2. Generations celebrate Mother's Day (keyt.com) — Families from Oxnard and nearby communities marked Mother’s Day together at the Channel Islands Farmers Market, turning the harbor into a multigenerational celebration spot. Locals shared traditions of brunch, waterfront walks, and remembering moms who couldn’t be there, highlighting how the market has become a yearly gathering place for many families.

U.S. home affordability gap widens as most cities require six-figure income (tradersunion.com) — Oxnard now ranks among the nation’s priciest housing markets, where buyers need six-figure incomes to afford a typical home, alongside cities like San Jose and San Diego. A new analysis shows California dominates the least-affordable list, while many Southern and Midwestern cities remain far more attainable, underscoring the financial pressure on Ventura County–area households.
