And there are all these massive retail parking lots which are begging to be redeveloped with some amount of green space. For background, lived in 8 countries over 20 years, the amount of land wasted here is mind boggling.
San Diego is better than many parts of the US but how many shopping centers do we have from 1960s and 1970s which are oversized so we can have 50 types of potato chips to choose from.
A couple of mass have limited underground parking which is closer to how things could be but still far from efficient land use.
Besides, what’s wrong with mixed use (retail/office/housing in one).
