To liven up this dead thread…….
I stumbled across an interesting web by the architect “public digital”, http://www.publicdigital.com/ . They seem to be doing a lot of work for Oliver/McMillan. They have designed the last 2 in downtown SD and have a huge project in Houston. Anyways, I can across a design charter for a mega-block of east village. It was done to visualize urban mixed use project, integrating existing building and landscape into new high-rise construction. Personally, I think it is a wonder concept that other developers should embrace many of these concepts. What you all think?

Environmentalists lose ruling in Navy Broadway project
SAN DIEGO – A San Diego County Superior Court judge has ruled against a citizens coalition suing to halt the Navy Broadway redevelopment project on environmental grounds.
The decision, handed down Monday, means that the Navy and developer Doug Manchester now only face a federal legal challenge and an appeal from the state's coastal agency before the 16-acre project to build hotels, offices and shops along San Diego's downtown waterfront can get under way. Manchester spokesman Perry Dealy called it a “very positive decision that reinforces the project.” Navy Broadway Complex Coalition member Ian Trowbridge said the judge is wrong on the law and there will be an appeal. The group won a partial victory last summer in the federal case, when a judge ruled that the Navy didn't properly notify the public about the environmental review process. Since then, the Navy has reopened the public record. Dealy said the project won't move ahead until all legal challenges are resolved. Manchester won another case against the California Coastal Commission over a development permit, but the state has appealed. Calling the delays “frustrating and difficult,” Dealy also said the timing hasn't been right for development. “The market conditions aren't correct anyway. We are hopeful that by the time the legal issues are resolved we'll have financial recovery in the real estate market,” he said. Manchester has a 99-year deal with the Navy to develop the land, as long as he rebuilds the Navy's aging offices on site. http://www3.signonsandiego.com/stori...o&zIndex=90902 |
By the way I noticed that there was a big dumpster set up on the corner of 13th and F street hopefully for the East Village Green!!!! Public also did some diagrams for the park. Pretty funky stuff! I hope they do leave the brick walls of the red brick building along 13th street as indicated in PUblic's diagrams.

Stop this DALLASness NOW!!! Yes, Dallas is much bigger than SD if you're talking "metro", but actual city pop and size, SD takes the cake.

I wouldn't say SD's population is declining, but it might seem that way compared to what is happening in Dallas.

Dallas Talk = Thread Killer

The California Department of Finance is the best source of demographic data for the state in years between federal census counts. Much greater effort and detail goes into their work than the Feds do on their end. Further, the State effort is ongoing whereas the Federal is ad hoc.
That said, California's rate of population growth has been slowing; however remains consistent in whole number growth. Over the past 30 years, the state has grown anywhere from 300,000 to 700,000 in a single year. That holds true today... with 408,695 added to the state's population. San Diego County saw growth too... growing from 3,131,552 to 3,173,407 and had the 2nd greatest population gain in terms of whole number growth; 41,855. Fwiw, LA County had 91,527.... tho is right at 10.4 million. Half of the growth occurred in the City of San Diego. The city grew from 1,333,617 to 1,353,993... a gain of 20,376. The state's total population as of January 1st was 38.3 million... and will likely surpass 40 million by 2013 or so. 60 million are expected by 2050. |
