Commentary: We have a vision for our city that was co-created by more than 12,300 San Antonians in 2020.
The column leaves out a critical detail: San Antonio already has a vision, one that was co-created by more than 12,300 San Antonians in 2020, complete with goals to be achieved by 2030. I know this because I helped facilitate theOne of the greatest lessons learned in the first decade of driving progress toward the shared vision is that we’re more likely to reach it when people in positions of power lead with it. In order to lead with it, they have to first acknowledge it exists.
The original community visioning process was launched with the resources of City Hall in 2010, on the heels of electing Julián Castro, San Antonio’s youngest mayor. The second visioning process was launched in 2020, seven weeks before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Even so, SA2020 facilitated a yearlong process that engaged more than double the number of San Antonians a decade prior., an initiative under Mayor Henry Cisneros, without noting how SA2020 is distinct.
After beginning as an initiative of local government, attached to the leadership of a single mayor, SA2020 became an independent nonprofit that transparently reports on San Antonio’s progress. This helped ensure the longevity of the community vision and allows SA2020 to hold public institutions accountable to shared goals defined by San Antonians. This model is something we underscore when supporting cities across the country in creating their own community visions.
Across the tenure of three mayors, SA2020 has continued to drive progress. In 2018, Mayor Ron Nirenberg’s, equipped with the community vision for neighborhoods, presented a 10-year plan to City Council to realize 11 affordable housing policy priorities through a $1 billion investment. In 2022, with the reaffirmed and strengthened community vision that continues to prioritize affordable housing, San Antonio saw the first-ever bond to include affordable housing with a $150 million investment.
