Officials in San Diego cite that unless affordable housing starts being built throughout the county, the region will be racially segregated.
The San Diego Regional Government Efficiency Commission met last week, concluding that unless affordable housing is built throughout San Diego County, the region will become racially segregated. Panel officials claim that too many cities are not doing enough to meet the needs of low-income residents. Some neighborhoods have opposed low cost housing because they want to keep minorities out, some panel officials argue. The commission is to begin the framework for a future vision statement for the region, including increasing the amount of affordable housing and reviving older neighborhoods. The group faces an August 1st deadline for making specific recommendations to the Legislature.
