Recently, SDCAA shared a news piece regarding rent control in the City of San Diego. The piece was about a San Diego resident initiating an online petition calling on San Diego to impose some sort of rent control or limiting rental increases. While there are no rent control proposals at this time, the SDCAA has been closely monitoring the situation and is working to ensure that elected officials understand that imposing artificial controls on the city’s rental market is a flawed policy that will only exacerbate the lack of affordability in the San Diego region.
The San Diego County Apartment Association has long stated there is a need for additional housing units in our region and throughout the state, which have been the topic of several articles shared in recent SDCAA communications. Our industry partners, such as the Building Industry Association of San Diego, have been focused on achieving this very goal. SDCAA also is a member of the Housing You Matters coalition which advocates for regulatory changes that will help decrease the cost of construction. We also strongly urge communities to embrace multifamily housing and add the density of more units where it is appropriate. The reality, as population increases because of the growing birthrate, changes in demographics, and land available for development shrinks, the region must add more multifamily housing units.
Thank you for your continued membership and support of the rental housing industry. We will keep you informed on this topic and others that may impact your business.
