Opinion: Planning commission was right to strike down SB 10. Let's slow down on housing density. [Opinion]

If Mayor Gloria is in search of higher density and crowding, he should run for mayor in Los Angeles.Keep Todd Gloria in view at all times. Remember in 2022, Gloria awarded a bid to a developer who, with his wife, donatedCity Council moved too fast on housing density

The embrace of Senate Bill 10 may be stalled in San Diego, but it is already too late for us. Our adjacent property owner plans to add nine units behind the existing house on his approximately 8,000-square foot lot, a density of about 54 units per acre. No additional parking, owner-occupancy, or even city residency will be required.

Per a City Council vote in February, we are now in a Sustainable Development Area, nine-tenths of a mile from two local bus stops. This is a Very High Fire Risk Area, actually the exact location of the 1985 Normal Heights fire that destroyed 76 houses and damaged 57 others. We were evacuated last year when another wildfire broke out. How could packed-in renters evacuate?

City staff explained this project could be approved under existing code as revised by the council’s vote in February. Mayor Todd Gloria and council members Stephen Whitburn, Sean Elo-Rivera, Monica Montgomery Steppe, Kent Lee and Vivian Moreno betrayed us long-time homeowners with callous indifference. We will never, ever forget.
