Maybe have a shuttle for old/disabled people

I always understood the 500 ft height limit to be specifically for projects within 1.5 miles of Lindbergh, but when I checked on the distance of some projects from EV, specifically Ballpark Village, they are further away than that.

Maybe I'm wrong, but in 2016, with GPS and other major advances in aircraft technology and safety, isn't there some room for negotiation on this? I get that a number of projects being approved by Civic SD aren't even coming close to 500, but then again, this skyline could use some more height.

Hello everyone,

After years of following this forum, I finally joined and wanted to include some recent development pics of Downtown San Diego. Enjoy!

I agree with you that in east village which is further from the airport than the older parts of downtown there might be room to challenge the height limit, but it doesn't seem like the status quo - developers and politicians alike - really care to challenge it. They all seem content with the plateau skyline we are building. Maybe in like 50 years when space is much more scarce and the airport finally moves it won't be an issue anymore.

There are serious plans to move the Airport to Mira Mesa? Also if the sell the Coronado Military base than Northern Coronado and the Airport site could become the Miami Beach of the West.

Bosa's Kettner and Ash building finally got some press after being under construction for a little while now:

I've been following these boards for a while now, decided to post some of my own photos as well. Originally raised in Jamul, lived in LA the past 5 years, returned in February and living aboard my boat in Point Loma. Gotta say though we have a awesome downtown and skyline. I recently had a friend from LA come visit and he said, "I always forget what a massive downtown San Diego has, it trumps LA". I think our level looking skyline makes the buildings look taller. Imagine a 900ft tower that made the rest look small.

Hey everyone!

How do I paste images into my post rather than having to create a hyperlink? Assistance much appreciated. Thanks! :)
