Press Release: Taxpayers Association Releases Comprehensive Fiscal Analysis of the City of San Diego

The San Diego County Taxpayers Association today released the findings of its 2026 Financial Health Analysis of the City of San Diego, a comprehensive review of the city's fiscal trajectory from 2011 to the present. The report documents trends in the city’s spending and revenues over time, highlighting entrenched patterns that have led to the unsustainable state of the city’s finances today, and ending with a warning that by attempting to solve a structural deficit through expansion rather than optimization, the city is heading toward a period of spiraling municipal debt.
