Regarding planning disputes in Hillcrest: The conflict is not simply pro-growth versus anti-growth. Many of us are concerned that the city seems eager towithout serious talk about building great neighborhoods. Plan Hillcrest is weak on public spaces, tasking each developer to add wider sidewalks and calling it a promenade.
San Diego is now being retrofitted with lots of expensive small apartments in seven-story buildings. But where is the commitment to creating the plazas and public spaces so common in older European cities? Community groups should push the city to do better. For example, the central core of Hillcrest west of Highway 163 is getting built up right now. I urge the city to work with the owner of the full block at Fifth and Robinson to develop a residential project on the southern half and a lively public plaza on the northern portion.
