[quote=AN][I go back and forth about this. On one hand, I do want to voters to make the final decision. But on the other hand, I think most voters are not aware and informed about what their vote will affect 20-30 years from now. Which is why it’s actually important to have a holistic city plan. You can’t have a self sustaining public transit without density. But you can’t have density unless you change how SD is build. SD is almost built out with nothing more than suburban sprawl. So, public transit won’t have enough ridership to be self sustaining.
I bet most of the people who don’t like One Paseo would love One Paseo to be another strip mall just like the strip mall across the street. There’s nothing wrong with that, if that’s what you want. But then 20 years from now, SD will be exactly like LA. You can’t stop the city from growing. So, when you limit more density, builder will continue to build out instead of up. Then you’d have grid lock in all directions all the time.[/quote]

If developers actually commit to delivering on the parts that improve the schools, public transportation, etc, then I might believe that. But I don’t think, just based on Kilroy’s actions and handling all this, they really give a shit about the neighborhood, for most of the things I pointed out above. I’d say they are just like every other developer that once they get their permits, and start building their enormous commercial projects, who gives a shit about the public schools, public transportation, parks, traffic, etc.
