BUILDING COMMUNITY WITH DENSITY

The YIMBY Democrats of San Diego say “Yes In My Backyard” to new homes. We’re a grassroots community advocating for housing policy change locally and statewide. The San Diego region is ranked as the fifth most expensive rental market in the country. We need to build many more homes, both deed-restricted affordable and market-rate, especially near transit and job centers. Fundraiser funds go towards pro-housing candidates, communications, and administrative costs.

Our fundraiser hosted in Mission Valley is a testament to this concept. Mission Valley is a thriving neighborhood with a high concentration of residents. By celebrating here, we aim to showcase how density can be used to build a strong, connected, and inclusive community. Join us!

Previous years’ speakers have included local elected leaders such as Mayor Todd Gloria, Asm. David Alvarez, Councilmember Sean Elo-Rivera, Councilmember Kent Lee, Councilmember Stephen Whitburn, and more.
