BURN, BABY, BURN Fire in Tecolote Canyon Clairemont 2025

This city has a desert climate. Vegetation dies quickly after winter rains end. The majority of San Diego is hills and valleys, which create fire-prone canyons.

Why did the mayor, who grew up in San Diego, allow ADUs to fill backyards in high fire zones like canyons?

Mayor Gloria knows SD has a severe shortage of firefighters. 1:1,400 residents. The national average is 1:500 residents. SDFD response time is 8 minutes, national average is 5 minutes.

The city plans to eliminate historic designation on vintage homes. This change in the law would allow a developer to demolish a lovely home and build an apartment building. The city would get more taxes!!

MAYOR GLORIA, "TRUST ME!

I'm the only one in this city who tells the truth"

• The mayor never addresses these issues:

  • Severe Shortage of Firefighters and Police

  • Create Forever Renters

  • Schools, Libraries, Parks?

  • Local Charm Ruined

  • Less Family Oriented

The worst streets in the nation, yet, Mayor Gloria spent $27.5 Million for a three block concrete bicycle path with lighting and seating, "Pride Promenade" in Hillcrest, to honor the LGBTQ neighborhood. It connects to a 1.2 mile bicycle path.

Todd wants everyone (except himself) to ride a bicycle to work.

The city allows unlimited whole house Airbnbs on any street, changing the character of neighborhoods.

Vintage homes are not cherished in San Diego. Mayor Gloria embraced the Airbnb belief, anything older than the internet is useless. The head of the city's Planning Commission, a builder, got a permit to build 91 units next to a beautifully restored Craftsman home in Golden Hill, one of the oldest and most beautiful neighborhoods in San Diego.

The mayor's "build more" YIMBY viewpoint, echoed by many city and state politicians, brings in big donations and votes, has failed to create housing that 70% of the locals can afford.

The City of San Diego allows the owners of two separate lots, to build 17.5" apart. Fire hazard? Privacy?

SLUMIFICATION OF SAN DIEGO the poorly built new "affordable housing" won't last 20 years

Mayor Todd Gloria modified the state ADU law to allow any quantity of units, on cul-de-sacs on high fire hazard canyons, and basically anywhere, without a requirement for off-street parking.
