The Architecture of Truth in a City of Change
Preservation in Peril: SOHO on the Front Lines
May/June 2025

In recent years, the threats to San Diego’s historic neighborhoods, homes, and cultural landmarks have grown more aggressive and more deeply entwined with misinformation. Through our Preservation and Policy articles, we’ve called out the rhetoric, exposed the false narratives, and laid out the truth: historic preservation is essential to sustainability, affordability, equity, and identity.

Ongoing and written between 2022 and today, this collection of articles chronicles SOHO’s frontline battles against misguided development, broken historic designation systems, and the erasure of history.

We urge you to read, reflect, and recommit, because preservation matters—now more than ever.
