Opinion: San Diego's leaders aren't listening to citizens' concerns about growth and density [Opinion]
When I moved to the San Diego area 22 years ago I visited Seaport Village and was thrilled to find a charming historic area of shops and restaurants. And it even had a stream with ducks running through it.Now, in the name of “progress,” powers that be want to replace it with a monster commercial center in which visitors will feel like ants. At the same time we could be paying the developers $550 million in taxpayer funding for the privilege.
The homeless are still without shelter, the Gaslamp area smells like a port-a-potty, city trees aren’t trimmed and the potholes go unfilled. Now we will be asked to sign a blank check for trash pickup that previously came out of our property taxes.Our name for the pothole-ridden stretch of Navajo Road is Nava-hole Road.
