Rolando residents fight dorm-style project
There's far more room/separation/access around UCSD. One issue is scale. Many in the neighborhood don't mind **some** student presence (this is not simply NIMBY). The problem is that we're talking about something like1800 students (and more friends and visitors) overwhelming a small neighborhood. Except for one outlet which will be grossly overcrowded, the main exit will be through a couple of small streets of this residential neighborhood, streets wholly inadequate to handle the traffic. Parking will be charged for the residents (students with little money), so what little street parking is available will be constantly occupied, and residents will have to park away from their own homes. With the slightest honesty on the part of the developers, there might have been compromises possible, but they're building something completely out-of-scale, which is nothing but a disaster for the community. All by deceiving the city, residents, and taxpayers.— February 20, 2014 7:34 p.m.
