FIH, you don’t have to worry about me exercising any of my NIMBY muscles around here anytime soon. I can go on living my life, never having to lift a finger in that direction because I/we have a very vocal senior-citizen cohort of neighbors who have a lot of time on their hands to work their local political contacts higher up the food chain and line up to testify at city council meetings, etc. Several years ago, this group was able to successfully get the city to veto Big D‘s plans for an 8-12 story mixed use bldg in dtn Chula Vista with a basement pkg garage, offices on the ground floor and condos on the other floors.
IIRC, at first, this group got the proposed bldg knocked down from 12 stories to 8 stories and then were eventually successful in convincing the city to run the developer out of town on their ears.
This 4+ AC lot is still sitting empty today, surrounded by chain link.
Sorry to hear the fine citizens residing in the SD North City area aren’t as effective and politically savvy as us “southerners.” The truth is, no one can erase a longtime residents’ average of 50 years residency in the city NOR can they erase WHO these longtime residents have met (and courted) along the way. It is what it is :=0
