Opinion: University City residents should have say in how their community will grow [Opinion]
” : The U-T published an entire page dedicated to the outrageous growth plans for University City. The three separate opinion pieces were written by two “transit advocates,” a real estate developer and a UC San Diego student. You couldn’t find one homeowner or long-term renter? There’s only about 35,000 of them who would disagree with the plans.
We, the residents of University City, are not saying no to all growth here. We are saying that putting 56,000 of the city’s required 96,000 new housing units here is clearly unfair and will destroy our neighborhood. Cut that number in half and spread the rest of it to other parts of the city. Do your job, report on the other side of the argument.I read Aidan Lin’s essay promoting even more high-density housing for the University City area.
I would like to suggest that there comes a point where density reduces the quality of life that originally attracted people to an area in the first place. We are racing to become another Los Angeles complete with crowded freeways and a loss of the charm that is what we love about our San Diego communities.
I wonder if someday when Aidan graduates college and perhaps raises a family if he will still hold his beliefs and locate his new family in a high-density area. I also wonder if Nielsen would advocate for high-density construction in her Del Cerro neighborhood.
