Circulate San Diego

Our campaign to reform community planning takes a big step forward.

Last week the City of San Diego released a survey of members of community planning groups.

The survey was reported by the Voice of San Diego.

This survey provides clear and unambiguous evidence that San Diego’s system of community planning excludes many voices, and must be reformed if it is to continue.
