Shouldn't that location have been subject to California's daylighting law? Was a vehicle parked on the approach side of the alley at the time of the collision?

While this is supposed to be satire, ICE would absolutely do that if they haven't done it already.

Car traffic through the middle of the park appeared to be less on both days, something I consider one of the bigger potential benefits of the paid parking. The large lot between Air and Space and Park Blvd was noticeably emptier than for typical weekends before paid parking was implemented.

Two Saturdays ago, the zoo lot appeared to have about one-third to one-half of parking spaces empty during the early afternoon with the lot full this past Sunday during the same hours. The difference may have been due to more zoo members setting up unpaid parking by this past Sunday.

Two weekends ago I was in Balboa Park on Saturday from before 2 PM to after 5 PM and on Sunday of this past weekend during similar hours. On both days during the early afternoon, parking at the lots closer to the center of the park (the most expensive parking) was full.

All of the new housing being built in the more central neighborhoods of San Diego seems to be almost entirely positive beyond the disruptions during the building of the new housing.
Wow - new market-rate apartment buildings in San Francisco created big gains for tenants in nearby existing apartments. Lowered their rent, prevented evictions, and reduced displacement. New affordable housing didn't have any of these local benefits!

Meanwhile in San Diego, bike lanes and bus stops are considered perfectly acceptable places to park a car without consequence.

Death by design. #VisionZero has never been a priority for #SanDiego, similar to its Climate (in)Action Plan.
This is the same road ⬇️
They were riding on the sidewalk because there are no safe bike facilities in the street. Being forced to ride on the sidewalk exposes bicyclists to greater risk of being hit by a turning car, which is exactly what happened. Absolutely disgusting that the driver fled.

But it's supposedly the new signs for parking that's the biggest blight in Balboa Park(ing lot).

Just another murder by car in San Diego. The woman just drove off leaving the child to die. A city that prioritizes cars over people is selfish and evil.
UPDATE: 6-year-old dies in Pacific Beach hit-and-run, suspected driver in custody
A 6-year-old boy was struck and killed by a 32-year-old woman driving a car in Pacific Beach, and the driver was taken into custody after the vehicle was located in National City.

The bike lanes are used when they aren't blocked with cars and the blight of cars and surface parking lots haven't gone away.

"While ridership took a few months to ramp up on the new route, Route 910 — which costs the normal MTS one-way fare of $2.50 — is now used by more than 7,000 passengers a month."
The transit line San Diego leaders are hailing as ‘a model for how we can grow’
Dubbed the Overnight Express, MTS bus Route 910 covers essentially the same ground as the South Bay portion of the popular Blue Line trolley.

I pay the same for bus as for rail, and the bus ride quality is much worse because the San Diego streets used by the busiest bus routes are sh!t. In general with transportation, if they get you to your destination substitutions are allowed.
Rail replacement bus journeys should be discounted, absolute piss take that they're full price (and IME you can never even get advance fares for them)
