The San Diego Union Tribune recently ran a story about the growth in commuter traffic. The article quoted Jeff Tayman, director of research for SANDAG, who said that to address the problem we need to create more housing opportunities close to jobs.
In the last 25 years, the number of commuters from outside San Diego who drive through our neighborhoods has doubled with our inability to create new homes close to San Diego’s jobs at a fast enough pace. Workers are driving longer and longer distances, and sprawl is increasing as a result. This threatens our families’ quality of life with more emissions and longer commutes, and is very expensive with the rising cost of fuel.
With Quarry Falls, we can help alleviate the increasing congestion caused by commuter traffic by providing homes close to jobs in Mission Valley.
