Thanks for the explanation. Since it’s a private landlord based program in SD County, I suppose then it’s up to the landlord and apartment manager to enforce quality of life issues in the complex. So ultimately the neighbors are at the mercy of the landlord. IF you do an internet search on Section 8 crime, there is still a propensity for higher crime in a Section 8 complex vs non, despite the criminal background checks of the tenants. I hope the project on Sierra Ave in Solana Beach won’t end up in disrepair and residents afraid to walk by.
According to newspaper articles, there’s a lot of opposition to the project on S. Sierra Ave. I can’t imagine why they would choose that site to locate it.

There was a mobile home park that was redeveloped in that area years ago and this is in settlement of that. I think they have to build it there or close to there.
I would also argue that 92106 is not the most highly coveted area of SD. Certainly a very nice area no doubt about it. But it is wedged between much of lower OB which is dumpy, and much of Point Loma around Midway, Rosencrans and Sports Arena is really an eye sore of nasty strip centers and ugly architecture. I was down on Newport Street in OB by the beach the other day and it was just so dirty, nasty and disgusting I didn’t even have a good time. And I like funky neighborhoods! You also can get a lot of jet noise throughout that whole area.
