San Diego rents fall 5.5%—proof that building housing works.
Add 6,000 apartments, prices drop.
This eases pressure on voucher programs, helps low-income renters, makes the city more accessible.
Want sustained affordability? Keep building.

What are local electeds doing about conditions at the SCORE jail ? It is not enough to stand up to ICE while ignoring how our carceral state is failing to protect the health & safety of those impacted by system.

Media challenge: Stop using the word "immigration" in phrases about abduction, assault, murder, and so on. Immigration means the movement of people into a country for purposes of residency. What's being "enforced" here is terror & crimes against humanity.

Sound Transit CEO Dow Constantine says the early estimate of Link ridership yesterday during the Super Bowl victory parade was 200,000, an conservative number that is expected to be revised upward.
That beats the 160,000-rider previous high water mark for Link.
Sounder saw around 20,000 boardings.
