- Measure to put affordable homes on Santa Monica Airport land won’t be on November ballot
A proposal to build 3,000 affordable housing units on part of Santa Monica Airport’s land will not appear on the November 2026 ballot due to missed signature deadlines. Supporters aim to resubmit by August 2028, while park development plans continue, with 75% of the airport’s land already designated for a public park.
