No 1 challenge facing San Diego city libraries: inequity, consultants say

Parks plan, which would make Chollas Creek a regional park and add 100 more acres of parks, aims to boost equity Instead of basing their analysis on the nine city council districts, the consultants broke the city up into six zones: northern, beach areas, downtown neighborhoods, eastern suburban, border and southeastern. The per-capita square footage in library branches is 0.53 square feet in the border zone, 0.56 in southeastern, 0.57 in eastern suburban, 0.60 in beach areas, 0.61 in northern areas and 0.62 in downtown. “When we start looking at the different zones, we start to see the inequities,” said Jill Eyres, one of the consultants. “One of the things we find about bigger libraries is they offer more opportunities for families to come together and there is something for everyone.”
