San Diego’s old Central Library is on the market

The city is seeking a buyer or lessee to turn its vacant, downtown property at 820 E St. into an apartment tower.

San Diego’s empty old Central Library at Eighth Avenue and E Street is officially on the market as the city seeks a bidder to remake the downtown property into a skyscraper with apartments for people of varying incomes.

On Tuesday, San Diego’s Economic Development Department published a notice of availability for the old Central Library at 820 E St., formally starting the solicitation process under California’s Surplus Land Act. The law regulates how municipal agencies can offload their land and prioritizes the production of housing for low-income families.

The notice alerts affordable housing developers registered with the state that the city intends to sell or lease its 0.69-acre property on the southern half of the block facing E Street, between Eighth and Ninth avenues. The notice also starts the clock on a 60-day window for interested bidders to respond with redevelopment plans that include at least 25% of residential units reserved for households making 80% or less than the area median income, or what’s referred to as affordable housing.

Prospective buyers have through Nov. 3 to submit a letter of interest.

“All San Diegans will benefit when we breathe new life into this unused property,” San Diego City Councilmember Stephen Whitburn, who represents downtown, said in a statement. “Downtown San Diego is the region’s ideal location for new housing with its proximity to jobs and transit, and replacing this old vacant building with new affordable homes will significantly improve this area for downtown residents and visitors.”

Opened in 1954 and closed in 2013, the old Central Library is a locally designated historic resource that sat empty for nearly a decade before being used intermittently as a temporary homeless shelter, starting in 2023. Over the years, developers have contemplated various alternative uses, including a 42-story apartment tower proposed by Bosa Development. The tower proposal was eventually scraped by the builder in 2018.

San Diego is now soliciting interest in the old Central Library under the Surplus Land Act. The law was amended in 2019 to prioritize affordable housing when government-owned land is sold or leased.

In July, San Diego city council members formally declared the library site as surplus land. The surplus designation means the city no longer needs the facility and has ruled out other options, such as redeveloping the property entirely for low-income housing. With the designation, the city can sell or lease the site for redevelopment — but it must follow specific noticing and negotiating requirements.

Taking a dip #LaborDay weekend? Swimmers face fecal contamination at beaches along US coastline

By PATRICK WHITTLE and MINGSON LAU
Updated 10:15 AM EDT, August 30, 2025

OGUNQUIT, Maine (AP) — "Thousands of Americans will head to beaches for one last summer splash this Labor Day weekend, but taking a dip might be out of the question: Many of the beaches will caution against swimming because of unsafe levels of fecal contamination.

"Beaches from #CrystalRiverFL, to #OgunquitME, have been under advisories warning about water quality this week because of elevated levels of bacteria associated with fecal waste. The advisories typically discourage beachgoers from going in the water because the bacteria can cause gastrointestinal illness, rashes and nausea.

"There have been closures this week at some of the country’s most popular beach destinations, including Keyes Memorial Beach in the #CapeCod village of Hyannis in Barnstable, Massachusetts; Benjamin’s Beach on #LongIsland in Bay Shore, New York; and a portion of the Imperial Beach shoreline near #SanDiego. Even on the pristine, white sand beaches of Hawaii, the Hawaii State Department of Health is warning of a high bacteria count at #KahaluuBeachPark on the #BigIsland.

"It’s a longstanding and widespread problem. Nearly two-thirds of beaches tested nationwide in 2024 experienced at least one day in which indicators of fecal contamination reached potentially unsafe levels, conservation group Environment America said in a report issued this summer.
"The group reviewed beaches on the coasts and #GreatLakes and found that 84% of #GulfCoast beaches exceeded the standard at least once. The number was 79% for #WestCoast beaches, 54% for #EastCoast beaches and 71% for #GreatLakes beaches.

"The report also said more than 450 beaches were potentially unsafe for swimming on at least 25 percent of the days tested. A key reason is outdated water and #SewerSystems that allows contamination from #sewage to reach the places where people swim, said John Rumpler, clean water director and senior attorney with #EnvironmentAmerica.

" 'These beaches are a treasure for families across New England and across the country. They are a shared resource,' said Rumpler, who is based in Boston. 'We need to make the investment to make sure that literally our own #HumanWaste doesn’t wind up in the places where we are swimming.'

"Other factors have also played a role in contaminating beaches, including increasingly #SevereWeather that overwhelms sewage systems, and suburban sprawl that paves over natural areas and reduces the #ecosystem’s ability to absorb #stormwater, Rumpler said."

In the last few days, some good monsoonal moisture finally made it to Southern California and kindly provided some clouds that the sun could light up as it set. :)

This is at Foster Point in the Laguna Mountains, an easy to reach vista point just off the Pacific Crest Trail, with views along the Pacific Crest and into the Anza Borrego Desert.

The vote to eliminate pepper spray from use on kids in #SanDiego juvenile detention passed - kind of

The ad hoc subcommittee to look into safety at the juvenile facilities was amended to have a probation officer on it, but it does seem Supervisors - including my Republican elected official - want to see some limitations on pepper spray

Thanks to everyone who gave public comments!

#SanDiego residents can speak in person on Tuesday or submit written comments in support of these changes at the link (be warned, there's a lot of people saying pepper spraying kids is a good thing 🤬)

A sample script, from youth advocates Mid-City CAN, that you can use for your comment is in the thread below. Make sure you choose 'support' after you enter your information

Happy to answer any questions - thanks!

The #SanDiego Board of Supervisors will be voting to develop a plan to improve safety in our juvenile detention facilities on 8/26/25

For those who don't know, the treatment of kids by the SD Probation Department is so bad that the State's Attorney General has opened a civil rights investigation

If the Board's plan passes Tuesday, San Diego would require the Probation Chief to phase out pepper spray, reduce use of force and eliminate room confinement for kids in the Dept's care

Immigration to the U.S. is a federal responsibility, but Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is increasingly seeking the assistance of state and local officials. @BoltsMag has created a @Flipboard Storyboard with their recent coverage, including how New Orleans' facial recognition tech could help ICE, and a volunteer program to help protect immigrant communities in San Diego.
