On Monday, @LaMesaCA voted unanimously to oppose millions in state grants for an affordable housing project in town. Of course the County, ever conscious of our homelessness crisis, agreed and dropped the proposal quicker than a hepatitis outbreak 2/8 https://www.kpbs.org/news/2020/sep/23/county-withdraws-application-housing-project-la-me/">https://www.kpbs.org/news/2020...
On Tuesday, we found out that the county& #39;s median home price hit a new, all time high of $640,000. Yay, we did it? *laugh cries* 3/8 https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/story/2020-09-22/san-diego-home-price-hits-another-record-640k">https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/...
On Wednesday, @SDMayorsOffice chose the @Padres to redevelop tailgate park with half the housing of the competing proposal, and an entire downtown block dedicated to a parking garage, right next to a regional transit hub, because WFT? 4/8 https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/growth-development/story/2020-09-23/in-bid-for-tailgate-park-padres-beat-brookfield-with-1-4b-office-focused-proposal">https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/...
Later that night, @CityofSantee approved a sprawl project in a wildfire zone, since nothing says home in California like a burning wreckage. Also, what transportation emissions? That whole climate-thingy will just solve itself, I guess. 5/8 https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/communities/east-county/santee/story/2020-09-24/fanita-ranch-development-gets-green-light-in-santee">https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/communiti...
Meanwhile, on Thursday, NIMBYs rallied to declare a decrepit, abandoned library in Mission Hills "historical" to prevent affordable housing in their & #39;hood. Modern redlining? No! Just preservation of white supremacy--I mean, "character" 6/8 https://www.kpbs.org/news/2020/sep/24/historic-designation-scuttles-plan-affordable-hous/">https://www.kpbs.org/news/2020...
More Thursday fun, the SD Planning Commission approved a high end office/hotel project with copious parking space right next to the soon-to-be @sdmts Blue Line in UTC.
Not one unit of housing. Zero. But that& #39;s how we like our TOD in SD--stupid 7/8 https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/growth-development/story/2020-09-24/major-overhaul-slated-for-strip-mall-next-to-utc-new-trolley-line">https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/...
