Summary
City Hall’s brutal budget cuts—$100 million slashed, including shutting half the public restrooms at Mission Bay—are sparking public outrage, exposing a vicious cycle: distrust fuels resistance to new funding, making it harder to fix the fiscal crisis. Meanwhile, San Diego’s housing market shows surprising shifts: vacancy rates hit a six-year high, rents dipped more than in most major cities, especially for smaller units, thanks to a flood of new apartments. But the relief isn’t universal—downtown’s market-rate boom hasn’t trickled to older, cheaper neighborhoods. The takeaway? More supply alone won’t solve affordability; city leaders need smarter, broader strategies to help working-class residents.
