The following instructions were given to candidates: If elected to the City Council, housing will be a key issue for you to address. So that voters can better understand your perspectives and positions, we are asking all candidates for City Council (Districts 2,4, 6, and 8) to complete this housing and development questionnaire.
The following topics are covered in this questionnaire: infill development in single-family neighborhoods, infrastructure funding, and development and transit.
After you complete the questionnaire, we will also offer you the opportunity to attend a town hall meeting in your district, hosted by Neighbors For A Better San Diego.
