San Diego Q&A

I visited Balboa Park today and saw a large canopy set up in front of the Botanical Building and Lily Pond area. It blocks the view and interferes with the vendors and flow of the area. Is this allowed and is it something the city should regulate?

I'm planning to attempt a 50-mile walk from Rancho Bernardo to San Ysidro and I want to know how to adequately prepare for it. I've already learned my lesson the hard way by not considering the closure of Kearny Villa Rd and taking a detour on Genesee, which ended up being a 33-mile walk. I'm looking for advice from people who have completed long walks/jogs in San Diego.

I've been enrolled with Community Research Foundation's Downtown IMPACT program since 2024, but the Independent Living Facility I was placed in was evicted in September 2026.
