San Diegans are frustrated with the abuse of power of our elected officials and are “fed up” with being the victims.
Elected officials (from Sacramento to San Diego) are doing everything they can to stop home ownership and create a culture that promotes landlord-controlled rents and living standards.
Based on the perceived intentions, San Diego will be the largest corporate owned landlord city in the country, if they have their way.
A lawsuit that was filed this past month to challenge the San Diego City Council’s recent approval of so-called “Sustainable Development Areas” (SDAs). According to the lawsuit, these new boundaries would incentivize construction of multi-unit backyard apartments on more than 4,600 additional acres in predominantly single-family neighborhoods.
With only minimal affordability and length of affordability requirements, this expansion is likely to lead to gentrification, displacement, and higher housing costs in these relatively affordable neighborhoods.
San Diegans are being displaced daily due to the high cost of rental properties and there are more homeless on the streets.
SB10 encourages developers and outside, for-profit investors to buy up single-family homes in residential zones and replace them with up to 10 units of rental housing, with no credible, comprehensive plan or funding mechanism to provide adequate infrastructure to handle this huge increase in density. Fact is, the city of San Diego now has a $5.3 Billion infrastructure deficit,
which continues to increase daily.
Our elected officials are scraping single-family neighborhoods to profit corporate owned landlords at the expense of homeowners, future homeowners, and renters, with NO environmental impact reports, NO public review, NO parking, and NO common sense!
Join us and be heard! Save our neighborhoods save our City!!
