In late fall 2025, Save Pleasure Point (SPPt) distributed Balance in My Backyard (BIMBY)—a 25-question survey shared via email and Nextdoor—to gather community input on issues affecting our Pleasure Point neighborhood.
We feel confident that the survey reflects a balanced cross-section of neighborhood viewpoints. Despite being conducted during an especially busy time of year, we received a 7.5% response rate from approximately 1,700 neighbors who received the survey. For context, this compares favorably with Supervisor Manu Koenig’s reported response rate from the County survey sent to more than 16,000 constituents regarding proposed changes to the East Cliff Path.
Key findings:
More than 50% of respondents believe that proposed county code and zoning changes would negatively impact Pleasure Point’s character, spirit, and local resources, including concerns about:
- Potential impacts to our water supply
- Increased traffic and congestion
- Loss of public on-street parking
- Overcrowding and a shift toward a Mission Street–like feel
The full survey results—including written comments from many neighbors—can be found here: Balance in My Backyard Survey Results. We hope you find this information useful as community discussions continue.
Why this matters: Decisions being considered today will shape Pleasure Point for decades to come. While growth and change are inevitable, how they occur—and whether they reflect the values, scale, and resources of our neighborhood—depends on informed community participation. By sharing this survey data, we aim to ensure that the voices of current residents are included as policies and plans move forward.
