[quote=FlyerInHi]BG, sorry to say but household pets are not environmentally friendly. They are the invaders. And I say that as a dog lover.
It’s build out or build up. We need dwellings for people to live in.[/quote]
I have never subscribed to the “Build ’em and they will come,” mentality. SD County doesn’t “need” any more housing. We HAVE existing housing to choose from. We HAD enough existing housing to choose from around 1990-1992. Had all the jurisdictions in the county stopped building at that time, SD County residents would have a lot better quality of life today, IMO.
If SD County’s rents become too high for our “service sector” employees to live in, there is always a lesser-desirable suburb (such as EC), a relative’s back bdrm … or Mexico (unlike our coastal counties to the north, there is that choice here).
What’s wrong with, “Don’t build ’em and they will come anyway and accept whatever existing housing is on offer.” Isn’t that what’s happening in SV? Doesn’t SV have plenty of service sector jobs? Why do we need to “build” for everyone who thinks they want to live here, regardless of their ability to afford it?
