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
This proposed project increases the affordability of the neighborhood which my partner and I are currently trying to relocate to to be closer to our jobs (both local small businesses in golden hill). This will increase the price of the neighborhood and essentially price us out. Would be a shame as well to see the craftsmen houses of the area demolished for these expensive eyesores.
Any housing developments above three stories in the Golden Hill community would be considered detrimental to the amount of natural light people receive in their homes on the streets. Luxury apartments would price out existing residence and increase the cost of living in the immediate proximity. Golden Hill is a community of working class long time and minority residence. We do not need $3000 1 bedrooms in our neighborhood. Stop the development immediately or cap it at three stories.
