Day 3: The Importance of Neighborhood Quality "Neighborhood quality directly affects property appreciation. Homes in areas with strong community ties, excellent schools, and low crime rates often appreciate better over time. A safe and supportive community is always a wise investment. #NeighborhoodValue #RealEstateInvesting #SoulaNeofotistos"

Official Community Plans (OCPs) shape what’s possible on any property. Understanding OCPs, Neighborhood Plans, and Local Area Plans ensures your projects fit community goals. #CommunityPlanning #OCP #RealEstateDevelopment

San Diego's housing crisis is more than just a shortage—it's an affordability crisis. Mayor Gloria's push for dense development without proper infrastructure has led to a mass exodus and compromised our city's livability. We need a plan that prioritizes community input, enforces affordable housing promises, and streamlines the permitting process to ensure we meet our housing goals and protect our neighborhoods. As your Mayor, I'll focus on genuine solutions, accountability, and preserving what makes San Diego great. #larryturnerformayor #SanDiegoHousingCrisis #lt4sd #sandiego #sandiegopolitics #AffordableHousingSD

October is National Community Planning Month! Planning is essential for the health, safety, equity, and economic well-being of all people living in our communities. Across the country, communities celebrate planning in different ways. Earlier this month, Mayor Jan Kaplan proclaimed October as Community Planning Month in the City of Newport, Oregon! The City of Salem also celebrated by hosting their third annual Planner Palooza this year with games and opportunities to meet city planners. Planning does not stop at a geographic border, though. Communities are served best when planners take a broader viewpoint, encompassing regional and statewide perspectives. At DLCD, we are guided by 19 statewide planning goals, which address local processes for land use planning, state resource preservation, and guidance for urban, rural, and coastal development. Oregon land use requires comprehensive planning, which means communities must consider not only the many issues that affect their community, but the impacts their actions will have on neighboring communities, transportation, the land itself, and economic development.

Nearly every other effort at community betterment – economic growth, quality of life, early childhood learning and more, will be hindered if public safety is inadequately addressed. It is necessary to take a broad perspective of what constitutes public safety – yes, it includes law enforcement and fire suppression but also emergency planning, emergency communications, building codes and inspections, safe street design, safe collection and disposal of waste and the provision of safe drinking water to name but a few. Nonetheless, if people do not feel that they, their families and their belongings are safe in their homes, neighborhoods and businesses, few other efforts at community development will be as successful as they could otherwise be.

Ensuring the vitality and sustainability of our communities requires more than just envisioning grand projects: it demands a strategic alignment with comprehensive plans and zoning ordinances.
