” : The U-T published an entire page dedicated to the outrageous growth plans for University City. The three separate opinion pieces were written by two “transit advocates,” a real estate developer and a UC San Diego student. You couldn’t find one homeowner or long-term renter? There’s only about 35,000 of them who would disagree with the plans.
We, the residents of University City, are not saying no to all growth here. We are saying that putting 56,000 of the city’s required 96,000 new housing units here is clearly unfair and will destroy our neighborhood. Cut that number in half and spread the rest of it to other parts of the city. Do your job, report on the other side of the argument.I read Aidan Lin’s essay promoting even more high-density housing for the University City area.
I would like to suggest that there comes a point where density reduces the quality of life that originally attracted people to an area in the first place. We are racing to become another Los Angeles complete with crowded freeways and a loss of the charm that is what we love about our San Diego communities.
I wonder if someday when Aidan graduates college and perhaps raises a family if he will still hold his beliefs and locate his new family in a high-density area. I also wonder if Nielsen would advocate for high-density construction in her Del Cerro neighborhood.
sfh subdivisions in north country create traffic downtown, NOT dense housing next to the trolley
'We're becoming LA with lots of traffic,' so don't allow dense housing near the $2.3 billion trolley extension that goes straight to the university and job centers... 🤦♂️
Most of UC is above 65 years old just wait 20 years and it solves itself
All communities change, always, since forever. There’s nothing special about UC. And honestly, having grown up there, I think it’s for the better.
These University City NIMBYs are drowning in a pool of their own self pity. 🥲
Get bent University City! Only the crazy radical bicycle activists and climate nuts get to have a say in how other peoples neighborhoods get put together
That ship has sailed, none of us have a say anymore, it’s a free for all cash grab for developers who own our politicians
These “community members” don’t want to allow new residents in their neighborhood because it dilutes their political power.
Grow? How? There is no water up there.
Yes, it’s called voting in elections. Giving a hecklers veto to a few dozen cranks who show to a public meeting is as anti-democratic as it gets.
