While I'm sure you can simply wait for the proposals to be plastered all over the internet, the Port is hosting an open house next week to preview the Seaport Village redevelopment ideas:

^Actually MIMBY's in my experience come from all political persuasions. NIMYism isn't necessarily partisan. It stems from self-centeredness, a universal human trait.
The reason why you're seeing many liberal NIMBYs is simple. Liberal jurisdictions are the only places with environmental laws that can be abused by NIMBYs. Cities that have laissez fair zoning (eg Houston) have weak environmental laws, and by extension, no legal grounds to abuse and obstruct with. |

It's one thing to troll and be on-topic at the same time, but this Bertrice guy both trolls and is incoherent and completely ad hominem. |

Sure, I can see that. In California the ones Ive encountered tend to be environmentalist liberals who are anti development and show up at virtually all development proposals and have a tinge of disdain for wealthy people who want to do what they want. I think most developers here vastly over shoot what they want to build in their proposals because they know it will never be approved as proposed. |

It's seasonal, but at least Frankfurt is a major hub and will give travelers more options.

It is a problem that will never be fixed by blaming people with different political views, that's for sure. |

The Salvation Army apparently wants to use some of their property to park trailers and sell donated cars. I tried looking up zoning laws but with little success. See the emails in page 8 or 9 (?) of the pdf above. Does anyone know/think if they will actually get approval to use a half of a block for junk storage indefinitely? |

So that is a bit odd. The following line from the article: Sharon Cooney, MTS chief of staff, said her agency opposes the project because it is incompatible with the operation of the bus yard, where 155 buses are washed, cleaned and readied for daily routes from 11 p.m. to 4 a.m. "It's very noisy," she said. "I would like to make it clear to you this is going to be a potential problem." I read this as: "There's no way we are going to ever approve a housing development adjacent to the bus yard." I wonder if she has already gotten a sweet offer from Spanos...... |

Residential development adjacent to a bus yard is an obvious conflict. The yards are 24-hour operations. Fueling, cleaning, maintenance, etc. |

Go to page 102 of the same .pdf to see a zoning map for Centre City. My interpretation based on the zoning information is that it depends on how the city categorizes the use. If the use is considered "Parking," then the Salvation Army needs a conditional use permit; if the use is considered "Moving and Storage facilities" then it is not allowed; and if it is considered "All other vehicle & Vehicular Equipment Sales & Services," then it is not allowed. See the below .pdf for info about conditional use permits in San Diego: http://docs.sandiego.gov/municode/Mu...Division03.pdf |

Another obvious reason for the bus yard to go, I guess. |
The Union Trib has the Seaport Village redevelopment proposals up. So many huge plans that could revolutionize the Embarcadero! My personal favorite is the Oliver- McMillan/Renzo Piano team.

I'll need to look through all of these more closely before I come up with a strong opinion. Unfortunately I think a lot of it will come down to people's opinion of the "gimmick", rather than the entirety of the design. |
