The San Diego City Council on Tuesday unanimously approved plans to add more housing to Hillcrest and University City.
The plans are expected to turn both neighborhoods into high-density, high-rise havens that could double the number of people who live there in about the next 25 years
“These plans only get updated about once every 30 years, so if you look at doubling in 30 years that’s a 2.4% annual increase, and the housing doesn’t all go in at once and doesn’t get built the same day. What this does is authorizes a plan, so it’s not all 'willy-nilly' for housing to go in in specific places,” Will Moore, policy counsel at Circulate San Diego, who is in favor of the plans, said.
Some who are in favor of the plans said they want to make sure there’s affordable housing that is built when the new developments are established. Both community plans also detail pedestrian, bicycle and transit infrastructure improvements and ask for more places where people can meet and walk.
