Less than a day after announcing new plans to tackle housing affordability and homelessness, San Diego Mayor ToddGloria is getting some pushback. Advocates say aspects of the mayor's plan were positive, but current efforts are ineffective and misplaced.
Krueger said aspects of the Mayor's State of the City Address were positive, but current efforts to build more affordable housing are ineffective and misplaced.
“Until the mayor and the council acknowledge that we must build more truly affordable housing, we’re not going to make a dent in the homeless problem,” he said. Deacon Jim Vargas, CEO of Father Joe’s Villages, said he’s feeling optimistic about what he heard in the speech, but he wants to see if the executive order will truly make a difference.“If we can streamline the processes for housing, if we're able to do that, then we're going to cut the expenses that's associated with the construction and development of housing and we’re going to get people off the streets sooner,” Vargas said.
