COMMUNITY PRIORITY
Affordability for Real People
Working families, service workers, teachers, military families, and our young people should be able to afford to stay and build their lives in Oceanside. In order to thrive, we need to support the whole community, not price them out.
01
Housing for a range of budgets
Homes that fit teachers, service workers, veterans, seniors, and young families — not just the top of the market.
02
Protect longtime residents
Stability for renters and longtime neighbors so growth doesn't push out the people who built this community.
03
Manageable cost of living
Keep city fees, utilities, and services accessible and predictable for working households.
04
Services close to home
Accessible, helpful amenities in every D2 neighborhood — not just the parts of town with clout.
Decisions Coming to City Hall
- Sales tax measure: Exhaust every other funding option before asking working families to pay one of the county's highest sales tax rates, and show us where every dollar goes.
- Tax and fee review: Review the tax and fee structure for regressive impacts that hurt working families inequitably.
- Housing follow-through: Nearly 5,000 people sit on a frozen Section 8 waitlist; every promised affordable unit and shelter bed must be delivered on schedule.
