[quote=FlyerInHi]I won’t get my wish, but I would prefer Mission Valley type density and large condo/apartments complexes mixed with 20 story buildings, all along the 56 corridor over sprawl to other parts of San Diego.

Fair enough. I’m all for you wanting whatever you want. Doesn’t mean it will work to cram that many people in an area without decent ways to transport them in and out.
And it’s apples to oranges in the transit department – Mission Valley has several trolley lines, buses and 4 major freeways feeding into it, whereas Carmel Valley has zero public transit and two freeways, if you can even call the 2-lane 56 a freeway.
But here’s a visual – on the SD Transit System map, you’ll see a web of colorful squiggly lines all over Mission Valley and if you scroll down to the north county map, you’ll see absolutely none, just a vast blank space in Carmel Valley: http://www.sdmts.com/MTS/documents/rtm-oct-2014.pdf
Once there’s a decent plan for public transit in the area, denser housing should be supported, but until then, we’re creating more way problems than we’re solving.
