If we want San Diego to be bring down housing costs, we have to #BuildMoreHomes people can actually afford. In #SanCarlos, @CHWorks broke ground on Navajo Family Apartments — 45 affordable homes supported by @CityofSanDiego, @theSDHC, @SanDiegoCounty and partners.

Building more homes is not a left or right issue. It’s builders versus blockers. At @BPC_Bipartisan’s #HousingSummit26, I joined mayors from across the U.S. to talk about how me must cut red tape, speed up permits, and #BuildMoreHomes to bring down the cost of housing for you.

I’m honored to now serve as President of @usmayors. The first Mayor from San Diego and the first openly LGBTQ+ mayor to lead this national organization.  I'm using this platform to advance solutions that build more homes, keep neighborhoods safe, and expand opportunity.

As President of @usmayors, I’ll elevate the issues that matter most to our city: building more homes to bring down housing costs, keeping neighborhoods safe, and expanding opportunity.
