VOTE NO ON MEASURE A
City Hall politicians put Measure A on the ballot to cover up their failure to balance the budget. It's a $10,000 per year housing tax, and none of the money from the new tax goes to any housing or homeless programs.
Don't be fooled by City Hall! This measure has nothing to do with making housing more affordable. It's just another broken promise from the failed politicians. Vote No on Measure A!
Ballots will begin arriving in early May, and the election is June 2, 2026.

San Diegans need real solutions that increase housing affordability, not another tax that drives up costs and delivers no guaranteed results.
ABOUT
What is Measure A?
Measure A is a new housing tax placed on the ballot by the San Diego City Council.
It would impose up to $10,000 per year in new taxes on certain housing, with revenue going into the City’s General Fund.
Ballots will begin arriving in early May, and the election is June 2, 2026.
Why Vote No on Measure A
Measure A will do nothing to solve the housing crisis, and everything to make it worse.
Here’s why:
- Raises housing costs for renters and families
- Does not build a single new home
- No guarantee the money goes to housing
- Can’t trust City Hall to spend it as promised
- Permanent tax with no sunset
San Diegans deserve real solutions, not another costly and unaccountable tax.
It Doesn’t Fix the Real Problem
San Diego’s housing crisis is driven by a lack of supply.
Measure A does not:
- Increase housing supply
- Lower construction costs
- Reduce regulations
- Speed up permits
Instead, it adds a new tax without addressing the root causes of the problem.
It Adds Costs in an Already Expensive City
San Diego is already one of the most expensive places to live in the country.
Adding new costs to housing places additional pressure on prices in a market that is already strained.
That means higher costs and fewer opportunities for San Diegans.
No Guarantees. No Accountability.
Measure A is a general tax, meaning the money is not legally required to go to housing.
Funds can be spent at the discretion of City Hall.
At the same time, public trust in how the City manages taxpayer dollars is low.
Measure A asks voters to approve a permanent tax without clear safeguards or guaranteed results.
More Bureaucracy. More Complexity.
Measure A creates new rules, compliance requirements, and administrative systems.
That means:
- More red tape
- More costs
- More uncertainty
- Greater risk of unintended consequences
There’s a Better Way
If leaders are serious about housing affordability, they should focus on:
- Building more housing
- Reducing regulatory barriers
- Streamlining permitting
- Lowering construction costs
- Encouraging investment in new homes
Real solutions increase supply and lower costs, not the other way around.
