San Diego continues to face a hepatitis A outbreak:
Like other major cities all along the West Coast, San Diego is struggling with a homeless crisis. In a place that bills itself as "America's Finest City," spiraling real estate values have contributed to spiraling homelessness, leaving more than 3,200 people living on the streets or in their cars.
Most alarmingly, the deplorable sanitary conditions help spread a liver-damaging virus that lives in fæces, contributing to the deadliest U.S. hepatitis A epidemic in 20 years. "Some of the most vulnerable are dying in the streets in one of the most desirable and livable regions in America," a San Diego County grand jury wrote in its report in June — reiterating recommendations it gave the city over the past decade to address homelessness.
San Diego has struggled to do that. Two years ago, Mayor Kevin Faulconer closed a downtown tent shelter that operated for 29 years during winter months. He promised a "game changer" — a new, permanent facility with services to funnel people to housing. But it wasn't enough. The result? Legions of Californians without shelter. A spreading contagion. And an extraordinary challenge to the city's sunny identity that threatens its key tourism industry.

We have too many regulations. I'm doing the largest cut by far, in terms of regulation, that this world has ever known. For every new regulation my guys make, they have to knock out two old ones. If there's a new regulation, they have to knock out two.
Let me tell you, we have beautiful savannah in the USA. In Georgia we have the most amazing savannah you've ever seen in your life. Not far from Hilton Head. We could be having big game safaris, the hunting. With elephants, zebras, giraffes, all of those animals our hunters are going to Africa for. Going to Zimbabwe, going to Nambia. My sons and many hunters. My sons are great hunters (not Barron). I don't do that. I like golf. They could be going to Georgia. Hunting in Georgia, great for our economy. But they can't because of FEDERAL OVERREACH. But I'm fixing it, believe me, I'm fixing it. And I'll leave it up to the states. But I'd love to open a Trump hotel in Hilton Head. Where I held one of my biggest rallies. #TRUMP2020 #MAGA 🇺🇸
