This issue is deeply personal, impacting our ability—and the ability of our families, friends, and neighbors—to continue living in the city we hold dear. Limited affordable housing forces individuals to move far from work, schools, and support networks, uprooting lives and fracturing communities. Many of us face the heart-wrenching dilemma of leaving aging parents behind, raising our children in unfamiliar areas, or confronting housing insecurity.

Chula Vista, a vibrant city with a rich history and diverse community, is at a crucial juncture. As the cost of living soars, it's becoming increasingly difficult for working families and long-time residents to afford housing. Our city risks losing the very people who contribute to its essence, potentially turning it into a community only attainable for the affluent.

We urge the City Council to take immediate action by mandating that all new residential developments in Chula Vista include at least 20% affordable housing units. This move is not merely a suggestion but a necessity to foster inclusive growth. Implementation of such a policy will ensure that Chula Vista remains a city where people of all income levels have a fair opportunity to live and thrive.

By supporting this petition, you're advocating for sustainable housing solutions that preserve the cherished character of our city. We appeal to the city leaders to prioritize the welfare of all residents, ensuring that economic diversity continues to be a cornerstone of Chula Vista's identity.

Sign this petition to support a policy that can protect our homes, preserve our community, and promote a brighter future for all in Chula Vista.
