Petition is addressed to: Mayor Todd Gloria, Councilmember Stephen Whitburn, Councilmember Joe LaCava, the San Diego Planning Commission, and the San Diego City Council
We, the residents of Greater Golden Hill, urge city leaders to oppose the proposed 8-story, 180-unit A Street apartment project. This development is out of scale with our historic neighborhood, lacks meaningful community engagement, and falls short on affordability. Golden Hill deserves growth that respects our community and protects its historic scale and identity — not profit-driven overdevelopment.
Reason
Greater Golden Hill (Golden Hill and South Park) is one of San Diego’s most historic and architecturally distinct neighborhoods. The proposed 8-story A Street project would disrupt the neighborhood’s unique scale and identity, overwhelm its infrastructure, and set a damaging precedent for future large-scale development.
While we support more housing, this project has been advanced without true community input, does not provide sufficient affordable housing, and disregards protections for public health and safety as outlined in the Mayor’s Executive Order No. 2024-1.
We believe in growth that serves the community — not speculative interests. We call on our elected officials to oppose this project unless it is redesigned to align with the Greater Golden Hill Community Plan, meaningfully increase affordability, and scale appropriately for our neighborhood.
Join us in standing up for thoughtful, community-centered development. Sign this petition to protect Greater Golden Hill.

Why people sign
What makes Golden Hill special is the community that can only come from close house and affordable housing (ample affordable housing). The housing crisis of San Diego will be compounded by allowing these luxury UGLY apartments to built
Preservation of neighborhoods. Please build affordable housing, that blends in with the character of the neighborhood. We do not need more luxury towers that locals cannot afford to live in.
I am a 100% disabled veteran that is concerned about parking and cost of rent. With this new development this will make it difficult for me find parking close and can increase rent around the area in the near future.

I’ve lived in Golden Hill for over 15 years, and I’m signing this petition because this 8-story project threatens the very character and livability of the neighborhood I’ve called home for most of my adult life. I fully support more housing, but not at the cost of community input, affordability, and the historic scale that makes Golden Hill unique. This proposal feels rushed, profit-driven, and out of touch with the people who actually live here. We deserve development that strengthens — not erases — the identity of our neighborhood. I’m urging our leaders to honor the Greater Golden Hill Community Plan and put our community first.
