This Central Coast beach town is beloved by its residents for its laid-back family-friendly atmosphere, exceptional hiking and biking trails, highly rated public schools, and gorgeous weather year-round. Visitors love to stay in the eclectic Madonna Inn, dine creekside in downtown SLO, and sample Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs in the nearby Edna Valley wine country. One thing that few people love about San Luis Obispo is the town’s extremely high housing costs. We believe SB 9 can help by introducing more “missing middle” options for renters and first-time home buyers.
