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
Golden Hill’s charm and livability come from its human scale, walkability, and historic character. An 8-story project on A Street would overwhelm the neighborhood, increase traffic and parking pressures, and erase the unique integrity that makes this community special. I support smart, thoughtful growth — but it needs to respect the history, scale, and quality of life in Golden Hill.
We've lived in the area for over 12 years and are well aware of the traffic every day, especially on school days from Albert Einstein Academy drop-offs and pick-ups. Multi-story developments will only make traffic worse and parking horrendous since homeowners already park in the streets.
