I have always been suprised that no one has ever built on the land behind best buy. I never knew what it was for, but I always guessed it was zoned wrong, or for some kinda park or something. Everytime I drive the 15S, I wounder “huh?”. It just seems like a developers wet dream. ( I really hope they build apartments or condo’s there. SD has a real lack of entry level housing, and with all the freeway noise, can they ever really be luxery ANYTHING?)
Now I have also kinda been suprised about the area around Camino SF and Calle Cristobal also, but I kinda figured the problem was that the would keep that land for a bridge to penesquitos or something. Seems like a good way to alliviate traffic accross the canyon, though I suppose alot of people would shit a brick. 100 homes seems like alot, but I dont see any reason that it wouldnt work. You can just be damn sure they want to use the 92121 area code if at all possible rather then the 92126. I wonder if that isnt why they are delayed.
As for the 3000+ in the Canyon, ill need to read up on that. Seems like a pipe dream, but what do I know. Thanks for the heads up.
As for the effect on demand, I dont know. But Sdlookup has 23079 households as the listed number in MM. Assuming that translates into number of housing units, an increase of 21% to that number seems like it would hurt. Especially in the least desirable areas of MM. Who wants to buy a 1120sqft house built in 1971 when you could get a 1850sqft house built in 2015?
