Why should you Vote "No" on Measure A? 
 

Learn more about Measure A before casting your vote.

 

Measure A, appearing on the June 2 ballot, proposes a new tax on residential properties that are not occupied as a primary residence for more than half the year. 
 

Frequently Asked Questions

While it is presented as a housing solution, many in our industry and local community have raised concerns about its potential impact.

Here’s what you should know:

• No guarantee funding is dedicated to housing — revenue would go into the City’s General Fund without restriction 

• Will increase costs for homeowners, renters, and housing providers

• Creates a new layer of regulation and administrative oversight

• Will impact property rights and how homeowners use their properties

Be informed before you vote
We encourage all members to review the details and make an informed decision. Your voice matters in shaping the future of housing in San Diego.
