This is for the Mid-City BRT line, they are putting in freeway-level stations that will connect to the main street levels at University Ave and El Cajon Blvd.

Took way to long to get started but I think it's a sign of good things to come.

thanks for the advice balboa park is like the top thing. staying in the 'little italy' part of town of downtown.

I always like San Diego skyline. That night shot is really epic!

This one of my favorite pictures I took of San Diego when I lived there back in 2013.

Did this thread move to Carson ?

I don't think so. I don't see any Oakland development news here. :shrug:

Some construction update pics would be fantastic for those of us cast out into the desert for an extended period of time due to gainful employment opportunities. How is Pacific and Broadway, Ballpark Village, Blue Sky (or whatever its now called), and isn't Bosa breaking ground on Kettner and Ash or somewhere thereabouts? Thanks in advance if anyone happens to post on these, and Merry Christmas!

Not an update but I think my brother took a nice picture of the light saber battle down at the Embarcadero

A rundown of all the projects going on Downtown. http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/...l-residential/

What the fukc?

... and a partridge in a pear tree. Seriously that sounds like a circus, good luck with the costal commission..

Cool proposal for totally under utilized real estate, but....A trolley stop on Harbor Island? That won't happen.

They better redesign the roadway so airport traffic isn't affected by it

Another world class (with 3 billion dollars, it will be world class) aquarium to dot the CA coast? Yes please! It will add weight to San Diego's ability to hold its own. I feel SD is still straddling that line between a regional city under the shadows of LA, and a large international metro in its own right (like Seattle). Anything that will go towards adding another important metro to CA is fine by me

By this point, any question about San Diego being the "large international metro in its own right" you're speaking of has been answered. It's not.

My rough hierarchy of US cities:

Tier 1
NYC
LA

Tier 2
Chicago
Washington DC
San Francisco
Boston
Dallas
Philly

Tier 3
Houston
Seattle
Miami
Detroit
Phoenix
Minneapolis
Cleveland
Denver

Tier 4
Charlotte
St. Louis
Tampa
Kansas City
Pittsburgh

Tier 5
Portland
San Diego
Orlando
Jacksonville
Nashville
Sacramento

There are omissions and folks could argue the placement of some of these, but San Diego's position in relation to its peers is clear.

I would put it in Tier 4 below Houston, Seattle, Miami, or Atlanta, but alongside Denver, Phoenix, Minneapolis or Cleveland.

I think Jacksonville or Nashville are a whole step below San Diego in terms of cosmopolitanism and economic reach. SDs biggest challenge is in carving out a cultural identity for itself to put it in the tier of Seattle or Miami. It's still emerging from its own Navy town shadow.

That sort of identity usually develops spontaneously.

I disagree with this list, but I'm too lazy to do anything about it besides disapprove. You've lucked out. haha.
