Tomorrow afternoon, my updates to the City’s #InclusionaryHousing regulations are coming to Council.
“@SDCityCouncil is set to vote Tuesday on Council President @GGomezD9’s proposal to force developers to pay for or build more low-income #housing as part of their projects. Gómez says the time for negotiating is over.” voiceofsandiego.org/topics/governm…
So apartment construction is slowing because rents are not rising fast enough for developers? Supply side trickle-down does not work in housing, as with most other life essentials. sandiegouniontribune.com/business/real-…

.@BuildBetterSD was there too to ensure incentives were targeted at the real need. Until there is an alternative housing delivery model incentivizing private developers is one of our limited options. Next up, new language will be drafted for City Council consideration.
Thank you to my colleagues, @CirculateSD, @SDHFtweets, SD Housing Commission, BIA, and Planning Dept. staff for your support of my middle income housing proposal. It is vital that we increase the housing supply in San Diego and provide opportunities for middle-income families
[THREAD] A year ago, a housing policy was forwarded by the Mayor and the Building Industry Association (BIA), and it's coming back to the #SanDiego City Council Land Use & Housing Committee today, chaired by @vivianmorenoSD, with @ChrisWardD3, @CMJenCampbell, & @ShermanSD7. 1/

We’re glad to announce the resolution of our lawsuit against @CivicSanDiego & @CityofSanDiego: “It’s taken a long time but there’s finally an ability to weigh in with elected officials on developments in our communities, & that is what the people of San Diego need and deserve.”

Great article by two of our coalition members. “Commentary | How transit hub could be vital step to address housing crisis” sandiegouniontribune.com/opinion/commen…
When the @sdmts website boasts so clearly about having one of the highest fare box recovery ratios (e.g. profits from rider fares) in its class, it seems like you might be onto something, Ben.
This story feels impossible but is actually real. Anyone in any position to influence public policy and the implementation of public works projects should read this. We can be as good as this, all the time. #CommunityBenefitsAgreements #PublicWorks #Infrastructure #MakeItMatter

The challenge for San Diego's working class is finding work that will allow them to support their families and a viable means for commuting when the only housing they can afford is often in neighborhoods much further away. #TransitJusticeIsWorkerJustice sandiegouniontribune.com/opinion/sd-new…
