I'd like to be optimistic as well, but we've seen time and time again that people in San Diego don't want to think big. They think progress and thinking big is some horrible concept. :(

Well, lets hope that there are enough people with 1/3 the knowledge as us here on this site in the younger generation of SD. I think people are starting to wake up to the potential this city has and how it could easily be just as nice as Seattle, Vancouver, and Melbourne if people got off their ass realize this suburban kind of mindset of "well its so nice here, why change things" will not get us anywhere and leave us in these economic doldrums of extreme wealth disparity that we are in now.

Fat City Lofts Hearing Tomorrow at 2:30 CCDC
Hey guys I really think this is an important issue, I will be down there at CCDC 401 B Street tomorrow at 2:30 and I would love to see the SD forumers show up and represent what is right for the future of this city. Here is a great powerpoint presentation that shows why this development should absolutely be allowed to move forward:
http://co111w.col111.mail.live.com/d...1&n=1080602172 If this project is shut down it could have serious negative affects on future residential and mixed use development in the city of San Diego and other cities throughout the County. See you there -- :cheers: |

^^^ Too bad the East end of the C Street Core got cut off in that shot. I would have rather have that included than our lovely parking lot waterfront.
Went to the CCDC meeting on the Fat City Lofts on Wednesday, the level of ignorance in this city is appalling. Solar Turbines is the perfect example of a corporation using their financial might to influence politicians and whatever you call CCDC boardmembers... A very sad day for me and my hopes that this city and country can turn itself around. |
If the city doesn't get the stadium built and the Chargers bolt...I'll bolt too.

Here's a sneak peak at the progress of my thesis. It's a concept at this point, still lots of work to do. Thoughts?

About your thesis: How does the elevator work? And is this meant for downtown? The ground floor doesn't seem to mesh well with the surrounding urban fabric. |

This project does absolutely nothing to affect base sector employers and you know it K ex. Any person with any common sense who looks at the facts objectively will see that ST is not threatened at all by Fat City. This is nothing but a fear mongering propaganda campaign from Solar to see how far they can stretch their power.
Plus if Fat City is blocked it could have huge negative affects on future investment in residential projects and that will affect "Base Sector Jobs". There were multiple Real Estate Financing guys who spoke about this on Wednesday at CCDC. |
Are those shipping containers lol

Also have you guys seen this?
Got it from the Vancouver thread in the main forum. http://newurbannetwork.com/sites/def...-evolution.jpg Didn't know about it! |
