SDCTA Opposes Increase in City of San Diego Linkage Fee
The Housing Impact Fee (linkage fee) is an unstable source of funding for construction of affordable housing because it is based on volatile conditions relating to development activities and economic climate. Even with the consideration of delaying implementation of the increase until the economy improves, the fee is not a steady revenue source for affordable housing. If affordable housing is truly a priority of the City Council, a stable source of revenue to support affordable housing projects should be identified.
