The council voted 7-1 for the package, including a policy update that critics say could worsen segregation.
BY DAVID GARRICK, DEC. 12, 2023: San Diego took an aggressive step toward solving the city’s housing crisis Tuesday when the City Council approved a large and varied package of developer incentives and regulatory changes to spur more construction.
The package, which was approved 7-1 after a contentious three-hour public hearing, includes a developer incentive that critics say could worsen segregation by keeping low-income residents out of high-income areas.
Council members said they are optimistic the benefits of that incentive will outweigh any risks, partly because of some amendments they approved Tuesday.
