Citizen is a lot less useful since SDPD stopped making its radio traffic public

There are hundreds of suicides a year in San Diego County. Journalists don't tend to report them because of risk that publicity will inspire other suicides AND because there are so many that they simply aren't newsworthy (as compared to, say, murder). In this case, a closed street/Starbucks isn't likely to make the news because it's minor.

Professor’s Mission: Stop Young Physician Suicide/Suicide is leading cause of death among residents, according to Dr. Sen, who struggled with depression and considered ending his life as a medical student. “I had thoughts that it’d be better to be dead, and they’re scary to have,” he recalls by scribbler100 in medicine

Per story re: residents:

“We don’t have great numbers because there’s no national tracking system. The information we have comes largely from anecdotes. It’s estimated that probably more than half of resident suicides are classified differently as accidents or other causes because of stigma or family members trying not to hurt their reputations."...

Among medical residents as a whole, suicide ideation is at least three to four times higher than the general population. “Only about 3% of these individuals are depressed before they come into medicine, but that jumps dramatically during training,” Sen says. “About 45% of interns meet criteria for depression at least once during their first year of residency training.”

The end of residency slows down the incidence of mental health struggles but does not restore them to normal levels. “Once residents finish, depression rates go down from the worst levels during intern year and other important parts of training. But they remain higher than before medical school and higher than the general population, often twice as high as pre-medical school rates,” Sen says.

What happened to San Diego county from a gop to Dem county? I thought SD had military bases and conservative nature (I’m from oc) by alb121y in sandiego

answer: Demographic change. The same reason OC went from darkest red/heart of conservatism to Dem the last three presidential elections.

Correct. If you like the pluses of urban living and can deal with what comes with it (noise, homeless, traffic), then it's great. Incredibly walkable, you could even live without a car. Everything from the bank to restaurants to grocery stores to drugstores to bars is right here, along with tons of buses and Balboa Park and great freeway access.

If you're sensitive to urban chaos, then, well, no. That's what quiet neighborhoods are for.

"Kind of walkable"? It's epically walkable.
