[quote=briansd1]…There is no reason for large lots in the city. Let the owners easily sell and cash out, if they wish. New owners can build more dense units to accomodate the growing population.

brian, my “attitude” is shared by many who reside in CA coastal counties and other desirable areas throughout the nation. Thus, you won’t see in your lifetime what you are proposing here. I don’t believe upzoning of prime CA coastal RE will ever happen, or, for that matter, east coast enclaves such as the small cities and towns on Long Island, state of NY.
It is unrealistic to expect the masses, incl young families who may want to live on one mid to low income, to be able to afford to reside in these coveted “prime” areas of the US. That’s why there are many other areas of SD County, the state and the country from which to choose housing to buy or rent.
