[quote=bearishgurl]If this urban-sprawl was not allowed to take effect to the degree it did, it is VERY likely that new-homeowner money would instead have been used to revitalize SD’s close-in neighborhoods house by house and block by block.[/quote]
Have you been to North/South Park, Hillcrest, Normal Heights, Gaslamp, East Village, etc in the past 20 years? They’ve gentrified quite a bit, so I don’t know what your above paragraph even means. Have you expected them to gentrify more than they already have?
