Residents of Solana Beach love their San Diego suburb for its beautiful beaches, friendly small-town community, and excellent public schools. Visitors and locals alike enjoy walking the art-filled Coastal Rail Trail, catching waves at Seascape Surf Park, and exploring the local shops and galleries on Cedros Avenue. In keeping with most of the California coast, housing costs in Solana Beach are very expensive. We think SB 9 can help solve that problem by making more affordable home options for young families and first-time home buyers.
