Residents throughout San Diego are uniting in solidarity on Saturday, May 6th, to peacefully protest San Diego’s irresponsible overdevelopment policies. Neither the Mayor nor the City Council are respecting the development policy concerns of their constituents, so residents are taking to the streets to make their voices heard.
What these groups oppose:
• Mayor Gloria’s intention to implement SB 10
• Unrealistically dense Community Plan Updates
• Density beyond a reasonable walking distance from transit
• San Diego’s “Bonus” ADU Program
• Ignoring the need for supportive infrastructure that keeps pace with density
• Destruction of our urban canopy
• Shifting San Diegans from future homeowners to lifelong renters
What these groups support:
• Responsible planning
• Growth balanced with infrastructure
• Dense development on transit corridors where appropriate
• Ample parks and open spaces
• Preservation of our urban canopy
• Truly affordable housing policies
• Opportunities for home ownership
• Redevelopment of underused commercial and industrial properties
• Preservation of single-family neighborhoods for future generations
