, AND IN THE WORLD, IT'S AT LEAST THE MOST CONSEQUENTIAL ELECTION SINCE 1980, AND POSSIBLY SINCE 1940, WHEN FDR DEFEATED ISOLATIONISM.

>> IS LIKELY TO BE DEJA VU WHEN IT COMES TO HOW THE STATE INTERACTS WITH THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.

AT THE VERY LEAST, HE SAYS THE NEW ADMINISTRATION COULD USE THE POWER OF THE PURSE AS A CUDGEL AGAINST CALIFORNIA, AND IT COULD GET A LOT MORE SERIOUS THAN THAT.

WHAT IF PROTESTS BREAK OUT HERE THAT LEAD TO VIOLENCE ON THE STREETS?>> THIS PRESIDENT-ELECT KENNEDY HAS SAID HE WOULD INVOKE THE INSURRECTION ACT, NOW YOU HAVE A QUESTION OF WHAT HAPPENS IF NATIONAL GUARD FROM ARIZONA SHOW UP IN THE STREETS OF SAN DIEGO?

A LIKELY SCENARIO IN THE REGULAR UNIVERSE, NO, IN THE UNIVERSE WE ARE CURRENTLY IN, IT'S POSSIBLE.

>> WHAT ABOUT THOSE OF US WHO ARE NOT CLINICAL SCIENCE PROFESSIONALS.

TODAY WE CAME TO DOUBLE UP PARK TO GET THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE, AND THOSE VOICES WERE LITERALLY ALL OVER THE MAP.>> IT IS WITH THE COUNTRY PICKED, YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT IT AND MOVE ON.

>> MAX JUST MOVED HERE A FEW DAYS AGO.

>> PERSONALLY, I'M NOT SUPER STOKED ABOUT IT, BUT IT'S IN EVERYONE'S BEST INTEREST TO MOVE FORWARD AS BEST AS THEY CAN.>> I REALLY DON'T CARE.

IT DOESN'T AFFECT MY EVERY DAY, I WOKE UP, I STILL HAVE TO GO TO WORK, I HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF MY CHILD AND MY BILLS.>> I ALSO MEANT THE PEOPLE WE SPOKE WITH WERE FROM ALL OVER THE MAP.>> IT'S TOO LATE.

YOU HAVE TRUMP AGAIN.

WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENED.>> WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT MR. TRUMP BEING RE-ELECTED?

NOW CHILDREN, I HOPE THEY GO BACK TO MAMA.

>> FOR THOSE UPSET ABOUT THE ELECTION'S OUTCOME, JUST REMEMBER WHAT YOU MIGHT CALL THE POLITICAL PENDULUM.

>> YOU WIN ELECTIONS, YOU LOSE ELECTIONS, THERE WILL BE ANOTHER IN TWO YEARS, ANOTHER ONE AFTER THAT, IN TWO YEARS.>> THE OUTCOME OF THIS ELECTION IS NOT WHAT WE WANTED, NOT WHAT WE FOUGHT FOR, NOT WHAT WE VOTED FOR, BUT HEAR ME WHEN I SAY, HEAR ME WHEN I SAY THE LIGHT OF AMERICA'S PROMISE WILL ALWAYS BURN BRIGHT.

SDG&E SAYS IT WARNED ABOUT 24,000 CUSTOMERS IN 34 TOWNS THAT THEY COULD LOSE POWER.

THAT INCLUDES ALPINE RESIDENT REX BUTLER.

HE SAYS HIS GENERATOR IS READY TO GO IF POWER IS SHUT OFF.

>> MAINLY FOR THE REFRIGERATOR, THE FREEZER, AND THE LIGHTS.

>> BUTLER SAYS THE SHUTOFFS DO AFFECT HIM AND HIS FAMILY, HE SAYS IT IS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY.

>> WHATEVER THEY'VE GOT TO DO TO KEEP OUR SAFETY AND THE FIRES DOWN.

>> ALEX HARDY SAYS THE SANTA ANA WIND IS MODERATE TO STRONG, AND HUMIDITY IS LOW.

>> WE ARE NOW SEEING WIND GUSTS OF 40, UP TO 50 MPH IN AT RISK AREAS, IN THE SAN DIEGO MOUNTAINS, AND CLOSE TO THE FOOTHILLS AS WELL.

>> THE DRY SUMMER AND SLOW START TO WINTER ADDED TO THE DRYNESS.

>> IT MAKES CONDITIONS EVEN WORSE, THE AGITATION KNOWS THAT AND FEELS THAT, SO IT IS STRESSED.>> Reporter: CAL FIRE IS AT PEAK FIRE SEASON STAFFING.

>> THAT MEANS ENGINES, BULLDOZERS, HAND CREWS, AIRCRAFT, THEY ARE ALL STAFFED UP AND READY TO GO.>> THE BOULEVARD COMMUNITY CENTER IS OPEN AS A RESOURCE FOR AFFECTED RESIDENTS FROM 8:00 A.M. UNTIL 10 P.M. >> SOME FOLKS COUNT ON POWER TO POWER MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND STUFF LIKE THAT, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THOSE FOLKS ARE TAKING CARE OF.

HEIDI DiMARCO TELLS US SOME ADVOCATES QUESTION HOW MANY WILL ACTUALLY ENROLL.>> ALLIE WAS FIVE WHEN HIS MOTHER BROUGHT HIM TO THE UNITED STATES FROM IRAN.

NOW, 35, HE IS A RECENT LOCAL SCHOOL GRADUATE, AND A DACA RECIPIENT.>> THEY WOULD SAY YOU ARE UNINSURED, THAT'S THE REALITY, WE DON'T HAVE SOMETHING LIKE HEALTHCARE FOR ALL, A SINGLE-PAYER SYSTEM, PEOPLE CAN FALL THROUGH THE CRACKS.

>> REPORTER:'S EXPERIENCE AS AN UNINSURED, AND DOCUMENT YOUTH INFLUENCED HIS DECISION TO PURSUE A CAREER IN EDISON.

>> I HAVE LIVED EXPERIENCE, AND I AM ALSO A WITNESS TO THE HARMS THAT COME INTO PLAY WHEN YOU SET SO MANY BARRICADES IN TERMS OF ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE FOR UNDOCUMENTED FOLKS.>> Reporter: THE PROGRAM WAS STARTED DURING THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION, THAT PROTECTS SOME UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS WHO CAME TO THE UNITED STATES AS CHILDREN, AND ESTIMATED 8500 RECIPIENTS CALL SAN DIEGO COUNTY HOME, AND STARTING THIS MONTH, THEY CAN APPLY FOR HEALTH COVERAGE UNDER THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, SOMETHING THEY ARE URGING OTHER DACA RECIPIENTS TO TAKE IN JEFF.

SO THIS WILL NOT IMPACT IMMIGRATION ABILITY, DO NOT BE AFRAID.

>> Reporter: WHEN THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AND IS THE NEW RULE IN MAY, IMMIGRANT ADVOCATES WHERE PEOPLE WOULD NOT APPLY, BECAUSE THEY WOULD BE AFRAID OF BEING REPORTED.

THAT'S WHY THE IMMIGRATION LAW CENTER IS FOCUSING ON OUTREACH.>> MAY BE UP TO 100,000 INDIVIDUALS DON'T HAVE INSURANCE, EITHER BECAUSE THEY ARE STUDENTS, BECAUSE THEY ARE SELF EMPLOYED, OR BECAUSE THEIR JOBS JUST DON'T PROVIDE IT AT THIS POINT, AND THIS REALLY PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE THESE INDIVIDUALS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE ANY HEALTHCARE.

>> I WANT TO GET BACK TO THIS COMMUNITY.

THIS COUNTRY DIDN'T GIVE BIRTH TO ME, BUT THE CITY AS ME.

>>> NEIGHBORS WANT AN INVESTIGATION INTO A FOOTNOTE IN CITY CODE.

KATIE REPORTS ON WHAT THEY ARE CALLING SHOCKING.

>> NEIGHBORS DREAM OF A PARK OR A SENIOR CENTER, BUT IT'S PRIVATE LAND.

CITY STAFF ANNOUNCED A HOUSING DEVELOPMENT.

MARTHA IBRAHIM LIVES NEARBY.

SHE'S UPSET.

THE ZONING MAP APPEARS TO ALLOW ABOUT 70 HOUSES.

THIS PLAN FOR MORE THAN 120.

>> WE WOULD SAY IT IS NOT ZONED FOR THIS MANY HOUSES, WE WERE TOLD BY THE DEVELOPER THAT IT IS ZONED FOR THAT MANY HOUSES.

WHEN WE GO TO OUR COUNCILMEMBER FOR SUPPORT, WE ARE BEING TOLD WE SUPPORT HOUSING, THEY ARE HELPING US, WE ARE TRAINED TO HELP OURSELVES.

I WAS PUTTING MY OWN BUSINESS AND PROJECTS TO THE SIDE TO WORK ON THIS, BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENS IS, YOU GET INTO A RABBIT HOLE.

YOU FIND ONE THING, IT LEADS YOU INTO ANOTHER AND LEADS YOU INTO ANOTHER.>> THEY SEARCHED MORE THAN 1000 PAGES OF LAW AND PUBLIC RECORD.

>> I FEEL LIKE THERE WAS A MAGIC BULLET, AND WE HADN'T FOUND IT YET.

THERE WAS SOMETHING GOING ON THAT NO ONE TOLD US ABOUT.

>> Reporter: THEN THE CITY ANNOUNCED ANOTHER DEVELOPED, WITH TWICE AS MANY HOUSES AS ZONING SEEMED TO ALLOW.

CAMPBELL LIVES DOWN THE STREET.

HE SAYS THE ISSUE ISN'T HOUSES, BUT HOW MANY.

>> WE ARE AN ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE AFFECTED COMMUNITY, WE DON'T SEE HOW PAVING OVER WHAT GREEN SPACE WE HAVE WILL INCREASE AIR QUALITY OR DECREASE THE HEAT EFFECT THAT WE SUFFER FROM.>> Reporter: THEY WANTED TO APPROVE THE DEVELOPMENT.

THE FEE IS $1000.

THERE WAS NOTICE, THIS FOOTNOTE, WHAT IS THIS?

>> Reporter: THE FOOTNOTE, ABRAHAMS MAGIC BULLET.

>> THERE'S THIS LITTLE SEVEN, % NONE OF THE OTHER COLUMNS HAVE ANY NUMBERS, I HADN'T NOTICED IT PREVIOUSLY.

THEN YOU HAVE TO SCROLL DOWN THREE OR FOUR PAGES TO GET TO THE FOOTNOTE.

>> REDUCED MINIMUM LOT SIZE FROM 20,000 FT.2 TO 5000 FT.2, BUT ONLY IN THE ENCANTO AND SOUTHEAST AREAS.

MEETING DEVELOPERS CAN BUILD MUCH MORE DENSELY THERE.

LAST WEEK, MORE THAN 100 NEIGHBORS PACKED A SCHOOL COMMUNITY ROOM.

THE COMMUNITY PLANNING GROUP CHAIR BUT THE CITY CODE ON THE SCREEN.

NEIGHBORS KNIT THEIR BROWS AND SQUINTED.>> THE FOOTNOTE WAS TO SHOCKING.

THE CITY CODE [ INAUDIBLE ] THAT IS SHOCKING.

20,000 MEANS 20,000 TO EVERYONE IN THE CITY.

IT SAID YOU FOLKS IN SOUTHEAST, FOR YOU IN SOUTHEAST, 20,000 MEANS 5000.

>> Reporter: THEY WALKED THROUGH DUE PROCESS, AND FEDERAL LAW.

AFFIRMATIVELY FIRMING THEIR HOUSE AND REQUIRES LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO DISMANTLE HOUSING DISCRIMINATION.>> IT DOESN'T NEED TO STOP, IT NEEDS TO TURN THE CLOCK BACKWARDS.

>> Reporter: SHE TOOK THEM THROUGH HISTORY, LAWS THAT FOLLOWED THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT, AND WAY LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TRIED TO RESIST THEM.

THIS FOOTNOTE, SHE SAYS, IS PART OF THAT RESISTANCE.

WHEN SHE TOLD HOW CAMPBELL DOWN THE FOOTNOTE, THE ROOM APPLAUDED.

THE MEETING ENERGIZED CAMPBELL.>> THIS WAS HERE, LIKE DEMOCRACY.

>> THE DISTRICT COUNCILMEMBER HENRY FOSTER WAS THERE.

HE SUGGESTED THAT THEY WAIT TO HEAR MORE FROM THE CITY.

THEY WANTED ANSWERS FROM HIM.>> TALK ABOUT FOOTNOTE SEVEN.>> Reporter: HE SAYS THE MEETING WAS A GOOD THING.

>> I APPRECIATE THEM HAVING THE COURAGE TO QUITE HONESTLY STAND UP AND DEMAND CALM ANSWERS.>> Reporter: HE WAS THE DISTRICT CHIEF OF STAFF WHEN THE FOOTNOTE BECAME LAW.

HE SAYS HE UNDERSTANDS THERE ARE CONCERNS ABOUT DISCRIMINATION AND TRANSFERENCE HE, BUT SOME GOOD CAME FROM IT.

>> THE CUSTOMER WHO PASSED THE FOOTNOTE DID NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT IT.

THE CITY PLANNING DIRECTOR AT THE TIME SAYS HE DOES NOT KNOW WHY THE FOOTNOTE WAS CREATED.

I'D EVEN BLUHM IS THE PLANNING DIRECTOR NOW.

SHE'S ASKING THE STATE TO RECONSIDER THE FOOTNOTE.

STATE LAW PROHIBITS MAKING HOUSING ZONES LESS DENSE UNLESS THEY MAKE IT MORE DENSE SOMEWHERE ELSE.

THE CITY COUNCIL COULD CONSIDER IT MID-2025.

MEANWHILE, THE DEVELOPERS ARE MOVING FORWARD.

>>> DEMOCRATS HAD A ROUGH ELECTION NIGHT AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL.

AS ANDREW BOWEN EXPLAINS, SAN DIEGO COUNTY CONTINUES TO LOOK LESS PURPLE, AND MORE BLUE.>> Reporter: SUPPORTERS WERE JUBILANT IN THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY DEMOCRATIC PARTY ELECTION NIGHT WATCH PARTY.

THE DEMOCRAT IS LEADING WITH MORE THAN 55% OF THE VOTE, DESPITE REPUBLICANS SPENDING HEAVILY TO PROMOTE THEIR CANDIDATE IN THE RACE, FORMER SAN DIEGO MAYOR KEVIN FAULKNER.

TODD GLORIA WAS ALSO FEELING CONFIDENT, LEADING OVER HIS OPPONENT, POLICE OFFICER LARRY TURNER, WITH OVER 54%.

>> I HAVE A VERY SIMPLE MESSAGE THIS EVENING, LET'S GET BACK TO WORK, LET'S HOUSE THE HOMELESS, LET'S KEEP OUR CITY SAFE, AND LET'S BUILD MORE HOUSING THAT MEANT WORKING AND MIDDLE-CLASS PEOPLE CAN AFFORD IN THIS GREAT CITY.

>> Reporter: SALES TAX MEASURES ON THE BALLOT ARE EXTREME THE CLOSE, MEASURE G, A COUNTYWIDE HALF SENT SALES TAX IS FEELING WITH JUST UNDER 52% OF VOTERS SAYING NO.

THAT MAJORITY SHRUNK AS MORE BALLOTS WERE COUNTED.

IT'S A SIMILAR STORY WITH MEASURE E, A ONE CENT SALES TAX TO SUPPORT THE GENERAL FUND.

THE NO SIDE IS LEADING WITH LESS THAN 51%.

A SITTER COUNCILMEMBER IS CRUISING TOWARD HIS RE- ELECTION, AND SAID WITH SAN DIEGO'S HIGH COST OF LIVING, HE UNDERSTANDS WHY MANY VOTERS ARE RELUCTANT TO PAY HIGHER TAXES.

>> I HOPE THE MEASURE PASSES, IF WE GET $400 MILLION PER YEAR INTO THE CITY COFFERS, WE WILL BE ABLE TO DO SO MUCH, THE PEOPLE WHO ARE STRUGGLING NOW NEED US TO BUILD MORE HOUSING THAT IS MORE AFFORDABLE, GET THE STREETS PAVED, HELP PEOPLE LIVING OUTDOORS GET INTO SAFER AND HEALTHIER PLACES.

I UNDERSTAND, IT'S A STRUGGLE.

>> Reporter: THE REGISTRAR OF VOTERS ESTIMATES A THIRD OF BALLOTS NEED TO BE COUNTED, LEAVING PLENTY OF ROOM FOR THE RESULTS TO CHANGE.

THE NEXT UPDATE ON THE VOTE COUNT IS EXPECTED THURSDAY EVENING.

>>> REPUBLICANS HAVE CONTROL OF THE U.S. SENATE, BUT WHETHER THEY HOLD ONTO THE HOUSE IS TO BE DETERMINED.

THE 49th DISTRICT HAS BEEN ALLIED AS A SEED THAT COULD POTENTIALLY FLIT FROM BLUE TO RED.

WITH BALLOTS BEING COUNTED, MIKE LEAVITT HAS A ONE POINT LEAD OVER REPUBLICAN CHALLENGER MATT GUNDERSON.

TONYA THORNE HAS THIS UPDATE.>> Reporter: BALLOTS ARE BEING COUNTED, A CONFIDENT MIKE LEAVITT CAME OUT ELECTION NIGHT.

WITH PURPOSE AND ENTHUSIASM FOR THE ROAD AHEAD, WE MUST CONTINUE OUR WORK TOGETHER.

CAN WE CONTINUE OUR WORK TOGETHER?

OUR WORK CONTINUES.>> Reporter: A WIN WOULD KEEP HIM IN THE 49th SEED FOR A FOURTH TERM.

HE WILL CONTINUE WORKING ON KEY ISSUES FOR THE DISTRICT.

>> CONTINUING OUR IMPORTANT WORK TO KEEP NUCLEAR WASTE OFF THE COAST.

REPLENISHING THE SAND ON OUR BEACHES SO WE CAN COMBAT COASTAL EROSION AND PREVENT LANDSLIDES.

FEDERALLY CODIFY THE WOMAN'S RIGHT TO CHOOSE.

>> IT FALLS BETWEEN THE VOTES OF TWO COUNTIES, SOUTH ORANGE COUNTY, WHICH HISTORICALLY LEANS MORE REPUBLICAN, AND NORTH SAN DIEGO COUNTY, WHICH LEANS MORE DEMOCRATIC.

KPBS SPOKE TO MATT GUNDERSON ON ELECTION NIGHT.

HERE IS WHAT HE HAD TO SAY AS EARLY RESULTS WERE RELEASED.

>> WE ARE ENCOURAGED BY REPUBLICAN TURNOUT, WE BELIEVE NO PREFERENCE VOTERS WILL FLIP OUR DIRECTION.

WE ARE ENCOURAGED, CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC, BUT WE ALWAYS KNEW THIS WOULD BE A TIGHT RACE.>> Reporter: A RACE THAT COULD NARROW, OR CONTINUE TO LEAD IN HIS FAVOR.

>> I'M VERY COGNIZANT OF THE FACT WHATEVER THE FINAL RESULT IS, A COUPLE HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE ROUGHLY VOTED FOR ME AND MORE THAN THAT DIDN'T VOTE FOR ME.

I WANT TO BE THEIR REPRESENTATIVE JUST THE SAME.>> THE DISTRICT RACE IS IMPORTANT IN DETERMINING THE CONTROL OF THE HOUSE, ESPECIALLY AFTER SENATE CONTROL HAS FALLEN IN REPUBLICAN HANDS.

TONYA THORNE, KPBS NEWS.>> THE FATE OF SOME STATE PROPOSITIONS IS ALREADY CLEAR, STARTING WITH PROP THREE, WHICH ENSHRINES SAME-SEX MARRIAGE RIGHT INTO THE CONSTITUTION, DECLARED APPROVED WITH 61% MOTOR SUPPORT.

VOTERS HAVE REJECTED PROP 33, WHICH WOULD HAVE ALLOWED LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO RENT CONTROL ORDINANCES.

IT RECLASSIFIES CERTAIN DRUG AND THEFT CRIMES FROM MISDEMEANORS TO FELONIES.
