San Diego City Council voted this week to replace its existing neighborhood group in the Uptown area
The San Diego City Council voted last week to replace its existing neighborhood group in the Uptown area with a new group that describes itself as younger, more renter-focused and less resistant to development. It's expected the move could ultimately pave the way for more high-rises and dense development in Hillcrest, Mission Hills, Bankers Hill and nearby neighborhoods.
But when the City Council doesn’t like what it hears, it tries to choose a new group to “represent” the community. Board members should be selected by open elections without specifying that they have to come from certain groups. If the city doesn’t like the feedback they’re getting, they’re free to ignore it. Ultimately the decision will be made by voters in the next election for mayor and council members.
