The @BuildSDorg team is doing incredible work!
Here's their case why Solana Beach, a wealthy coastal town, should not be excluded from SB 79 designation by @SANDAG
BuildSD retweeted
Solana Beach Station qualifies for more housing under SB 79, according to a @buildsdorg analysis, but SANDAG left it off its draft map.
If SANDAG's decision stands, fewer homes will be built near transit.

Earlier this week, Circulate led a coalition letter urging the San Diego Unified School District to build as many homes as possible in its redevelopment efforts. Join Circulate in speaking out in support of housing at the Board of Education meeting tonight!

In honor of National Pedestrian Safety Month, Circulate is highlighting the Imperial Beach Walking Club — a group dedicated to making their community safer for all. Together, we conducted three pedestrian audits where participants shared feedback on ways to improve the area.

Words today in the @BuildSDorg journal: who's riding San Diego Unified's school buses? The answer is a bit more complex than you might think.

🧵 The San Diego region is officially halfway through our 6th Cycle RHNA, simply known as the region’s 8-year housing goals. Some interesting insights from the housing data over the past 4 years. The good news, we’ve gotten some policy/zoning reforms that have delivered increases in market rate & affordable housing. The bad news, it’s not enough. We’re just barely permitting enough market rate housing and we’re nowhere near hitting our affordable housing goals.
Additionally, SB 35’s streamlining provisions are now updated (halfway point of the 6th Cycle) and I’ll go more into what that means at the end of maybe another thread.
Here’s a quick breakdown of SD’s housing data 👇

Del Mar continues to reject a 259-unit housing project that includes 85 affordable homes. State law requires cities that fail to meet housing goals to approve these projects.
Del Mar missed its deadline, so it has to say yes, yet it still delays.
