THAT IS A DIRECT DISPLACEMENT OF 40 MILLION GALLONS OF PETROLEUM DIESEL.

THAT IS NOT WHO WE ARE AS AMERICANS.

WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT DORM ROOMS.

THIS IS WHAT THE EIGHT STORY APARTMENT MIGHT LOOK LIKE.

THE SAN DIEGO COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT IS USING A 75 MILLION DOLLAR CALIFORNIA STATE GRANT TO DESIGN AND CONSTRUCT IN THE NEXT YEAR ON THIS CORNER OF THE PROPERTY.

THE ADDITIONAL $200 MILLION NEEDED WILL COME FROM BOND MONEY.

AND THE CAPITAL FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN.

THE RENT COULD BE AS LOW AS $1000 A MONTH FOR A STUDIO APARTMENT.

THE SAFE CAMPING SITE OPENS TOMORROW.

>>> SAN DIEGO POLICE CONTINUE TO ENFORCE CURFEW WITH JUVENILE DIVERSION PROGRAMS.

KATIE HEISS AND FOUND THEIR RECORDS DO NOT REFLECT THAT.

REMIX INDIO POLICE RECORDS USED TO HAVE A DIVERSION PROGRAM AND SOMETIMES JUVENILE HALL.

BUT BEGINNING IN 2019 THE ARREST RECORDS STARTED LISTING KNOLL INSTEAD.

BY THAT TIME MOST LARGE CITIES IN CALIFORNIA HAD STOPPED ENFORCING CURFEW.

WHEN I ASKED THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WHY THEY CHANGED HOW THEY WERE PUNISHING CURFEW, THEY DID NOT RESPOND.

I'VE REPORTED A STORY ABOUT CURFEW IN SEPTEMBER AND JILL EDWARDS HEARD IT ON THE RADIO.

WHILE SHE SAYS SHE WAS DRIVING HER SON TO HIS INTERVIEW FOR A JUVENILE DIVERSION PROGRAM.

HE WAS OUT AFTER CURFEW.

SHE REACHED OUT TO ME AND I VISITED HER AT HER HOME.

>> THAT'S A PRICING?

>> ABSOLUTELY.

>> Reporter: POLICE STOPPED HER 15-YEAR-OLD SON OUT PAST 10:00.

HIS FATHER IS VIETNAMESE AND THE OTHER BOYS IN THE CAR WERE NOT WHITE.

SAN DIEGO POLICE OVERWHELMINGLY ARREST BLACK AND LATINO YOUTH FOR CURFEW.

IN 2022 THEY MADE UP MORE THAN THREE QUARTERS OF THE ARREST.

SD PD DID NOT RESPOND TO QUESTIONS REGARDING CURFEW PUNISHMENT RECORDS.

PERSON WAS SENTENCED TO A DIVERSION PROGRAM IN ORDER TO KEEP THE ARREST OFFICE RECORD.

HE HAS TO ATTEND LIVE WORKSHOPS ON TOPICS LIKE DECISION-MAKING AND VALUES.

HE IS TO COMPLETE 10 HOURS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE, AND HANDWRITE A 600 WORD ESSAY.

HE SAID IF HE DOESN'T COMPETE THE REQUIREMENTS IN THREE MONTHS HE COULD BE REFERRED BACK TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR A MISDEMEANOR.

SHE SAID SHE WILL BE ISSUED IN A WRENCH WARRANT IF SHE PILLS TO APPEAR IN COURT.

>> IT'S HORRIFYING.

I THINK THE POLICE ARE THERE TO PROTECT I WOULD NOT THINK THIS LEVEL OF PUNISHMENT IS APPROPRIATE FOR A 15-YEAR-OLD CHILD WHO WAS OUT AFTER 10:00.

>> WHAT YOU THINK WOULD BE APPROPRIATE?

>> I THINK THE POLICE IF THEY FIND KIDS ON THE STREET, HAVE THE PARENTS COME AND PICK THEM UP.

>> Reporter: THE DIVERSION PROGRAM IS IN CITY HEIGHTS AND SHE AND HER HUSBAND WORK FULL- TIME.

SHE SAID ORGANIZING TRANSPORTATION IS A BURDEN.

SHE THINKS OF HER FAMILIES THAT DON'T HAVE A CAR OR ABLE TO NAVIGATE THE PAPERWORK EASILY.

SHE SAID THIS IS BEEN HER INTRODUCTION TO WHAT IT IS LIKE TO GROW UP IN AMERICA.

>> WHEN I WAS IN QUEENSLAND IN THE 1980s WE WERE CONSIDERED TO BE LIVING IN A POLICE STATE.

SO THIS MAY HAVE BEEN, I THINK THIS WAS EVEN WORSE THAN WE WOULD'VE EXPERIENCED.

>> Reporter: MIKE MALE, SENIOR RESEARCHER ON JUVENILE AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE, CALLS CURFEW AND AMERICAN POLICY.

AND ANTIQUATED.

>> I DON'T KNOW WHY SAN DIEGO IS CREATING CRIME HERE.

>> Reporter: RESEARCH OVERWHELMINGLY SHOWS CURFEW IS NOT EFFECTIVE AT REDUCING CRIME AND MALES COULD NOT THINK OF ANOTHER CITY IN CALIFORNIA THAT STILL ENFORCES IT.

>> THERE WAS NO PARTICULAR APPROACH TO JUVENILES ONCE THEY ARE ARRESTED THAT IS EFFECTIVE.

THE TRUTH IS, YOU REALLY JUST DON'T WANT TO BE ARRESTED IN THE FIRST PLACE.

THAT CREATES A CRIMINAL RECORD, THAT CREATES ANTAGONISM.

>> Reporter: HE TAKES ISSUE THAT SD PD RECORDS NO LONGER SHOW RECORDS.

>> THEY SHOULD NOT GET AWAY WITH SAYING THAT I CAN REPORT WHAT THEY ARE DOING.

>> Reporter: WHEN I FIRST REACHED OUT HE DID NOT KNOW SAN DIEGO WAS STILL ENFORCING CURFEW.

THE STATE ON MY RECORDS, MEANT TO PROVIDE TRANSPARENCY LIST ZERO CURFEW ARRESTS FOR SAN DIEGO IN 2021 AND 2022.

DESPITE THE HUNDREDS OF ARRESTS SD PD RECORDED.

HE SAYS THIS EXPERIENCE HAS SHIFTED HOW SHE AND HER SON YOU THE POLICE.

>> I WOULD AVOID CONTACT WITH THE POLICE.

BECAUSE I AM VERY WORRIED OF SOMETHING THIS MINOR CAN LEAD TO THAT LEVEL OF PUNISHMENT.

IMAGINE IF YOU ACTUALLY DID DO SOMETHING WRONG.

IT WOULD BE CATASTROPHIC TO A 15-YEAR-OLD CHILD.

IT WOULD BE HARD TO GET OUT OF THAT SYSTEM I BELIEVE.

>> Reporter: I HAVE REPEATEDLY ASKED THE POLICE DEPARTMENT ABOUT THIS LACK OF TRANSPARENCY AND INCOMPLETE RECORDS.

THEY HAVE NOT PROVIDED ANY ANSWERS.

>>> IT IS NOT JUST THE ASKING PRICE FOR A HOME THAT IS EXPENSIVE.

MORTGAGE INTEREST RATES HIT A PERCENT THIS WEEK.

SDSU -- EXPLAINS HOW THAT MAKES IT EVEN HARDER FOR BUYERS IN THE FRIDAY BUSINESS REPORT.

>> IN APRIL MORTGAGE RATES WERE JUST UNDER 5%.

SO THE MEDIUM NATIONAL AVERAGE WAS ALMOST $400,000.

HERE IN SAN DIEGO AS WE HAVE SEEN RECENTLY WE ARE AT THE MILLION DOLLAR MARK.

THESE ARE THE LOWEST LEVEL OF SALES WE HAVE SEEN SINCE THE FORECLOSURE CRISIS JUST AFTER THE 2008 FINANCIAL CRISIS.

THE REASON IS MOST HOMEOWNERS WHO MAY WANT TO SELL DO NOT WANT TO SELL BECAUSE THEY HAVE MORTGAGES WELL UNDER 6% AND WITH RATES BEING A PERCENT, YOU ARE LOOKING AT ROUGHLY FOR EVERY POINT OF MORTGAGE RATES, SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 500 AND $1000 A YEAR IN CALIFORNIA OF INCREMENTAL INTEREST COSTS FROM EVERY POINT.

BASED ON THE SIZE OF YOUR LOAN.

THE GOOD NEWS YESTERDAY WAS THE FED SAID WE ARE GOING TO PAUSE.

THERE WAS STILL A CONCERN GIVEN THE JOBS REPORT EARLIER THIS MONTH THAT THEY WERE GOING TO INCREASE RATES BECAUSE THEY KIND OF COMMITTED ONE MORE RATE INCREASE BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR.
