Chicano Federation is pleased to announce its participation in Our Greater San Diego
Vision, an unprecedented effort to plan for the future of the greater San Diego
region. You might wonder why this is so important, so take a quick look at what's
at stake:
- The region is projected to grow by 1.3 million people (65% will be our own children
and grandchildren) over the next 40 years. That is equal to the entire population
of the City of San Diego today. Where will they live, learn, work and play?
- The San Diego region's housing costs are more than twice as high as the U.S. average.
- 1 in 3 of our high school students does not graduate.
These facts demonstrate the need to plan for the future and 78% of San Diegans believe
that a grand plan is needed to preserve or improve the quality of life in the region.
Led by The San Diego Foundation, Our Greater San Diego Vision seeks the input of
all residents to identify a vision for the region in the decades to come.
After more than a year of in-depth researching, polling, and community workshops,
everyone in the region is being asked to join the conversation about what San Diego's
future should be. Be sure to spread the word to your family and friends, then Voice
Your Choice beginning on November 30 at
