Morning Report: Mega-Shelter Monday
The City Council is set to vote today on whether to move forward with a proposed 1,000 bed shelter campus pushed by Mayor Todd Gloria. The 30-year lease agreement for the Middletown warehouse the city wants to turn into the city’s largest long-term homeless campus – and the concept itself – have spawned major questions: What’s the value of the building? Can the city count on the site and its potential landlord? Should the city open a big shelter and pull from housing funds to pay for it? Is it sustainable?

After Soto's departure, San Diego's record looks similar to last year
Juan Soto has come and gone, and the San Diego Padres don’t seem to have changed much. The Padres were 12 games over .500 in August 2022 when they acquired Soto in a blockbuster deal with the Washington Nationals. They finished that year a distant second to the Dodgers in the NL West, but then they beat Los Angeles in the playoffs and made the NL Championship Series. Then last year, San Diego finished a disappointing 82-80 despite plenty of production from Soto. The Padres traded him to the Yankees in the offseason, and although it’s been a big loss — Soto has played brilliantly in New York — San Diego is in pretty much the same spot. The Padres are 52-50 after Sunday’s win over Cleveland. San Diego did finish with a run differential of plus-104 last year, and this season’s team isn’t on pace to end up anywhere close to that, but it’s still remarkable how the arrival and departure of an MVP-caliber player didn’t turn the Padres into a juggernaut and didn’t leave them out of contention.
