San Diego State University professor writes in favor of a Citywide policy would require that a portion of all new housing be desginated as "affordable."
The city of San Diego Planning Commission is pushing for creation of a citywide "inclusionary housing" policy which would require a portion of newly built residential developments to be built and designated as affordable housing. Calavita, a professor in the Graduate Program in City Planning at San Diego State University, supports the move, citing the City's housing crisis and the inequitable distribution of low-income housing within the City as reasons to support the policy.
