Coronado officials have thumbed their noses at Gov. Gavin Newsom and state regulators, calling the process “central planning at its worst” and assuring residents that it will be years before the state cracks down.
Developers in Santa Monica are planning 4,500 new apartments under a little-known state legal provision — and the city might not be able to stop them.
Coronado motorists head to the San Diego-Coronado Bridge. Coronado leaders began fighting the affordable housing plan requirement nearly four years ago. A lawsuit filed by the city ultimately failed.The condo owners’ comments represent “the distilled liquor of NIMBYism,” said Stephen Russell, executive director of the San Diego Housing Federation, the region’s largest affordable housing advocacy group.
“With a strand and a bridge separating them from the actual living conditions of those who are working for them, it’s very easy for them to ignore the realities of the people who are paid to be silent and diligent,” Russell said.Sitting on a white wooden bench in a park between the beach and his childhood home, Whitney Benzian said that many on Coronado would welcome housing that is affordable for teachers and firefighters as well as hospitality workers.
Coronado’s elected officials have been open about their disdain for the state zoning program. Mayor Richard Bailey, who referred to the mandate as “central planning at its worst,” also has called the process “absurd and nonsensical” with “no basis in reality.” Donovan was right. State housing officials have yet to enforce the law against Coronado. In December, the housing department sent a letter telling the city it was in violation. City officials responded with an offer to tour the island to show its on-the-ground constraints — and state officials took them up on it, visiting last month.
