The City of San Diego Redistricting Commission is gathering input from all communities across the city, including Rancho Peñasquitos.
You may be asking yourself why does this matter to me? The census population count determines how many representatives each state will have in Congress for the next 10 years and how much federal funding communities will receive for roads, schools, housing, and social programs.
The RP Town Council Redistricting Committee survey is focused on the following four of the six criteria used to determine new boundaries that will impact our socio-economic community concerns:
-
-
-
compactness
-
*contiguity
-
equal population
-
racial fairness

Penasquitos Canyon is a much more significant separation of neighborhoods vs. highway 56. Many residents have children who attend schools in PQ that are currently in a different city council district.
