SAN DIEGO — About 75 people gathered at Sweetwater Road and Troy Street in Lemon Grove Saturday to protest San Diego County's plan to build tiny homes for the homeless.The protesters aim to replicate the success of Spring Valley residents, who recently convinced the San Diego County Board of Supervisors to abandon a previously approved plan.“The people who need this help, this isn’t going to help them,” said Ron Woods, placing signs opposing the plan on a fence outside the property.
Protests against large-scale plans to house the homeless are common. Similar opposition has arisen regarding the City of San Diego’s plan to build a mega-shelter near Kettner and Vine Streets in the Midtown area. The plan in Lemon Grove has emerged because residents in Spring Valley successfully persuaded the Board of Supervisors to withdraw a previously approved plan, which also resulted in the loss of $10 million in state funding. That money has since been redirected to San Jose.
