Description
Under the City of San Diego’s bonus ADU program, a developer can build more than one ADU on a property as long as every other unit they build on the lot is set aside for affordable rent. But according to city records, the program is not working as city leaders had hoped.
A perfect example can be seen in the College East neighborhood, where six brand new ADUs just went up on a lot that used to have just one single family home.
“This is density plopped down in the middle of a neighborhood,” said Danna Givot with Neighbors for a Better San Diego.
She says there's not a single unit in that College East complex, or another one being built around the corner, that is reserved for people with low or very-low incomes.
“It’s not doing what was intended - which was to create affordable housing. Truly affordable housing in higher income opportunity zones.”
