San Diego's new initiative promotes the construction of townhomes and row homes in existing neighborhoods to address the housing crisis, fostering homeownership among first-time and middle-income buyers.
The Small-Scale Neighborhood Homes Initiative aims to soften backlash against new housing by ensuring new projects visually integrate with neighborhood character, unlike high-rise developments.
While city officials assert this initiative is not a revival of a controversial state law, critiques from single-family homeowner groups suggest underlying motives may exist to bypass restrictions.
The city's application for a $7 million federal grant indicates a substantial investment in the townhome initiative, fostering strategies for financing and architectural planning.
