Research shows that the Coastal Commission's restrictions on housing have raised home prices by at least 20% and reduced population density within the coastal zone, and that prices within the coastal zone have risen faster than prices outside of it. cayimby.org/blog/how-an-oi…
ShoreLINE's 124 affordable homes on MTS land near Grantville trolley will house hundreds of San Diegans at rents ≤30% of income. We must replicate this model on public land to boost housing supply & reduce car dependence. fox5sandiego.com/news/local-new…

One underlying issue that needs to be addressed to get to the root of impact fees is Prop 13. We need to decide how to properly fund our local governments so that new development isn’t burdened with providing public benefits that should be paid for by a much broader tax base.

SD's housing crisis shows signs of hope: March had the smallest gap between those falling into & escaping homelessness in 2 yrs. Progress, but not enough. We must redouble efforts on prevention, affordable housing & rapid rehousing to end this crisis. kpbs.org/news/local/202…
Salvation Army's $119M shelter expansion is a lifeline, not a solution. With homelessness outpacing housing placements for 2 yrs, we need a massive surge in abundant housing to end the crisis. nbcsandiego.com/news/local/sal…
In Solana Beach, a project went from $414K to $1M+ per unit due to fees & red tape. This SCOTUS ruling reining arbitrary housing fees could help - but much more is needed. We must keep slashing obstacles to make housing affordable in SD & statewide. calmatters.org/commentary/202…
Governor @GavinNewsom allocates $11.4M to address homelessness in Oceanside-Carlsbad, part of $192M statewide effort. Funds enhance services like safe parking, shelters & housing. Cities must show results or lose future grants. sandiegouniontribune.com/communities/no…

Innovative Palm City Transit Village breaks ground in San Diego, pioneering solar+battery storage to create sustainable, zero-energy affordable housing. $8M state grant enables testing new tech to address both the housing crisis & climate change. sdbj.com/real-estate/ap…
Butterfield Ranch's neglect highlights CA's housing crisis. Residents suffered for months without clean water while officials failed to act. This is the inevitable result of the failure to build and the people having to move further from CA's cities. sandiegouniontribune.com/opinion/commen…
New report shows that for 24 months, more people have become homeless than housed due to high costs & low housing supply in SD. Urgent need for abundant housing for all incomes, prevention, & rapid solutions to reverse trends. 10news.com/news/local-new…

This transformative TOD project by @sdmts, @GreystarApts & @AffirmedHousing is an important example on how a parking lot with single purpose can become a place for homes!
In the vast majority of US cities, roughly two-thirds of new "luxury" apartments are naturally affordable to households earning 80% of the area median income. Is the market more "inclusionary" than inaptly-named IZ mandates? metroabundance.org/how-inclusiona…
INTERACTIVE MAP & RESEARCH: How much of your city's new housing is priced affordable to low-income families? Probably more than you think! Glad to be in @metroabundance: metroabundance.org/how-inclusiona…
With Mayor Todd Gloria and MTS Board Chair Stephen Whitburn in attendance at the grand opening, we celebrated another milestone in our mission to create vibrant, sustainable communities in San Diego.
🎉 Exciting News Alert! 🏘️ We're thrilled to announce the completion of ShoreLINE, a brand-new, 100% affordable housing community in San Diego. Located at the Grantville Transit Center, ShoreLINE offers homes for families and individuals earning 30-60% of the area median income.
When states remove minimum parking mandates, most builders still build parking, because they: 1⃣Know homes with on-site parking rent & sell for more than comparable homes without parking. 2⃣Think the extra revenue outweighs the parking’s cost. Examples:🧵 x.com/SukritGanesh/s…
ShoreLINE, another new 100% affordable housing project, is now open in #Grantville! These are more homes for hardworking, low-income San Diegans located at a trolley stop providing residents with transportation choice and helping us meet our climate action goals! #ForAllofUs
@paulkruegersd low supply + high demand = high prices. hope this helps!
@paulkruegersd There is a large and growing body of research that directly contradicts your spurious claim Paul. x.com/geographyjim/s…
What happens to housing affordability when new homes are built in the local area? Recent economic papers have tried to answer this question, and a new Greater London Authority report summarises their findings data.london.gov.uk/housing/resear… Here's a thread to summarise the summary:
@paulkruegersd WRONG x.com/JeremiahDJohns…
Every piece of info we have suggests that building housing reduces rents quick thread:
@paulkruegersd Austin did exactly this
@paulkruegersd @pewresearch disagrees with you. "The academic research has consistently found that allowing more homes to be built keeps housing costs down... the findings suggest that allowing more housing to be built, whether subsidized or not, can reduce homelessness."
My family paid the ultimate price. Many of my close friends have too. But other families don't have to. Please @MayorToddGloria, fix the Fatal 15 intersections. Traffic deaths are at a 10-year high in San Diego. This will save lives. Aren't lives worth investing in? #visionzero
🚦 Urging action! Circulate and allies call on @MayorToddGloria to address the #Fatal15 – San Diego's most dangerous intersections. Safety is non-negotiable; prioritizing Vision Zero is essential. Read our letter: circulatesd.org/letter_mayor_s… #VisionZero
Research shows that the Coastal Commission's restrictions on housing have raised home prices by at least 20% and reduced population density within the coastal zone, and that prices within the coastal zone have risen faster than prices outside of it. cayimby.org/blog/how-an-oi…
From the opening of @sdmts @AffirmedHousing 126 affordable units back to Downtown on the trolley with @CMWhitburnD3!
It was such an honor to recognize Naomi Girma, the 2023 women’s soccer Player of the Year; and meet Alex Morgan (!) and watch the @sandiegowavefc win 2-1 against the Bay last night!
Then delays for an item to upzone vacant land to build apartments in San Diego @YIMBYDemsSD
Meanwhile, the commission is set to delay plans to build housing and allow homeless shelters elsewhere in the coast! First up, on the 8th are plans to delay implementation of SB 9 in the exclusionary coastal city of Del Mar.
One underlying issue that needs to be addressed to get to the root of impact fees is Prop 13. We need to decide how to properly fund our local governments so that new development isn’t burdened with providing public benefits that should be paid for by a much broader tax base.
In Solana Beach, a project went from $414K to $1M+ per unit due to fees & red tape. This SCOTUS ruling reining arbitrary housing fees could help - but much more is needed. We must keep slashing obstacles to make housing affordable in SD & statewide. calmatters.org/commentary/202…
