California's June Primary Election will be pivotal for local governance in San Diego and North County. Voters in San Diego will consider Measure A, which seeks to tax non-primary residential homes that remain vacant for more than 182 days each year. This measure proposes an initial tax of $8,000 in 2027, rising to $10,000 in subsequent years, and aims to generate approximately $24 million annually for the city. Meanwhile, residents of Oceanside, Carlsbad, and Vista will vote on Measure H, which involves a partnership between Tri-City Medical Center and Sharp HealthCare.
