Climate event resilience and infrastructure modernization continue to emerge as major national priorities in the United States in 2026. Communities across the country are facing increasing pressure from wildfires, flooding, extreme heat, aging utilities, water shortages, and severe weather events.

Government agencies, private developers, and infrastructure organizations are investing heavily in resilience planning, sustainability initiatives, and modernization projects designed to protect communities and strengthen long-term economic stability.

The construction industry in the United States continues to face one of the most significant labor shortages in modern history. In 2026, contractors across roofing, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, framing, and general construction sectors are struggling to recruit and retain skilled workers at a pace that meets growing project demand.

Infrastructure investments, housing demand, commercial renovations, and disaster recovery projects have all contributed to increased construction activity nationwide. At the same time, a large portion of the skilled labor workforce is approaching retirement age, creating a widening gap between experienced workers leaving the field and younger workers entering the trades.

According to industry leaders, workforce shortages are impacting project timelines, increasing labor costs, and placing pressure on operational efficiency. Some contractors report turning down projects due to limited staffing availability.

However, the labor shortage is also creating new opportunities for trade education and workforce development. Trade schools and apprenticeship programs are seeing renewed interest as more young adults reconsider traditional four-year college pathways. Skilled trades are increasingly being viewed as stable, high-income career opportunities with long-term growth potential.

Women are also entering construction leadership and technical roles at higher rates than in previous decades. Industry organizations continue to emphasize the importance of workforce diversity and inclusion as part of long-term labor sustainability.

THE STATE OF THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY HOUSING MARKET IN 2026

By Kristen Thomasino

Why Homeowners Are Choosing to Improve Instead of Move

For decades, San Diego County has remained one of the strongest housing markets in the United States.

Its combination of climate, employment opportunities, educational institutions, military presence, tourism industry, healthcare sector, biotechnology ecosystem, and quality of life continues to attract residents from across the nation.

While the housing market has experienced fluctuations over the years, one trend has remained remarkably consistent:

People want to live in San Diego.

That demand continues to influence both real estate values and home improvement activity throughout the region.

WELCOME FROM THE EDITOR

Investing in Homes, Investing in Communities

San Diego County has long been recognized as one of the most desirable places to live in America. From the coastal communities of Oceanside, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Del Mar, La Jolla, Coronado, and Chula Vista to the inland neighborhoods of Escondido, Poway, Santee, El Cajon, and Ramona, homeowners continue to invest in their properties as both places to live and long-term financial assets.

As we move through 2026, many homeowners are facing important decisions. Should they move? Remodel? Upgrade aging systems? Improve energy efficiency? Expand outdoor living spaces? Or prepare their homes for future generations?

For many families, the answer is not moving at all.

Instead, they are choosing to improve the homes they already own.

Kristen Thomasino is a data scientist, show host, creator of The Social Good Magazine, and 22x author passionate about using data to create positive social change.

Discussions focused on topics such as economic inequality, renewable energy, poverty, climate change, education, gender equality, health care access, mental health access, racial justice, technology, policy reform, immigration reform, gun safety, food insecurity, homelessness, human rights, reproductive rights, animal welfare, political representation, and more.

Thomasino shared, "If we can come together with an open mind and heart, we can create real, lasting changes that will benefit us all. The Social Good Magazine is all about finding examples of people creating positive outcomes. As a keynote speaker, I was happy to share learnings from my journey to improving my strength and reducing my suffering through continuing to try various goods and services. Plus, having the personal discipline to execute the individual work to improve my form.

It's exciting to share with this global audience real-life examples of people I've met in various communities doing projects to uplift humanity, like Miss Ukraine Olga Rechdouni's call for Global Peace Campaign, Raffles Van Exel of Artists for Global Unity with their top 40 billboard song "Why Oh Why," Dr. E. Lance McCarthy and the Soldiers of America housing projects or the George Floyd Foundation community projects to help communities heal, global Activist Marie Lemelle's work to unify more talent for social change, Rose Garcia's work in the residential real estate community, DJ Leslie Ortiz for safe spaces for women to meet and gather, Kristal Kent's healthcare advocacy work with Veteran Voices for Fibromyalgia, Mike Howren's model to help cities across the country unify to increase global tourism and others. Now, with Dr. Wagner's insights and many other global leaders, we can confidently begin to share strategies that we believe can help humanity through generations."

Others shared ideas on empowering women through technology, education, and support for trauma victims across many cultures.

Marie Boucaud, French Activist and speaker at the conference said, "When talking about Violence Against Women, we have in mind physical and sexual violence, but perhaps less the fact that the most dangerous place for any woman to be is home since 58 % of femicides are perpetrated by intimate partners and other family members. A more striking figure still is that in the case of intimate partner homicides, 82 % of the victims are women. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime has published these statistics for their Global Study on Homicide and other valuable information on their website that I encourage others to read to learn more about what is happening worldwide. Violence Against Women extends on a long spectrum from sexist jokes to femicides. The Violent Metre created by French International Observatory on Violence against Women (OIVF) makes it very clear. Still, many other kinds of violence not always labeled as such, and often disguised as simply gender equality and discrimination, take place across all parts of society – at school, work, in the medical field, and in public spheres, to only name a few. We must demand that our institutions and governments take action, but we cannot wait for them. It's absolutely key that we start acting now, individually, and collectively, taking inspiration from our local leaders, always having in mind the crucial importance of having an intersectional approach because it's only by addressing the overlapping forms of discrimination and its multiplying effects that feminism has a chance to include all women and do them justice. In France, inspiring local leaders include but are not limited to Laura Jovignot, Aïssa Maïga, and Sarah Zouak."

Sandy Goldstone, from Australia, gives an inspiring speech about the importance of love in our communities at the conference. Sandy shared her insights about helping others get through trauma and abuse. Sandy's desire to help others has been something always paramount in her life. Her early life included living on the streets and in different shelter types after experiencing her traumas. Trauma and the mental health associated with living through deep suffering can require investment in self-love.

Sandy said, "Where am I getting my energy from, and to whom am I giving it? Am I going to keep focusing on what? There are different circumstances for why life changes. It is how we respond to circumstances. LOVE is fearless. Energy flows where our attention goes....so what we focus on amplifies. Where is your focus now? Love as Truth, Peace and Harmony, or fear, separation, and scarcity as the lie and miscreation? So, we are responsible and accountable for how we direct our light – energy. Bye-bye, victim consciousness, as our point of power always lies at choice. And our choices reflect our values and principles. We become fearless in love, to be limitless love in action when we see our hearts and souls as our own infinite lighthouse for Self-Love, a Divine love that is Pure, Innocent, undivided, eternal, whole, and enough. Spiritually interconnected to the unified field of infinite possibilities, governed by Natural and Universal Laws."

Sandy has had a long career now since her time being homeless, helping others transform with her organization, The Hearts Way, in Perth. She has had the joy and privilege to serve and be in service in the following areas: Hospital Chaplaincy, Minister of Religion, Alcohol and other Drugs, Interpersonal Violence, Sexual Assault and trauma, Homelessness, and Mental health. She also has a BA, Adv Dip Trauma Counselling, Certificates in Emotional Release Counselling and Sand play; children and adolescents, NLP, TFT, EFT, Hypnosis, Therapeutic Massage, Reiki, and Astrology.

Throughout the two days of the event, participants discussed topics such as economic development strategies for creating jobs in developing countries; ways to empower women in the workplace; how to use technology for social good; the power of collaboration between different sectors; creating sustainable models for global peace; mental health awareness and education; understanding trauma through neuroscience; holistic treatment options, and much more.

Another beacon of hope was hearing Dr. Sheila Trapp, a 7-time author, attended from the United States to share her learnings on leadership development opportunities. She has had a long career in the non-profit space, helping others find success with her work. She identified a key area we could focus on in all our communities globally. She shared, "We must consider these issues and their proper components of a definitive fix for the next generation of leaders of a people who will demand change. Nothing on the earth belongs to us, and destroying what has been given to us is most inappropriate. We need peace on all levels, with all people in all facets. In my plight to help develop the next generations of leaders, I am committed to helping them explore ways to bring positive change in this world. It is in them to do so, and we can have justice, equality, and peace. We must stand with them!" Her vision of community stewardship should continue, and her voice should be amplified to our younger generations.

"This event marked another step towards a brighter future for everyone on Earth. We are thankful for the dedicated leaders who attended this important forum and look forward to seeing what positive changes come out of it!" Star-Icon Conferences Dr. Bhavna Kaveti

Sessions at the conference included topics such as "Uniting Nations: How We Can Create Lasting Peace,"; "Understanding Trauma Across Cultures,"; "The Power of Human Rights Activism,"; "Women's Empowerment Through Technology,"; "How to Balance Wellness With Career Goals"; and many others. In addition, participants discussed ways to work together to create lasting peace among nations while respecting individual cultures. In addition to engaging in meaningful conversations around these topics, attendees also had the opportunity to network with each other, which allowed them to form new partnerships that can be used to further their initiatives in their respective fields. The goal of this forum was to inspire action from those present and create tangible solutions that can be implemented across cultures worldwide.

"WWF2023 was an incredible success! We had an amazing turnout from all over the world who were enthusiastic about making a difference. Working with such inspiring leaders dedicated to creating a better world for everyone was an honor. This International Women's Day event was an enormous victory thanks to all its attendees who came together from around the globe with one common goal: global peace." Dr. Bhavna Kaveti.

Thomasino noted, "The World Women Forum 2023 unified 70+ international social good thought leaders passionate about creating a more peaceful, loving, healthy and prosperous world for future generations. The conference concluded with a call to action for furthering global peace initiatives through collaboration between countries worldwide. The attendees agreed that it is only through collective efforts for social good that we can create lasting change for our planet. Seeing how many came together globally for peace, prosperity, love, and health was inspiring.

I look forward to sharing more about the conference in my upcoming episodes of "The Social Good Magazine Show" and the next volume of the magazine."
