THE SUNSHINE TAX
Lower wages paired with higher expenses—San Diegans pay $$ for getting to enjoy this climate and quality of life. The abundance of Airbnbs, luxury apartments and ADUs don't make San Diego more affordable or a better place to live and raise a family.

Politicians have skewed laws to favor developers. They are no longer expected to pay funds to improve the streets, sewers and water lines, or for schools, public transit and to hire adequate first responders as needed due to the new construction.
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

A developer wants to fill this quaint Pacific Beach neighborhood with Airbnbs
SAN DIEGANS WITH COMMON SENSE have united to speak to the city council, to ask why are permits given without adequate review of traffic, seismic, and other conditions, why are apartment & ADU complexes permitted in high fire zones and more...
