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
Because my kids go to school across the street and I am very worried about dangerous traffic condition and the exposure the entirety of the school campus has to the building. This is a huge safety concern!
I have a student at Albert Einstein Academy Elementary School.
The increase from such a large building in traffic, parking issues and density will create an unsafe pedestrian area for the 800+ elementary (age 4-10) students that attend the school.
The school uses B St. for drive up drop off and pickup of students. With this 8 story building there will be such a density increase directly across the street that the logistics of the school’s operations will be greatly negatively impacted.
