Opinion: San Diego created homelessness problem in East Village by displacing affordable housing [Opinion]

Downtown San Diego condo owners grow weary as homeless incidents escalate. ‘You name it, I’ve seen it.’

” : Unlike the wildlife that retreats to nearby canyons, or is simply razed over when overdevelopment takes hold of our beautiful landscape, the residents of East Village have been pushed to the sidewalks. We are seeing the result of a very intentional campaign to force the cost of living to a price too high for most residents.

There was a thriving community whose members resided in East Village for its affordable rent, but they have been replaced by looming skyscrapers that entice a wealthier class with hot tubs, overpriced food and diluted “culture.”For these new residents to complain of homelessness without seeing themselves as a part of the problem shows an amazing lack of self-awareness and humanity.

Lots of workers fired for disobeying vaccine mandates, leading to even more out of work, out of home

Disagree

Not true. I built apartments in East Village w/o tearing down any residences. They were vacant lots, old warehouses etc. not many people lived in East Village 20 years ago. Lots of homeless from out of state all corralled in East Village until the City herds them to Hillcrest.

pplscouncilSD Now they waste millions on isolating these individuals rather then placing them in homes. We are not criminals WE ARE AMERICANS.

Such a brave article! Gawd this paper has become unreadable. I wonder if anyone at this paper pushing this agenda actually lives in the city because it’s a disaster. Trash and zombies everywhere and it’s a ghost town in regard to businesses… FOR LEASE signs everywhere. 💁🏻‍♂️

😒 It's UNFORGIVABLE! 😡 They (SD gov't) doesn't even KNOW how many affordable units 'disappeared'? 🤦🏾‍♀️ Anywhere from 2,000 to 9,000!!! That's obscene! 🤢 Hey Mayor ToddGloria? You were around for this debacle—then you made it WORSE!? 🤦🏾‍♀️ Homelessness

pplscouncilSD They call this “gentrification”🤬

Not true. They created the crisis by placing homeless industrial complex in East Village. Which made it a destination for transient homeless folks. And then MayorToddGloria CMWhitburnD3 stopped enforcing encampment and other quality of life laws.

It doesn't help that people are buying affordable housing and then turning it around to charge more. Make it illegal to rent out houses and not be able to resell affordable housing for more than what it was bought for.

Drug Addiction Crisis.

Keep voting for those people then

These folks can’t maintain a tent let alone a house.

Petco Park accelerated this.

Opinion: Let the San Diego housing market work toward equilibriumThis year rent increases are diminishing and local rental vacancy rates are up, as a result of a net out-migration due to our affordability crisis. Every new 'housing unit' adds to the use of electricity and water, where are those limited resources going come from? If all new construction can't use nat. gas, that makes the demand for electricity even greater, solar can't compensate in the winter months.
