That video is absurd and ridiculous. Guy complains about tall buildings while living next to an area called DOWNTOWN. What did he expect, San Luis Obispo? Sorta like complaining about spaghetti while living in Little Italy, protesting horses from your home in Lakeside, or rallying against our local hipsters in ... North Park?
If the guy wanted to get away from the skyscrapers he could have just moved to say somewhere like Rockaway Beach? It's a heck of a lot closer than San Diego and the A train goes right there dude. |
Looks like One Paseo is going to get the 34,000 signatures. I just had a guy come to my house (I live at the far North End of 35th street in Normal Heights). So not only are they doing this at grocery stores but they have the man power to go door to door! I think Faulconer should use this issue as a turning point to educate people about developments.
The people trying to block One Paseo are saying "this could come to your neighborhood, Clairemont or Tierra Santa". This could not be further from the truth. Where has there been any office space built in the last ten years in City of SD? UTC and the Del Mar Heights/Carmel Valley sub markets. Mission Valley nothing, Downtown basically squat, Kearny has been mostly government and medical. My point is this kind of development will never come to other part of the city. From the renderings it kind of look like Americana in Glendale with a 7 and 9 floor office tower thrown in. This can only be supported in Carmel Valley with all the Del Mar, Solana Beach, RSF, and Fairbanks Ranch money close by. Tierra Santa lol.... The site is in the epicenter of wealth in the county kind of like the Fashion Island in Newport Beach or Century City in LA. Just our little mini SD scaled version. |

I like the style. It has a mid-century Cuba/Miami feel to it. Sure, given the location, I wish it were the 40 story tower it was originally planned as, but it's not a bad building in my opinion.

Looks like Lorena Gonzalez is trying to limit CivicSD through the legislator. According to the Voice of San Diego, she wants to take away their ultimate permitting authority downtown, and elsewhere. That would mean all projects would have to go to the City Council (more red tape).
So much for efficiency. |

This is extremely frustrating. Downtown is one of the few things in this city that is working well and is the only thing mitigating the disasterous housing shortage.

She's the union's hag and I guess the Unions have some council members in their back pocket. So everything can go through them.

Lane park opened. not sure what its good for except for homeless naps |
Notice the pitchers mound and home plate monument at Lane Field park. Nice touch!

That Lane Field South Rendering is weak sauce. Have you guys seen the new proposed 38 floor JW Marriott next to Staples Center to go with the 54 floor Ritz/JW combo that has been there for years? Why can't Lane Field South be at least as nice as that tower? We deserve a tall modern luxury hotel tower at the foot of Broadway not that pathetic rendering.
Man I wish Sempra was at least another ten floors taller at least so stumpy. That is a kick ass skyline view from Petco, and please can we get that 500 foot 7th and Market rendering someone posted a few pages back going. That would be a game changer for the SD Skyline just think of that along with BallPark Village and JMI's beast they want to build next to it!!! |
