Our state and city politicians have created laws which favor developers by allowing ministerial (minimal) engineering and traffic reviews of complicated projects.
Coastal Height Limit: Since 1972, a 30-foot height restriction has been in place for areas west of Interstate 5 to protect coastal views.
Geographical and Seismic Factors: The city's location on the coast means dealing with complex soil conditions, including, in some areas like Mission Valley, a lack of bedrock, which makes constructing very tall, heavy buildings more expensive due to necessary seismic reinforcements.
Urban Planning and Character: Historically, there has been a preference for maintaining a lower-density, "sunny" feel rather than building a high-density, high-rise urban core like Los Angeles or San Francisco.
Economic Feasibility: High construction, labor, and, according to a user on Quora, material costs for seismic safety often make super-tall buildings less economically viable
EMAIL POLITICIANS AND GIVE YOUR OPINION. AN EMAIL IS A LEGAL DOCUMENT that the city has to read, record and save.
REALTORS ADVICE: AVOID MOVING TO THE WRONG AREA OF SAN DIEGO

SAN DIEGANS WITH COMMON SENSE have united into neighborhood groups. They speak to the city council to ask why building permits are given without adequate review of traffic, seismic, engineering and other conditions, why ADU complexes are permitted in high fire zones on narrow cul-de-sacs without adequate parking, why the city is not protecting historical buildings and more.
