City of San Diego previews new safe parking lot at H Barracks site
SAN DIEGO, Calif. (KGTV) – There’s an empty parking lot near the San Diego Airport, and it’s not a place you leave your car to catch a flight.
“We’re here to announce the opening of the newest and largest location in our Safe Parking lot Program,” Mayor Todd Gloria, City of San Diego, said.
Thelot located at the H Barrackswill be the fifth City of San Diego-funded lot where people living out of their vehicles can come to rest for the night and get access to services.

The 190-space overnight lot will be run by Jewish Family Service, which runs the other four locations.
“We’ve served over 4,500 San Deigns to date, including 650 children,” Dana Toppel of Jewish Family Service said.
The expansion will close to double the existing spaces of the Safe Parking Program, which includes 19 camper trailers at the City’s Rose Canyon site.
“Generally speaking, the folks in this program have incomes. Most of them have jobs. Some of them go to school. What they need is a little assistance to maintain stable housing,” Gloria said.
The Mayor’s Office said this program is meant to connect people to things like case managers, housing resources, and job training, among other things.
But some in the community weren’t approving of the project in its early stages.
“What we’re most disappointed with is the City has failed to engage with the stakeholders in that area,” Derek Falconer said.
Falconer is the president of Point Loma CARES, which is a group that pushed back against the original plans for a shelter at the site.
ABC 10News has covered different events where the group has openly complained about long-term concerns with the location.
“We’ve said from the beginning that safe parking can work in that location given certain parameters,” Falconer said.
He told ABC 10News there are concerns about impacts to airport traffic and the safety of those who work in the surrounding area.
Despite his group’s efforts and a failed attempt in court from a different group, the site is set to open this month.
“I would think one would want to choose a parking lot – similar to the one at H Barracks – but one that doesn’t have major traffic issues, for example, being 100 yards away from Terminal 2 and along one of the egress corridors from the airport. Perhaps not next to a major tourist destination,” Falconer said.
Gloria said that the City is determined to continue to provide resources for San Diego’s homeless and to keep communities safe and vibrant for all.
“When these solutions are opened, the neighbors find that the homeless people are just like them. All people are just people. Every single human being deserves a break,” Councilmember Jennifer Campbell said.

Shane van Gisbergen earned his sixth career pole and second of the 2026 season on Saturday, rocketing to pole position around NASCAR’s all-new 3.4-mile street course at Naval Base Coronado. He even touched the wall twice on his fast lap, pushing to the absolute limit.
“A little bit (surprised),” said Van Gisbergen, who went out with the first group of qualifiers. “I thought the track would be better, and I thought people would execute a bit better. As I said, it’s just so difficult. There’s three or four corners you’re seeing for the first time of the day, and it’s on your heater. Amazing. The Red Bull Chevy is really good. Thank you to Trackhouse for doing a great job from yesterday, and we just need to get the driver a bit better,” he concluded with a smile.”

Van Gisbergen bested Carson Hocevar by 0.0156s with a fast lap of 2:14.788s. Ryan Blaney will start third, Zane Smith fourth, and Todd Gilliland fifth. Blaney was a little bit quicker than SVG for most of his lap, but lost it through the final set of corners.
Daniel Suarez, Ryan Preece, Connor Zilisch, Michael McDowell, and Austin Hill will out the remainder of the top ten on the starting grid.
Project 91 driver Kevin Magnussen qualified 21st for his NASCAR Cup debut. Notably, championship leader Tyler Reddick spun out, but still reached 17th on the grid. Denny Hamlin is just 19 points behind him, and will start 26th.

Some other notable drivers very deep in the field include William Byron in 27th, Chase Elliott 30th, and an injured Christopher Bell 37th. He will have Brent Crews on standby, and may finish the race for Bell on Sunday.
Jimmie Johnson was the first driver to set a time, and showed just how tricky things were as he had to use the runoff area in Turn 2 to avoid an incident. Erik Jones also smacked the wall at the exit of Turn 16, but there were no red flags during the session.

Neymar expected to return from right calf injury and play for Brazil in World Cup against Scotland
Neymar is expected to return from a right calf injury and play for Brazil in its final World Cup group match, coach Carlo Ancelotti said Friday night.
Neymar missed Brazil’s first two games of the tournament, including Friday’s 3-0 win over Haiti.
Ancelotti said Neymar would go through individual training on Saturday, train with the team on Monday and “will be available” for Brazil when it closes Group C play against Scotland on Wednesday in Miami Gardens, Florida.
Neymar is Brazil’s career scoring leader with 79 goals in 129 international appearances.
The 34-year-old midfielder has yet to practice in full sessions with the team since reporting to Brazil’s squad while nursing the calf injury.
Looking to play in his fourth World Cup, Neymar had tests on his calf last Monday to determine the progress of the injury that he sustained while playing for Brazilian club Santos on May 17.
There was widespread debate in Brazil over whether Neymar, whose first World Cup was on home soil in 2014, should have been called up for the tournament. He has struggled since returning from tearing the ACL in his left knee in October 2023 in a World Cup qualifier.
Neymar has four goals and two assists in eight matches for Santos this year.
