Good morning, San Diego.
Remember at the beginning of this month when I told you that the County’s population is growing — despite the popular belief we are shrinking.
So if the population’s growing, have our region’s development dreams kept up with the demand? Bill Fulton, a learned scholar on housing policy, is back to explain his “yes and no” answer to that question.
In the last three years we’ve added more housing units than any other county in the state, besides Los Angeles. And in San Diego County, the majority of these new housing units were in multi-family projects.
Fulton, a professor at UCSD and a fellow at UC Berkeley, dives into the numbers on this and, how despite being above the state average for new multi-family projects, we still aren’t leading in that field.
Speaking of apartments: San Diego Unified recently approved the largest educator workforce housing project in California history.
Our Drew Sitton has more on the 11-story, 1,500 unit development that will land on the district’s current University Heights headquarters.
