Through Deliberative Engagement

Try talking with someone about housing affordability in San Diego County. After exchanging sensational numbers on the latest rental rate hikes, home prices, or lengthening commute times, the conversation can end in a hopeless conclusion about the intractable situation.
The San Diego Deliberation Network has been focused on how the San Diego community can come together to deliberate about our housing affordability crisis. We seek to tap into the community’s capacity to think through the facts about this issue and participate in problem-solving, as area cities, San Diego County, and California legislators respond to the urgent needs of our most vulnerable residents and impacted employers.
While the key driver of the crisis is the insufficient supply of housing to meet the demand, there are many inter-related issues that make potential solutions complex. We've framed a discussion guide that offers broad, competing perspectives to explore the tensions of housing affordability in San Diego.
Coming together as a community to talk about and assess the competing trade-offs about housing affordability can increase our community’s capacity to make decisions on our collective critical problem.
