Only physical entities should be allowed to buy property. That’s predatory capitalism and it needs to be regulated. Houses are for people and only people not for conglomerates to buy and sell in hike up and make everybody live on the streets causing more homelessness.

To be clear, these are not "ADU's and they are not "granny flats". They are multi-story apartment buildings squeezed onto tiny lots with no consideration for parking and how it will affect the rest of the neighborhood. I live in the neighborhood, and I have no problem with granny flats or building a rental in your backyard. This is completely different, and San Diego's "Bonus ADU" law goes way beyond state law - SB9 and SB10. And the one that was finished right around the corner is renting studio aprtments in it starting at $2,000. It's not affordable and is only enriching developers and corporations.
2k? that's AFFORDABLE in the Bay Area. Try and find something cheaper. You're the cuck to spew affordable housing bullshit and then complain when they try and do it?
Money is all these developers see or care about. Same thing with the equity companies buying up all the single family homes and turning them into money-making rentals. Destroys the homes and the neighborhoods!
And San Diego politicians. Let's not forget that Gloria and buddies are the ones taking big contributions from the developers to break the old rules and enable their profits with the cost going to the citizens. It's happening in residential, in commercial, everywhere. Builders are getting rich, corporations are getting rich, and politicians are right there with them. The entire country needs to enact some kind of laws that corporations can no longer buy homes, or own no more than like, 10. Everyone's bought into "housing shortage" as the reason for increased prices, but corporate ownership turning homes into rentals and STRs dries up inventory which drives up prices which causes rent increases (guess what, corporations never move, they never sell!).
I'm so glad this developer isn't letting people chase him off. They are in an area well served by transit. People have to live somewhere. Denser neighborhoods do change the character, for the better. More people more engaged with the place they live in.
I thought that a Granny flat was a single story home with one room for everything, when did a Granny flat blossum into a two story one bedroom and not a studio...hmmm something is wronge here
God you’re dense. Yes lots of people want to live here, but there is a lack of housing. Therefore, a housing shortage. Do you think telling people not to move here will be a solution. No. An area that is growing is a good thing. Do you want to be like Detroit?
An "ADU" Accessory Dwelling Unit is an "accessory" to a main house. You don't just knock down the main house and fill it all up with ADU's. You should be able to add one ADU if it fits and and there is proper set backs and parking. This is not proper or in the spirit of the rules.

Call it what it is; they may be studios or one bedroom units but it’s a small apartment complex. These days you can repurpose any lawyer joke by using ‘developer’ instead. Environmental impact statements? You can hear those property values dropping; I’d be pissed off too.
In Los Angeles my neighborhood is zoned to have apartments on each lot so many of the surrounding properties are apartments with 20 people in them. The tenants are loud and have around 5 vehicles per unit so there’s no parking available in front of my house and there’s always people getting in and out of their cars. Also people throw trash out on the sidewalk. The benefit though is each unit is going up in price from $1,800 a few years ago now $3,400 for an apartment which is making the value of my home skyrocket.
I always LOL at these homeowners, as if the PUBLIC streets belong to them. The families that will move in are taxpayers too and they can park there too. The spot in from of your house is not your private parking spot.
Actually not true depending where you live ie watch video of danny duncan helping out a lady getting towed from in front of his house and he couldn't even stop it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
if you've ever lived or visited congested neighborhoods with no option of public transportation you'd know how much of a pain it is to fight for parking spots.
@@MarkD3P unless you have a private garage, no one has a parking spot guarantee. When you bought your house you didn’t buy parking rights in the street. Same for your neighbors. Ultimately the common public space is limited and in major cities, people have buy or rent a parking spot in a garage or lot nearby to use.
@@mrparts - of course, I've lived in San Diego in Hillcrest, North Park, University Heights and Normal Heights for 25 years. I understand how parking works. The point we are all making is that the streets are already crowded and people are fighting over spaces. There will simply not be enough street parking available for the people who live here, and will live here. The city is already not taking care of the streets in this neighborhood, and even more traffic will worsen that situation as well. This is just poor planning and mismanagement of the city.
~12 units x ~2 cars per unit = parking WHERE 😂 I'm also reading it's a college town, these won't be affordable at all lmao stop saying it's NIMBY's being mad, the guy is being greedy and taking advantage of the area. He could build 1 story flats with 4 units a but he didn't want to because $$$$$
unfortunately this was not what the adu's were suppose to be ..the intended build was suppose to be a garage size studio apartment in your backyard for a family member like aged parents
Housing hasn’t been built at the same rates in ten years causing a massive shortage nationally. ADUs are necessary to get past our horrible zoning laws and offer low income earners somewhere to live. Your neighborhood’s character is not important relative to housing needs.
Go live in that 💩 then. Or do better in life and do this in wealthy neighborhoods. Mfers doing just fine without yall rich cucks buying poor peoples homes for cheap then building 💩 apts that fall apart immediately and yall charge max rates. Gtfoh with that, “you people need this” 💩 white boy
Clearly spoken by a developer! You suck up other people's houses and destroy neighborhoods. Yes, affordable housing is needed but there must be a better solution than this!
@@MsVictory1945 Not sucking anyone’s houses up. It’s an additional structure built between or behind existing houses. The style is allowed to be dictated by the town planning board to keep a common architectural theme, but the structures need to be built since 10 years of history proves actual developers have no interest in building adequate amounts of affordable housing to keep people off the street. If you want only similarly-built houses around you with no exceptions, feel free to move into a cushy HOA subdivision with stricter bylaws.
@@DrewDienno developers are raping the neighborhoods to use a tiny loophole that makes it legal. Would YOU like to live in one of those? No, and you would not want to live next to one, i am sure.
@@MsVictory1945 okay relax with the word rape, you can argue a point without referencing sexual assault. And I would be more than happy to see ADU’s built in my neighborhood. It would bring diversity and increased tax revenue for local schools and essential services. I currently live in my state’s capitol city, I am one mile from the state house, we have chicken coops in the backyard two houses down, an elementary school and playground behind us, two other dwellings below ours, and single family homes peppered in every few buildings. We have a corner store a half a block away, a police station and firehouse one block away, and we love having a yard, private driveway, and mixed zoning around us. Again, it sounds like you just want a gated community where your neighbors live in a copy of the house you own with equal lot sizes, only single family residential zoning, and setbacks. Which is available to you, but mixed zoning needs to be more present. Us unclean high-density folk won’t bother you behind your development’s 10’ high perimeter wall.
A perfect example of a delvoper take advantage of the system putting g in something that destroying the neighborhood and claiming it's to provide affordable housing what a scam he makeing money and the city officials getting there pockets lined
"...I don't know how they can get away with it." I'll tell you how they more than likely get away with it. Somewhere and somehow someone's campaign funds have been fattened or someone owed someone else a political favor when the call was made to cash in the marker. It's called money in politics and long term it's going to make this country rue the day the Supreme Court ever allowed it.
? There are plenty of rentals available in San Diego. It's not as though these new ones will be anything special, nor any great bargain. The developer must have no imagination or taste whatsoever, to say nothing of pride in his life's work, if all he can think to build is ugly, boxy eyesores in a neighborhood where they simply don't fit in.
These complaints are valid. Some investor is making it terrible for regular people to afford housing. The rent will be super high no matter what. They aren't trying to help.
How is GRANNY going to climb those stairs.. Where will they park cars ? The sewer system issues . All those extra students, schools destroyed. None being built in RANCHO SANTA FE or HOA COMMUNITIES ???
Here is how to solve the affordability crisis: Ban all corporations from buying or owning single family home properties. This would free up so many homes for purchase and also thousands of short term vacation rentals owned by companies that inventory would swell, driving down home prices. With reduced home prices, rentals couldn't be as high, because people would move out to a house. With so many more homes owned by transitional ownership (ie people who marry, die, or move, putting homes up for sale), inventory would continue to be much higher. Higher supply means less bidding wars, lower prices continuing into the future. But this won't happen, because politicians receive money from the corporations and are each doing everything they can to line each other's pockets. That's why massive ADU increases are approved. That's why Midway Rising won after giving Gloria $100k. That's why community planning groups are having all power removed from them.
It is but if you own a home you should have enough parking for yourself. Street parking is street parking and NO, the spot in front of your home is not your personal parking spot.
Nah, the owners of the land wanted to build apartments there, due to the fact that there is a need for housing. If you want parking you can find another place where the population density is low enough so that everyone can have parking. But in San Diego, we have a housing shortage, it's a big city. Housing is not as affordable as when you were growing up. If you're a homeowner in a community you don't get to participate in a cartel by voting for zoning restrictions that block new housing development and keep up the prices of your homes, taking advantage of the fact that it was more affordable when you bought and ignore the affordability crisis. You are part of a community
@@ocean6462 Thanks for your reply and I understand what you are saying. I am not sure if you are referring to me when you say housing is not as affordable when I was growing up, but I grew up in the Bay Area and it was and is extremely expensive. In the Bay Area, there is also a housing and parking shortage. Sometimes what they will create a small parking lot on the first floor of a complex or a small lot directly in front, but still on the property (if that makes sense). I am not speaking of a separate parking lot.
We need housing everything progresses and changes that’s life. I don’t understand what the problem is if you want nothing to change then you’re already dead.

The City of San Diego couldn't care less. They keep screaming that we need more housing. "Housing Crisis!!" The fact is, more housing means more people, means more water usage, means more power usage, means higher prices for you and me. This madness needs to stop. What happened to the days when people wanted no/slow growth??
You mean the good old days when the mostly higher income people and suburbanites used laws to stop housing development, resulting in this housing crisis? Your generation had lower prices if/when you bought homes and now there's high prices due to your NIMBYism
@@ocean6462 There is no housing crisis. Not everyone is going to be able to afford a home. Its always been that way. And the more you build, the more people will come, making the problem worse. If you can't see those things, then you to educate yourself.
@@Winnas Oh I look around every single day. My job requires me to go all over the County and I see more than most. If you think the City is moving in the right direction, you need to wake up from you Gen Z idealistic dream world.
Lol definitely going to increase traffic and will create a parking problem for the neighborhood, now they just need to build a multi level parking structure for those new tenants!
Obviously, baldo developer dude has no plans to live in the "primary residence" ◔_◔ on any of those properties. So his next step will be to tear down the main houses and build ugly McMansions to rent out too, or to sell to other investors who will do the same? Either way, the town faces an influx of revolving renters and absentee landlords. Pity, because it looks like it was once a nice neighborhood.
Bought my property back in 2009 when houses were cheap in this area.Ill be damm if they build these dwellings only to reduce my property value.I buy out every politician to make sure theses are never allowed in my backyard
Developer is doing God's work getting more housing. These morons bought houses where they aren't part of an HOA or restricted zoning area. That freedom that THEY have as homeowners to do whatever the f they want to do with their land applies to other owners as well. They also don't own the street - they can build longer driveways on their land if they need to do so (because their 3rd car doesn't fit in the garage because it is filled with crap LOL). Freedom comes with a cost and if you don't like it move to somewhere where it's limited. We need more housing - I live in single family zoning and hope that I can afford to add 2 ADUs on it for family in the future.
People are the worst part of a community!! I also hate free property. I should be able to tell you what you can do with what you own. Cuz that's what America is all about!
The problem is that corporations are buying up property and no person can compete against corporations
Exactly. This is the only way to compete on a mom pop level.
Ohhhhh a shadow is better than a tent in her front yard. Parking will suck. But come on, people wake up. Look at the big picture.

if you've ever lived or visited congested neighborhoods with no option of public transportation you'd know how much of a pain it is to fight for parking spots.
@@MarkD3P unless you have a private garage, no one has a parking spot guarantee. When you bought your house you didn’t buy parking rights in the street. Same for your neighbors. Ultimately the common public space is limited and in major cities, people have buy or rent a parking spot in a garage or lot nearby to use.
@@mrparts - of course, I've lived in San Diego in Hillcrest, North Park, University Heights and Normal Heights for 25 years. I understand how parking works. The point we are all making is that the streets are already crowded and people are fighting over spaces. There will simply not be enough street parking available for the people who live here, and will live here. The city is already not taking care of the streets in this neighborhood, and even more traffic will worsen that situation as well. This is just poor planning and mismanagement of the city.
Legal but a really disastrous outcome for this modest neighborhood l
~12 units x ~2 cars per unit = parking WHERE 😂
I'm also reading it's a college town, these won't be affordable at all lmao stop saying it's NIMBY's being mad, the guy is being greedy and taking advantage of the area. He could build 1 story flats with 4 units a but he didn't want to because $$$$$
How is it an ADU? Somebody is getting paid off.
That developer needs to live in one of those units.
Liberal👆
@@jimijefferson82 dip💩👆
Its crazy how many stupid people are in this comment thread saying this is cool….
They either are 12, or they are just plain dumb..🤷♂️
@@Skeeskeeskee 👈🏿 Wears two masks to cover the ugly
There are probably lots of people who can only afford the smaller units. This is better than people being homeless.
unfortunately this was not what the adu's were suppose to be ..the intended build was suppose to be a garage size studio apartment in your backyard for a family member like aged parents
they're being built to code so "suppose to be..." is not the reality
Anybody who voted for Obama should not complain.
Because President Obama had . . . 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 to do with municipal housing codes in some rinky little San Diego neighborhood?
Housing hasn’t been built at the same rates in ten years causing a massive shortage nationally. ADUs are necessary to get past our horrible zoning laws and offer low income earners somewhere to live. Your neighborhood’s character is not important relative to housing needs.
Go live in that 💩 then. Or do better in life and do this in wealthy neighborhoods. Mfers doing just fine without yall rich cucks buying poor peoples homes for cheap then building 💩 apts that fall apart immediately and yall charge max rates. Gtfoh with that, “you people need this” 💩 white boy
Clearly spoken by a developer! You suck up other people's houses and destroy neighborhoods. Yes, affordable housing is needed but there must be a better solution than this!
@@MsVictory1945 Not sucking anyone’s houses up. It’s an additional structure built between or behind existing houses. The style is allowed to be dictated by the town planning board to keep a common architectural theme, but the structures need to be built since 10 years of history proves actual developers have no interest in building adequate amounts of affordable housing to keep people off the street.
If you want only similarly-built houses around you with no exceptions, feel free to move into a cushy HOA subdivision with stricter bylaws.
@@DrewDienno developers are raping the neighborhoods to use a tiny loophole that makes it legal. Would YOU like to live in one of those? No, and you would not want to live next to one, i am sure.
@@MsVictory1945 okay relax with the word rape, you can argue a point without referencing sexual assault.
And I would be more than happy to see ADU’s built in my neighborhood. It would bring diversity and increased tax revenue for local schools and essential services.
I currently live in my state’s capitol city, I am one mile from the state house, we have chicken coops in the backyard two houses down, an elementary school and playground behind us, two other dwellings below ours, and single family homes peppered in every few buildings. We have a corner store a half a block away, a police station and firehouse one block away, and we love having a yard, private driveway, and mixed zoning around us.
Again, it sounds like you just want a gated community where your neighbors live in a copy of the house you own with equal lot sizes, only single family residential zoning, and setbacks. Which is available to you, but mixed zoning needs to be more present. Us unclean high-density folk won’t bother you behind your development’s 10’ high perimeter wall.
He said where are they going to park wtf if he was in they shoes where would u park 🤔
How did those Adu's get approved?
Well, what is it zoned for? If it's not zoned single family homes only, IDK. I wouldn't like it, either.
These are all giant monstrosity is that are not being rented to poor people trust me
A perfect example of a delvoper take advantage of the system putting g in something that destroying the neighborhood and claiming it's to provide affordable housing what a scam he makeing money and the city officials getting there pockets lined
Yes, go for it! We need more housing, ignore typical boomer rhetoric, let them move, and more land for you to build.
Pitbull is a developer? 😎
"...I don't know how they can get away with it." I'll tell you how they more than likely get away with it. Somewhere and somehow someone's campaign funds have been fattened or someone owed someone else a political favor when the call was made to cash in the marker. It's called money in politics and long term it's going to make this country rue the day the Supreme Court ever allowed it.
People don't have a place to live and they're mad about a garden being blocked 🤣
? There are plenty of rentals available in San Diego. It's not as though these new ones will be anything special, nor any great bargain. The developer must have no imagination or taste whatsoever, to say nothing of pride in his life's work, if all he can think to build is ugly, boxy eyesores in a neighborhood where they simply don't fit in.
These complaints are valid. Some investor is making it terrible for regular people to afford housing. The rent will be super high no matter what. They aren't trying to help.
Great - more housing for California !
Why are the Public Schools in this city soo DISMAL ??? MATH , ENGLISH, SCIENCE below 50 % average test scores ???? And that is being generous..
How is GRANNY going to climb those stairs.. Where will they park cars ? The sewer system issues . All those extra students, schools destroyed. None being built in RANCHO SANTA FE or HOA COMMUNITIES ???
Here is how to solve the affordability crisis: Ban all corporations from buying or owning single family home properties. This would free up so many homes for purchase and also thousands of short term vacation rentals owned by companies that inventory would swell, driving down home prices. With reduced home prices, rentals couldn't be as high, because people would move out to a house. With so many more homes owned by transitional ownership (ie people who marry, die, or move, putting homes up for sale), inventory would continue to be much higher. Higher supply means less bidding wars, lower prices continuing into the future.
But this won't happen, because politicians receive money from the corporations and are each doing everything they can to line each other's pockets. That's why massive ADU increases are approved. That's why Midway Rising won after giving Gloria $100k. That's why community planning groups are having all power removed from them.
No house warming gifts from those neighbors
As long as they offer parking for the tenants matter fact they should regulate homeowners that build housing to offer parking for the tenants
If it’s within a certain distance from public transport you don’t need extra parking.
I think the parking is a legit concern. I think a place with that many units should have a dedicated parking lot.
It is but if you own a home you should have enough parking for yourself. Street parking is street parking and NO, the spot in front of your home is not your personal parking spot.
Nah, the owners of the land wanted to build apartments there, due to the fact that there is a need for housing. If you want parking you can find another place where the population density is low enough so that everyone can have parking. But in San Diego, we have a housing shortage, it's a big city. Housing is not as affordable as when you were growing up. If you're a homeowner in a community you don't get to participate in a cartel by voting for zoning restrictions that block new housing development and keep up the prices of your homes, taking advantage of the fact that it was more affordable when you bought and ignore the affordability crisis. You are part of a community
Or every house get a permit for one public spot. If you need more, you need to pay for permit or just use public transit.
Abolish proposition 13: WELFARE FOR THE RICH, MAINLY WHITE PEOPLE SINCE THE 80s & 90s.
@@ocean6462 Thanks for your reply and I understand what you are saying. I am not sure if you are referring to me when you say housing is not as affordable when I was growing up, but I grew up in the Bay Area and it was and is extremely expensive. In the Bay Area, there is also a housing and parking shortage. Sometimes what they will create a small parking lot on the first floor of a complex or a small lot directly in front, but still on the property (if that makes sense). I am not speaking of a separate parking lot.
How do you know a property developer is lying? they open up their mouth
Awwwww a shadow on a garden…come on now where do we draw the line…a shadow over a garden is just beyond…..
aaannnddd it's a bubble
Screw these old NIMBYs, time for change - move if you don't like it.
Wow, there goes the neighborhood
That developer looks so Hollywood like a villain in a movie hahahaha
Honestly I can't blame a developer for following the current laws...h8 the law detail(writers), politicians & those that allowed it.
Can they do that? What about zoning?
Lots of bitter people. If they don’t like it, move.
Your prize is you get to live what you voted for.
Will backfire on the residential neighborhood!
damn it sucks to have homeless. it sucks to have high rent.. How do you FIX IT
?
We need housing everything progresses and changes that’s life. I don’t understand what the problem is if you want nothing to change then you’re already dead.
So, a bunch of grannies move in and everybody says "There goes the neighborhood"? WTF
Fact, studio apartments is what they really are and they usually rent to lower income individuals.
Oh no, not that ladies two bushes lmao
“Integrity”…life comes with no guarantees for any of us, we know. Live and let live so your life can be happy…
What is a Granny Flat?
GREED MO MONEY MO MONEY MO MONEY
They're going to push the cost of sewer upgrades on property owners.

SO UNFARE IN OR LATTER YEARS,WE WORKEDHARD FOR WHAT WE HAVE.THOUGHT IT WOULD BE UNTILL OUR DEMISE. 🕊🇺🇲💕
I see a heart warming story. More housing in San Diego and less people on the streets
The City of San Diego couldn't care less. They keep screaming that we need more housing. "Housing Crisis!!" The fact is, more housing means more people, means more water usage, means more power usage, means higher prices for you and me. This madness needs to stop. What happened to the days when people wanted no/slow growth??
You mean the good old days when the mostly higher income people and suburbanites used laws to stop housing development, resulting in this housing crisis? Your generation had lower prices if/when you bought homes and now there's high prices due to your NIMBYism
@@ocean6462 There is no housing crisis. Not everyone is going to be able to afford a home. Its always been that way. And the more you build, the more people will come, making the problem worse. If you can't see those things, then you to educate yourself.
@@jimkeskey Typical boomer rhetoric, leave your bubble and look around.
@@Winnas Oh I look around every single day. My job requires me to go all over the County and I see more than most.
If you think the City is moving in the right direction, you need to wake up from you Gen Z idealistic dream world.
What happened was that this isn't the 1950s anymore pendejo. This 2023. Get with the times. We need more housing. The population isn't the same. 🙄🙄🙄
Typical liberal Californian. “ We need to solve homelessness, but not in my neighborhood.” 😂
00:59-1:05: It means more people will have housing
1:51-1:57
Lol definitely going to increase traffic and will create a parking problem for the neighborhood, now they just need to build a multi level parking structure for those new tenants!
Traffic is the huge problem from over building that everyone pays. People thought they were buying in to a quiet sfh neighborhood, Wrong!
Obviously, baldo developer dude has no plans to live in the "primary residence" ◔_◔ on any of those properties. So his next step will be to tear down the main houses and build ugly McMansions to rent out too, or to sell to other investors who will do the same? Either way, the town faces an influx of revolving renters and absentee landlords. Pity, because it looks like it was once a nice neighborhood.
Mmmmm… loopholes
It's horrible. No parking. It's going to be horrible for every neighborhood in California.
It’s pathetic! Turning beautiful residential pocket areas into stack and pack apartment/renter areas
NIMBYS doing NIMBY things
get these NIMYB’s out of here
“Not In My Back Yard” strikes again! Move to a neighborhood with an HOA if you don’t like it.
woah. his house actually looks ugly already. Just leave the builders alone
Get over it! Ur in a collage area. Ow. Time for you to move out of the area lol
Bought my property back in 2009 when houses were cheap in this area.Ill be damm if they build these dwellings only to reduce my property value.I buy out every politician to make sure theses are never allowed in my backyard
Developer is doing God's work getting more housing. These morons bought houses where they aren't part of an HOA or restricted zoning area. That freedom that THEY have as homeowners to do whatever the f they want to do with their land applies to other owners as well. They also don't own the street - they can build longer driveways on their land if they need to do so (because their 3rd car doesn't fit in the garage because it is filled with crap LOL). Freedom comes with a cost and if you don't like it move to somewhere where it's limited. We need more housing - I live in single family zoning and hope that I can afford to add 2 ADUs on it for family in the future.
God's work? Take it easy there, he's doing it for money.
Do you own a house?

So worried about parking! We need to stop worshipping cars and build walkable neighborhoods.
You're obviously not a Californian.
They’ll also have to pay the tax on them so let them build
