^^^ Absolutely Qualcomm has the existing infrastructure, I was just thinking Fiesta Island may be a bit more enticing because of the Bay/Ocean views to be had and the fact there is usable beach front to relax on. But like I said NIMBYS would go bananas if you proposed something big on Fiesta, they want it for their damn dogs and over the line tournaments :rolleyes:
Seriously why not have Spanos/Gaylord/and Anshultz guy who built I believe Staples and the MLS stadium at CSU Dominguez Hills all get in on this. All three are Billionaires, all three have vision. Plus you could maybe have the Clippers play 20 to 30 games a year in a San Diego arena, because I doubt a NBA team would come here. Maybe if Katrina hadn't hit New Orleans the Hornets would move but now that manuever would be frowned upon. |
Too bad nobody who has the power to do something about our ideas can't think of them on their own and do something about it.

^^^ Well I'm sure Mark Fabiani and his staff (you know who he is write, Chargers guy appointed to find stadium sites) have called every big developer of stadiums, ballparks, arenas, resorts, etc. in North America and probably some in Europe too. Whether or not he has actually met with all of them and thoroughly shown them ideas/plans is another thing.
The problem lies in developing BIG projects in this county, it is just really hard as we have seen time and time again. Look how long Petco and the Convention Center took! Vegas, Miami, Atlanta, and Texas cities seem to be much more adept and pulling off large endeavors. I do have some connections with Bill Walton's brother (my mother was married to him in the 90's) and I am going to call Bruce and see if he knows Ernie Hahn or Anshultz and maybe he could be a conduit for getting my/our ideas heard. |
^Now that's some good connection! ;)

It would be a perfect opportunity to also add to the exisitng short list of harbor slips for boats... maybe turned into some mixed-use residential and retail... kinda recreational harborish in nature. And, parking could be shared with Sea World. Below is a picture I posted illustrating Qualcomm at the same scale as the discussed portion of Mission bay Park... to point out the similarity of sizes. http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n...AtSeaWorld.jpg But, I followed up and researched Mission Bay Park. Apparenlty it is in some type of conservatory or something... securing it's use as a park for the foreseeable future. |

My advice to the guy would be if you are going to buy something that you want to keep for a while, and you are only going to be using it for weekend getaways, buy a resale from some poor chap that bought at the peak hoping to flip the unit, and will take the lesser loss now to stop the bleeding. Developers build these for about $350 per SF, and they will hold on to the units for a long time before cutting the prices too low |

Btw, there are some units right now, other than the older east bloc looking buildings, going for under $400/sft right now too. Aqua Vista and Palermo... If it cost developers $350/sft to build... gee, I don't think we'll see many new residential towers starting any tim esoon, I regret. |

The one thing about realestate, like other risky investments, is the longer you plan on having the investment, the better your chances of making a good profit. If you goal is simply to make money in the short-term like so many tried when the market was hot, I say don't do it. If it's a property you like and plan on staying for a minimum of 5 years, then absolutely do it. I live downtown and I like my unit and am confident the market will rebound, it is just a question of how much further the market will slip before it starts the climb back up. This is not a time to be buying with quick profit turnaround in mind, but if you are seriously looking for a place you like and want to live in for awhile it's a good time to buy |
a charger stadium is needed, but why doesn't anybody ever talk about the library that is not getting built? I think this should be a higher priority for the city right now. Has anyone been to the downtown library lately??? It's like going back in time to the 40s or something, it is as big of a joke as our airport. I think if the library waas to be built, that area of EV would start to show more signs of development instead of the dead proposals there now
we have a barren lot for a library across the street from a barren lot for a library tower, very sad to see especially considering how long both have been there collecting dust :( |
Cosmo Square
so, on the CCDC site which was last updated 27-JUNE-2007, the cosmo square project which used to say it would start "spring of '07" now says starting "late '07". Do you think there are really plans to groundbreak this year or is CCDC just updating with phantom dates so their site doesn't look out of date?????????
