Housing, immigration and the fentanyl crisis were all part of a packed agenda for San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria as he visited Washington D.C. Tuesday.
Gloria's trip included a stop to speak at a national housing conference that brought together housing professionals, policymakers, researchers and advocates to discuss solutions to the nation’s housing policy challenges.
"I think when you look at our affordable-housing density program, as well as some of the innovations we've advanced in accessory-dwelling units, what you can see is the production increases in affordable housing," he said.He also met with U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to discuss the migration challenges at the U.S.-Mexico border, including the lifting of Title 42.
“My conversation with our federal partners is going to be very clear. We want to see fentanyl listed as a Schedule 1 drug, making it to the most regulated form of substances that we have," he said.
