On Tuesday, December 17, the San Diego Housing Authority approved the sale of Famosa Canyon, a vacant lot in Point Loma, to build more than 70 affordable housing units.
The housing authority voted 9-0 to approve the sale of this land to Bridge Housing Corporation, clearing the way for three affordable housing buildings, each three stories high. The 9 members of the City Council sit as the Housing Authority -- which governs the San Diego Housing Commission.
The lot on the corner of Nimitz and Famosa boulevards has been at the center of a tug of war between the need to preserve open space and the need for affordable housing.
