WRT MM, according SANDAG: http://profilewarehouse.sandag.org/profiles/fcst/zip92126fcst.pdf, there will be 45% more housing unit (almost 11k housing unit) going up in MM in the next 40 years. So, MM will be much more dense in the future. MM population is estimated to increased by 49% or ~35.7k people. Even with the future density, MM is still a suburb.[/quote]
I think that Mira Mesa is a great opportunity for better housing and density in San Diego.
Mira Mesa is conveniently located near UCSD, and employment centers and has a vibrant Asian community.
Mira Mesa mall could be a shopping center/tranportation hub/central plaza with shopping, a cineplex and few high-rises towers like they have at Costa Verde. A trolley could connect MM to UCSD and the UTC area.
The old 1970s areas could be upzoned for mid-rise condo buildings.
Maybe an Indian tribe could annex some land and build a casino/hotel.[/quote]
brian, I gotta hand it to you for your “visionary” acumen. Have you ever thought of going into the “urban planning” field? :=]
