Development-crazy on Chula Vista's west side
Of course the interesting thing about all of this is that it was claimed that we would have better representation when we moved from "open" representation on the council to district representation. Does that mean that we only have one person to shrug their shoulders when we can't get reasonable answers?— November 2, 2015 9:26 a.m.
Development-crazy on Chula Vista's west side
I think it is time that planners realize that they need to allow spaces for at least two cars per unit, as well as guest spaces, as well as commercial spaces, if they are planning on a mixed use building. We already know that when gated communities are built with a lack of parking, the surrounding neighborhoods suffer. So you know there would be vast spill-over from this building onto the surrounding streets if only one space is planned per unit. I am aware that some people project that Millennials will be using public transportation more, or using bicycles or a combination. But no favors are done if parking and storage needs are ignored. What are the park or recreational spaces closest to this site? What about the schools? Does infill planning include consulting with school districts so that they are aware of impacts?— November 1, 2015 9:59 a.m.
SDSU does poorly with the poor
This surprises me--because I know there are quite a few students who are mostly self-supporting who go from local community colleges to SDSU. Could it be that not all students are aware of all the financial support available to them? What about the category of those who are working full time but taking classes (maybe one or two) per semester? It sounds like this group might not have been included in the study. Does this study include only full time "traditional" students? Because I think that SDSU is really pretty flexible in accepting students from all backgrounds.— November 1, 2015 9:44 a.m.

Development-crazy on Chula Vista's west side
Susan, I can't answer your question regarding what a middle road would be between sprawl and densification, but I also wonder what people with city planning knowledge would say. I am still wondering about those many properties that Sweetwater owns...why couldn't those properties become parks, since the city of Chula Vista's west side has such a poor record when it comes to creating park space--or I should say, the city of Chula Vista has such a poor record of creating park space as mandated by the city plan. Isn't it madness to continue to create more housing when parking is getting worse and worse, and the recreational spaces do not keep pace with development? Where are kids supposed to play? On the street? If you have high density development, there are no yards. The city of Chula Vista is supposed to oversee planning and development so that we will have a good place to live, a good place to raise families, a good place to grow businesses that contribute to our community. Why is it that the city of Chula Vista is acting as if they were punch-drunk after a bad fight? Or is it that they have been bought out, plain and simple.— October 31, 2015 10:17 a.m.

Can L.A. billionaire’s cash halt U-T layoffs?
Time to get ready for yet another attack on public education. Kind of makes me wonder if all the corporations that have staked out claims for the educational dollar had an influence when Sweetwater's troubles were at their worst. Is it too wild to think that maybe we couldn't get traction because some people wanted public school systems to circle the drain, so that the leavings would be easier to scoop up? Hang on, people, this could be another wild ride. Time to pay attention!— October 30, 2015 6:23 p.m.
HOA tricks, lies, and deceives ... and residents still don't care

Development-crazy on Chula Vista's west side
Unfortunately, the Chula Vista City Plan has meant exactly zip when it has come to developing--on the east side and on the west side. And then things like city parks and facilities that should have been planned and built years ago simply never appear. Ratios are changed, and the citizens get no input. We can't seem to get decent representation. Why is that? Little to no real news about candidates? Whitewashed schemes? Behind-the-scenes operators?— October 30, 2015 12:53 p.m.
