PRIORITIES & ISSUES
Priority Issues
Building a San Diego Where Community Voices Shape Our Future
01
Coastal Protection & Development
District 2’s coastal neighborhoods face increasing development pressure that threatens the 30-foot height limit, public beach access, and community character. I’ll defend our coastal protections by strengthening community planning processes, opposing height limit exceptions, and requiring all new development to include infrastructure improvements and maximize public access to our beaches and waterfront. I’ll champion policies prioritizing affordable housing while preserving neighborhood character, ensuring that development serves residents rather than outside investment interests.
02
Housing Affordability Crisis
Working families, seniors, and young professionals are being priced out of our coastal communities due to skyrocketing housing costs. I’ll work to create housing solutions that serve all income levels by streamlining permits for accessory dwelling units, expanding first-time homebuyer assistance programs, and converting underutilized commercial properties to mixed-use developments. I’ll push for inclusionary housing requirements that ensure new developments include truly affordable units while opposing one-size-fits-all state mandates that don’t account for our unique coastal needs.
03
Climate Resilience & Environmental Protection
Our coastal district is uniquely vulnerable to climate impacts while experiencing the loss of urban tree canopy and green space. I’ll push for full funding of San Diego’s Climate Action Plan, expand urban forestry efforts through partnerships with organizations like Kate’s Trees, and ensure our infrastructure planning accounts for sea level rise and coastal erosion. I’ll champion improved stormwater management to prevent pollution of our beaches and bays, and work to create more accessible green spaces throughout District 2 neighborhoods.
