A proposal to stimulate more housing production in the city was opposed from multiple sides.
The San Diego City Council rejected a housing proposal from the city’s mayor, reports Chris Jennewein in The Times of San Diego.
According to Jennewein, “The plan drew controversy because it would allow developers to build market-rate and required affordable housing in different areas, potentially reinforcing existing patterns of low-income housing.” The plan was also opposed by residents concerned about increased density in single-family neighborhoods.
The article notes that “Gloria’s plan also included incentives for building new single-room-occupancy hotels, which would cater to homeless individuals, and convert underutilized commercial sites and public land for new housing.”
