[quote=FlyerInHi]More apartments and condos would work wonders for housing affordability in the region and for hiring of job applicants to relocate to San Diego. More density will mean more opportunities for businesses to increase sales in the region.
We want a growing San Diego, not a stagnant, expensive San Diego.[/quote]
I think the point is many people don’t want such a large footprint there 🙂
And no, more apartments will not make housing affordable in this area. they have put many new apartment complexes in Carmel Valley, and I wouldn’t call the housing affordable at all. $2400/month for a 2 bedroom. Almost $3k/month for 3.
Not to mention that the bigger density of non-owner occupied, the less likely people that live there will ever donate money to the public schools extended studies programs. Just follow the money trail for the DMUSD extended studies programs, in which you have a small percentage of the families contributing to an optional program for which a big percentage of others don’t contribute jack and enjoy all the benefits of it.
This is a cash grab by kilroy. That’s why developers usually do. They dump a bunch of rental properties into a community, and then when the schools are overburdened, they don’t donate 1 penny to the public schools in that community. I might change my mind if Kilroy actually stepped up and committed to annual contributions to the DMUSD, San Dieguito school district for middle school, and high school for the next 10 years. But nope…I haven’t seen that mentioned.
