It includes provisions to restrict institutional investors from buying homes, ease rules for manufactured housing, and expand assistance for veterans. The law also introduces financial incentives and penalties tied to housing production, encouraging cities to build more housing. This approach marks a shift in federal policy, as it ties funding to actual housing outcomes rather than just reforms.

San Diego's Zoning Changes Lead to High-Rise Housing Replacing Iconic Businesses

San Diego's Zoning Changes Lead to High-Rise Housing Replacing Iconic Businesses

San Diego is undergoing a significant transformation as aggressive zoning changes have led to the replacement of well-known businesses with high-rise housing. Sites such as Fry's Electronics in Serra Mesa, Perry's Cafe near Old Town, and a Rite Aid in Hillcrest are being redeveloped into tall apartment buildings. City officials attribute this trend to recent updates in neighborhood growth plans, which have rezoned many commercial properties for dense housing. Developers are capitalizing on the falling demand for commercial space, driven by online shopping trends, making residential projects more profitable. The city is seen as an attractive investment location due to streamlined development processes, which allow for quicker construction without lengthy public approval. This shift aims to address San Diego's housing shortage and prevent commercial properties from becoming vacant eyesores.
