GOVERNMENT NEWS

  • Encinitas — known as a NIMBY stronghold — is on track to meet its state-mandated overall housing production goal, one of only five areas in the county including San Marcos, Del Mar, and Chula Vista, even though affordable housing targets remain unmet. Residents oppose the new developments, but Mayor Bruce Ehlers said state laws require the city to approve them.  Voice of San Diego

REAL ESTATE NEWS

  • A new analysis shows that only five areas, including San Marcos, are on track to meet new home production targets by 2029, and San Marcos is one of only two places nearing its affordable housing goal.
