San Diego compared to similar cities under a Favorable Economic Scenario for the Transit Upzoning Policy Scenario
Across all policy and economic scenarios, San Diego's projected development is between 10 and 12 times that of Tucson's and 1.5 to 2 times that of Denver's. However, these margins shift depending on the economy: in favorable conditions, San Diego's gains compared to Tucson can be reduced to 7 times.
