Mayor Todd Gloria

Ahead of the 128th anniversary of Philippine independence, I spent time with the City of San Diego's Filipino American Employees Association to celebrate the Filipino-American public servants who keep San Diego running with professionalism and pride.

Filipino Americans have long strengthened San Diego through public service, military service, community leadership and a deep commitment to family and belonging. That legacy is alive in City Hall and across our workforce.

The May Revise is focused on the fundamentals and a responsible path forward for San Diego. Even in a tight budget year, we are making disciplined, targeted investments that keep neighborhoods safer and help people get the care they need.

Community leaders said it best:

San Diego is no longer a top 10 most expensive rental market.
The San Diego Union-Tribune reports San Diego is now No. 12, with rents dropping as more homes come online.

This is why we keep pushing to .

More housing means more choices for renters, more competition in the market, and more affordability for San Diegans.

We still have more work to do, but this shows that building more homes to bring down housing costs is the right path forward.
