County Supervisors last week approved new county rules to expedite housing construction in unincorporated communities.

Attempts to tackle housing affordability in San Diego require substantial additional supply. Unincorporated areas represent both a substantial opportunity and a complex challenge. Each development must be evaluated with appropriate consideration to urban planning , basic infrastructure , safety , and environmental concerns. Prioritize the best proposals, adequately mitigate the identified impacts, and require clear responsibilities for all municipal services.

While I want clean air and reduced pollution like anyone else, I also would prefer lower poverty, less homelessness, and more opportunities for families to achieve the American dream.Onerous rules and regulations currently restricting housing development in unincorporated areas leave only the very wealthy able to afford to build there. Such restrictions should be eased in consideration of regional housing needs.
