Housing Supply, Property Issues Focus of Debates

The Greater San Diego Association of REALTORS® (SDAR) and San Diego MLS hosted back-to-back candidate debates on Friday, February 14, for California’s 50th Congressional District and City of San Diego Mayor. Matthew T. Hall, editorial and opinion director at The San Diego Union-Tribune and president-elect of the national board of the Society of Professional Journalists, moderated both debates in front of a packed room of more than 300 people at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Hazard Center in Mission Valley.

With the March 3 primary election less than three weeks away, candidates in these high-profile races discussed issues most important to our region including the housing supply, rent control and homelessness. The debates, livestreamed on Facebook SDAR, are available to view here. 

“The Greater San Diego Association of REALTORS® (SDAR) and SDMLS are proud to have supported this dialogue on the most important issues to our region, including housing and other property issues that are relevant to our members,” said SDAR president Carla Farley. “These debates provided a forum for the candidates in key races to discuss their perspectives with our members. As can be seen by the turnout of more than 300 attendees, this event was a success and an important opportunity for our community to learn more about our future leaders.”
