[quote=spdrun]What about encouraging developers to build denser infill in desirable areas, rather than sprawling out into Lizardia? 4-6 story multi, not NYC type highrises! Might even be able to sell people on the views.[/quote]
spdrun, this has already been done in dtn SD (92101), Mission Valley SD (92108) and the Golden Triangle SD (92121). Dtn SD was the newest area to be built up in this way and only in the last few months have nearly all these new residential units been absorbed. Hundreds of them sat empty for YEARS.
We have PLENTY of low-rise condo housing with views in SD!
